Hello, I have embedded following code in my jsp -
<td><a href="/HImages/sample_mpeg4.mp4" class="floatbox" data-fb-options="width:640 height:360 addPlayButton:medium">Floatbox Player</a></td>
Problems I can't seem to decipher:
1. I can hear the audio, but it wont show the video.
2. I have a image, by the same name with jpg - sample_mpeg.jpg in the same video folder but it wont show up in the video thumbnail image in the webpage.
Do I need to add any tag for that or Floatbox understands itself about the image?
3. Also, if I were to play .wmv file how would floatbox play that. As of now, I just see a black screen with no video controls and no audio.
Thank you for your time and insights and ofcourse, a wonderful product!
Priti

Hi,
If I could see the page in question, I could determine what's happening without speculation. Make sure you're using the most recent Floatbox release: version 6.0.3 as of this writing. The Floatbox video player requires the video file to be present in two formats: MP4 and WEBM. The two encodes should reside in the same folder and have the same filename with the exception of the .mp4 and .webm extensions. Any Video Recorder is a good choice for video conversion to multiple types. Handbrake is great for conversion to MP4. There are others as well. MP4 is a video container and can hold a variety of video encode types. You may have a video that some browsers can't play. What happens when you load the mp4 directly in your browser? Add a thumbnail to the link on your page in the standard way of putting an <img /> element in that link. Floatbox doesn't provide support for WMV movies because it's not a web media content type and many browsers can't display it. You could convert it to MP4 and WEBM and then show it as supported HTML5 video. |
