html5 and flash player

Hi i installed html5 player but videos sometime still play in flash , any reason thanks, ps is it me or is video converting very poor on this new update 7.1, getting many failed converts and very high cpu usage causing virtual memory problems.

A - are you using firefox - technically, the flash version of the video should kick in if on a non html5 enabled browser, I have found this also happens a lot with firefox.

B - ffmpeg handles the conversion for the uploaded videos, so make sure permissions are set correctly

C - in the flash apps panel - settings - make sure h264 is checked - i have also heard that this can make conversion slow

EDIT

What I did for firefox not playing html5 videos:

add this bit of code to the bottom of the .htaccess file - but above the "AddType application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip .air"

AddType video/webm .webm

AddType video/mp4  .mp4 .m4v

AddType audio/mp4  .m4a

AddType video/ogg  .ogv

AddType audio/ogg  .ogg .oga

After inserting above code, I then cleared all caches in Dolphin and browser.

hi i thought h264 should be unchecked , im on shared hosting only because vps is so pricey  

 in 7.1 h264 has to be checked for it to PB in HTML5

if you upgraded the site from .9 to 7.1 and h264 was off, they will only play in the old player, turn on h264 and going forward they will encode correctly, with the updated ffmpeg, the process does not take as long as before.

Please look at my blog about upgrading to 7.1

Note the post from AlexT about why h264 now needs to be enabled.

the problem is the videos fail if i check the box , if its unchecked they convert but poorer quality

 that's the problem with not being able to set your php.ini timing longer so ffmpeg does not timeout while running.

you could ask your host if they could increase but shared host usually do not.

hi i asked my hosting , just got a answer.

I have set max_execution_time to 300, which is 5 minutes. This is the longest we can set this to on a shared server.

any good lol

no videos convert with h264 checked

 Then that is not going to work for you and your going to have to leave if off until you upgrade your server.

ok newton27 good advice , i will let my site grow first.
