A Feature-rich HTML5 Media Player – Acorn Media Player

Acorn Media Player is a full-scale HTML5 media player.

Acorn doesn’t provide fallbacks, but there’s a logical reason behind it: as videos are marked up with the default <video> tag, you can easily choose your own fallback method.

Among the notable features of the Acorn media player are:

  • Full, tab-based keyboard control;
  • Fullscreen;
  • A number of ready-made themes;
  • Buffering;
  • Remembers default volume;
  • Easy to customize;
  • Supports captions via SRT files (like real media players!);

Overall, Acorn is a very promising media player, and it’s definitely a top pick for any page where you want to implement non-YouTube video clips.

Open Source Web Music Player – SCM

SCM Music Player is an open source web music player, built upon the SoundManager JS API.

The web application creates embeddable code that can be used ad tumblr, blogger, and basically anywhere where you can paste html code.

The player can play almost everything: mp3, mp4, YouTube videos, and RSS podcasts.

Although most developers will find something to tinker about with SCM, ultimately the library is for people who don’t want to put a lot of effort in creating a cool music player — and that’s fine, because the code works, and it works well.

 

JavaScript Full-screen API

John Dyer has published an interesting write-up (plus jQuery plugin) for the oncoming features that will allow browsers to go full-screen.

fullscreen JavaScript Full screen APIThe API offers a solution to the “fake” full-screen generated by HTML5′s <video> thus far.

The writeup contains a feature-detection jQuery plugin that allows using fullscreen on most browsers that support the feature.

Although it’s still a few months before it will be implemented in stable browser versions, this feature looks promising, and if the browser companies decide to allow using keyboard in this mode, it could as well rejuvenate browser-based cinema. (somewhat)

Responsive Videos for Designers – FitVids

FitVids is a jQuery plugin for making your videos responsive (i.e., fit into your already responsive design).

The library supports videos from Vimeo, blip.tv, YouTube, and more.

FitVids is something of a little breakthrough for those struggling to create a responsive design with videos.
