html5 video tag

Hello,

html5 is supposed to be supported by webkit, but when i add the video tag in a simple index.html or php tag it returns an error :

<video> is not allowed inside <div>. Content ignored.
Unmatched </video> encountered.  Ignoring tag.

Any idea ?

  • Dropping this snippet in Sandbox in Titanium Developer works for me:

    • Really disappointing, but there no such thing as a video tag in Titanium Desktop for windows. Something I really expecting (webkit, html5) and needed isn't just there and it becomes even more odd to realize the problem doesn't exist on OSX. So my conclusion is Titanium Desktop for WIndows and OSX make use of a different webkit version.

      It works if its ONLINE but if you put the file offline in the Resources directory, it doesn't get loaded at all. I think this is a Titanium problem.

      When can we see something fixed for this, or a solution for OFFLINE play of video files?
      Thank you.

    • found out in linux I can use file:///home/user/test.mov as path and now it works. Can anyone confirm that for windows or mac-os / or even for mobile platforms?

  • Hello,
    i tried this - it's almost the same code i've written.
    it's working on safari but not in titanium.
    canvas works, but it seems that the video tag is unknown.
    i'm wondering if it can be a header http issue but i don't find anything.
