Is it possible, in all, to play < video > H.264 source in Firefox?

I'm a developer working on a site that makes heavy use of the video. Video playback and the site navigation controls run together, it is so important for me to be able to have full control over the videos, however, the videos must be hosted on Vimeo. Information on the Firefox for H.264 support are all over the map, but at this point, I just assumed that, for convenience, that Firefox does not support playback H.264. If I can't find a good solution, we'll just draw the line at Firefox and is not supported by the browser at all for this site. It would be nice to make the site work on Firefox, but we believe that less than 6% of our viewers will use the browser, it won't be difficult to just redirect them to a different browser. Y at - it a hack, no workarounds, nothing, what I can do to play the video in the H.264 format using just the good old standard tag?

Hello mattclough, due to patents and support for questions about licensing for h.264 is not directly integrated in the browser, instead firefox account of the capabilities of the operating system or hardware for playback of media content.
It works in windows vista/7/8, linux, android OS devices and firefox - for details, please refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats

  • Why html5 could play video h.264 on ios, but flash could not?

    It seems that html5 local video player using play video, flash could do?

    With a Flash app you can play H.264 using the native player, either by making a navigateToURL() (which could open the video in the native player and get back to you when it's over) or you can use a StageWebView to read the HTML code that contains H.264 video. The StageWebView don't need not fill the entire screen, he could sit next to some normal Flash elements.

  • Cannot play videos on Facebook after reset Firefox and add new Flashback... How can I add the exemption of Facebook. Controls look different from the previous.

  • I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now online videos don't work on Firefox but on other browsers, does anyone else have this problem?

    After that download the latest version of Windows Update, I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or other sites. Switching to other browsers I found that I could play these same videos now without any problems. So I did a system restore to determine if updates of Windows had hit video play using Firefox. The restore point has been updated with the day before the download of Windows has occurred. After System Restore has been completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.

    To ensure that Windows Update has been the problem, I downloaded again the most recent Windows updates and once more could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System Restore has been used to put my computer on the eve again and once more the OE videos would play in the Firefox browser.

    In fact, your answer took me in a different direction and I found this on the Adobe site:

    The extension of RealPlayer for Firefox, the download and registration, has problems of compatibility with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to view a video.

    To work around the problem, do the following:

       Start RealPlayer.
    
       Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
    
       Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
    
       Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.
    

    Once I did this I could replay now videos in Firefox.

  • Dear all, I can not play the flash videos from any website through firefox because it freezes, but when I run firefox as administrator, then it works fine (but Google Chrome plays all the videos normally.). I use Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Help, pleas

    Dear all,
    Firefox crashes when I try to play flash videos from any website, but when I run firefox as administrator, it works very well. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 video parts without administrator.) I use Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Help, please.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    A few times I got messages Windows error on a problem with Firefox and security, but I don't remember the exact wording of the error message or of what Windows disabled.

    Now on some news sites, I can't play videos, it is happening now on YouTube where I get an error message when I try to play a video.

  • all of a sudden I can't play videos on the net or facebook

    Hi Chris,

    1. do you get an error message when you try to play videos?

    2. what browser you use to access the Web sites?

    3. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    Video playback problems can be caused by a number of different issues.  The videos are based on Silverlight, Flash or Java, and they might need to be updated.

    If you use Internet Explorer, I suggest you to follow the steps in this article:

    Sorry, this is not possible.  The 2800 Slate7 of entry has no video output.

    You can consider using a $35 Google Chromecast.  He can put Chrome mirrored to any TV with an HDMI input, as well as many services of movies like Netflix, Hulu, etc. all workers, through a 7 2800 slate!   (as long as both devices can access the same wifi network).   There are dozens of applications being written for the device and more coming every day.

    NOTE: I am not associated with Google or Chromecast device.  Just a happy user!

  • HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC does not play video streaming

    Hi-

    I have a brand new HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC, Intel (r) Core i7-2630QM CPU, 8 GB, Windows 7 Home Premium operating system, Service Pack 1 64-bit. Beats audio, Radeon graphics card

    It does not play Netflix streaming - the screen is dark, even though the video seems to play, and there is no sound.

    It does not play videos YouTube - video playback but the sound is off. It goes the same for Megavideo and other streaming services.

    On the other hand, he plays the music very well on the native Windows Media Player. I have not tried video on my laptop.

    I make me quite frustrated and don't know what to do. Does anyone have an idea if this is a problem of HP, beats, or Windows 7 (or a combination of all three)?

    At this point, I am considering doing a restore of the entire system and starting from scratch. Any help is appreciated.

    Eihalcon, welcome to the forum.

    It seems that you have not installed Adobe Flash Player .  At least, I suggest to start with that as a possible solution.

    Please let us know if this solved your problem or not.

  • You Tube is not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after the last update

    You Tube and other sites do not play video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after the last update for both. Adobe Flash works on other sites but not You tube and sites that can have embedded videos from You Tube, I'm not sure.

    Adobe Flash not crushed and no error message is visible. All that shows is a black screen for Flash video. Make a right click of the screen shows only a non-interactive 'a film has not loaded' and the clickable link to the home page of Adobe.

    I spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this, but none helped.

    I sent sad face, letting you know what I think of the last update for this reason which explains pretty much the same thing, as I have said here.

    I have no other info but if I had a form any entry and queries you I might be able to provide more.
