Viewing videos with the <video> element

HTML5 introduced a new <video> element to play video files directly in the browser. Prior to this, browsers had to use plugins, such as Flash Player, Real Player, or Quick Time to play video files. The <video> element is a lightweight alternative, and this recipe shows you how to use it in your app to view videos.

Getting ready

Copy the full code of this recipe from the code/11/video folder. The video snips are available in the code/resources/video folder. You can launch this code using the URL: http://localhost:8080/11/video/main.html.

How to do it...

The steps to be followed are:

  1. Create main.html with the <video> element in its page content:

    <div data-role='content'>
  <video controls autoplay preload='auto' width='300' 
    height='300'>
    <source src='../../resources/video/spiral.mp4' 
      type='video/mpeg' /> 
    <source src='../../resources/video/spiral.ogv' 
      type='video/ogg' /> 
    <source...
