How do you fix an AVI file that wont play?.How can I play AVI files on Windows Media Player?.Functionality needs to go first, then you can try and make money on it. We have open standards that are mostly better for AV now than the paid ones, and still those damn old restricted codecs are being used? Why? Why is humanity so incredibly stupid and stubborn at learning that the money making bit is a failure for global issues and user-friendly UI. Bug 1429986 is to check how many attempts to play mkv on Firefox and we will check if we should support it or not.įor crying out loud, we're almost 25 years into playing video in webbrowsers, we've had K-lite codec packs, linux distros ignoring all the fraunhofer institute limitations crap, ogg vorbis and webm, and still we have to resort to douchebags limiting their use of codecs because they expected to get rich from it. But if it is really popular, we will consider supporting it. We just hope the internet can be as simple as possible and hesitate to support more formats. The best way to get MKV support in browsers is bringing it up with Google and Mozilla. Once you've added the plugin script to your page, you can use it with any supported video: VLC Web Plugin must be installed on the browser to work. Video.js VLCĪ Video.js tech plugin that add VLC Media Player fallback. The VLC plugin is a fallback plugin and it's insanely easy to enable if you know where to enable it. Videojs-vlc: Allows you to play all media through VLC web plug-in within Video.js. Videojs-java: Allows you to play AIFF, AVI, GSM, MID, MPG, MP2, MOV, AU and WAV medias through Java within Video.js. WRT the VLC plugin it's a fallback plugin and obviously that would be up to the admin to enable but for those of us that use VLC and have it deployed network-wide, it would be very useful. These two plugins, specifically, would be extremely useful. I have been trying to figure out how to use either one of these plugins with NextCloud for a while. I know of 3 other NextCloud server admin's that want the same exact thing. It would be GREAT it someone could write a quick how to on how to enable these videojs plugins in NextCloud. Actually, videojs has plugins that will allow all AVI, MP4, MOV, MKV, FLV and others to play.
