MP4 Video Embed from Server

Sep 23, 2011

Hey folks,

Does anyone know of a smooth way to embed an MP4 video (hosted on a server) into an Articulate slide? I have a potential client who is moving their videos to a new CDN and the CDN doesn't support/provide embed codes, so I've been trying to work around the issue by creating my own HTML file to pull into Articulate.

I can find code to create an HTML file that pulls it in, but the outcome ends up being glitchy based upon the browser (Firefox works great, IE9 shows nothing, Chrome asks for Quicktime plug-in permission).

Does anyone have some sweet HTML code that would help display an external MP4 file in Articulate?

Thanks!

Mike

could you utilise something like this, http://www.mozealous.com/streaming-flash-video-in-a-slide/

not sure if this will play mp4s or file locations not strwams, but it is a starting point

I have one for streaming flash files via an xml if it will help, again not sure if it works for mp4s

James,

Is this a server side add on? Or is it simply built on my end, embedded into Articulate, and then "pulls" the video from the server?
