Is Magento somehow unique in a way that would make the (now becoming a standard) <video> tag (e.g. HTML5 Video with Flash Fallback) and its related js + swf players not perform well in a Magento site?
I understand that regular html blocks can be used in Magento but I have to ask because it seems like with Magento – ya just never know.
Also, I have had a few developers tell me if I wanted to develop a store that has strong and current video features (e.g. video galleries with the latest custom players like flarevideo.com/ or mediafront.org/) that I would be better off going with Drupal (because of the existing modules drupal.org/project/mediafront and/or
drupal.org/project/flashvideo).
The problem with using Drupal is losing some of the richer e-com features of Magento.
So what’s up with getting current video solutions in Magento?
any feedback much appreciated!
this has been solved
you can:
a. host all video and player assets remotely and paste in code almost anywhere (blocks, widgets) JW Player and SlideShowPro both work on web and iOS now
b. for pure HTML5 video tag just paste in the code (all urls absolute and outside of magneto)
