writing HTML5 Script - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have downloaded JW Player Javascripts to my computer for playing HTML5 Videos in my Motorola Milestone running with Kabaldan's CM7 7.2.0 ROM.The instructions included in the downloaded zip file says to write one script in the "Head" and the other in the "Body" of the web browser page of the phone.But being a noob in this matter I don't know how to access this web browser page and where in this page I have to write them.If any body give me a step by step instructions for this I would be much grateful to them.Expecting a helping hand with thanks in advance,
pnsdhrn.

An HTML document consists of two main tags: the head & the body. Whatever is in the head isn't rendered in the DOM and therefore isn't seen by the end user. Whatever is in the body IS rendered in the DOM and IS seen by the end user.
If you can link me to the download link for the Zip I could further help you!

What are you wanting to use JW Player for exactly? This is simply an alternative to a flash video plugin for web developers...e.g. if you're building a website and wish to include a video on a particular page.

Dear jhjhjhjh,
My intention is to play HTML5 videos in certain websites directly in the website itself without downloading them and watching with playback facility.Also the videos should play without the aid of any flash player applications such as Adobe Flash Player.I suppose you got it.

All you need to do is browse the website in an HTML5-compatible browser - stock ICS browser, Chrome Beta & Dolphin HD all fall under that category as they are all derived from WebKit : )
JW Player isn't a user-centric "addon" for a browser - it's a JavaScript plugin for web developers to use on their own websites to allow for HTML5 video playback.
Am I misunderstanding you? I get the feeling I am...

Thank you dear blend.No you are not misunderstanding me.I tried Dolphin HD,Chrome Beta & stock ICS.They all won't play the videos in the website itslf.All will download the video and playback using the videoplayer of the phone.Instant plyback is not coming.I hear about another browser 'Puffin"which does the instant playback in the website itself.Is it real?And what about it's performance compared to Chrome Beta and Dolphin HD?Please bear with me if I am disturbing you.

P.S. I'm jhjhjhjh - just had my username changed.
If you could send me a couple of URL's you've been trying to watch the videos on, i'll test it myself. This'll give me a chance to reproduce the issues you're experiencing.
I've never tried Puffin as Chrome Beta is perfect for me and I swear by it on the iMac (desktop).
And of course you're not disturbing me - this is a community : )

YOUTUBE on 6800

Does anyone have a working solution for YouTube on the 6800? I've searched everywhere and tried everything implied, but I still can't get it working. I've tried all the flash video packs, TCPMP, WMP, HTC Streaming Media Player (which won't cook for some reason, I get errors.) Nothing is working. And I love youtube. And i Need it! It's how people that should never be remembered for anything are remembered for something. And I have long breaks of downtime at work.
So if someone has a working solution, would you please do a short writeup or post the files here? Thanks
I use TCPMP and Flash Video Bundle. You need to get the new flash video bundle to do this because youtube changed some stuff.
Found my information here:
http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=5094
Search for youtubeplay it just came out. Works pretty nice, fastest way to play them yet.
I use skyfire browser and it works with no additional DL's, hollowood.com, any trailer on "those sites" and I can go to flash sites with no issue.
I never got any of those DL's to work on my 6800, so I just use the browser.
skyfire.com
ok so I got youtubeplay and it works good. thanks!
kickass
I'll have to try youtubeplay. Looks promising.
The only thing is that it only plays youtube videos, while the TCPMP FlashVideoBundle also plays video from other sites as well.
i def like that tcmp/flashvideo does other sites, and lets u download the video, but the interface of youtubeplayer is nice. def better if u know what ur looking for. someone posted this comment in the youtubeplayer thread, but it would be nice if eventually, the interface was improved to look more like the shhh....iPhone, but im sure it will improve anyways
tcmp/flashvideo best out there!
dont guess you would post the skyfire installer? the web site says the beta testing sign-up is over.
Thanks.
Skyfire requires you to register and asks for your mobile number. When you try it on 2 devices it tells you to deactivate Skyfire on your other device to use it on this one. Sorry or I would post it too.
Try this one, works for me.. also works for watching TV in full screen.

That cab does not install on my 6800. I copied it to my storage card and clicked on it - get an error message saying it did not install.

Skyfire remains as a locked beta and is not open to public use. Your bragging ain't helping one here in the now..
Try downloading vtap, it gets videos from tons of sites, and is easy to use. Its interface is similiar to that of the Iphone, and I have been using it alot, it works well.

youtubeplay is a very promising YouTube Player in development by milesmowbray located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385227
How bout youporn ? Anything play those???
The new beta youtube player is very basic but fast software. One another way it to search for youtube through orb and simply play any youetube video in any player of your choice.

Youtube app as default player

Youtube videos on the Hero open in the HTC flash player, which would be fine if it weren't for the crappy quality, choppy video and distorted colours. On my G1 I was able to open youtube videos in the Youtube application, which is of a considerably higher quality. Is there a way to do this on the Hero
Sorry if this question has been asked, I did a search both on the Forum and on Google but I was unable to come across an answer.
Thanks
I have the very same question. I've been searching the forum and the web without success so far. Anyone?
It is built into the Modaco ROMs. I'd suggest either installing one, or downloading one and seeing if you extract and install the APK.
Regards,
Dave
Which APK? The official ROM already has the youtube app, I just want it to be launched when I click on a youtube video within the browser...
Any other way without changing ROMs?
I'm still looking for a way to do it without switching ROMs, too. If anyone has any ideas please let us know
I would (also) like to know how/if it can be done.
Currently, when I need to play a link in the YouTube app, I copy/paste and load the page in the Steel browser. Steel will let me choose to either use the HTC Flash Player or the YouTube app.
I would have liked the HTC people to at least leave the option with the users...

Vimeo App - WinMob (request)

As Vimeo wil not work with any version of WinMob, I'd like to request an application that makes it possible to view Vimeo clips.
It is not possible to view Vimeo movies under WinMob because Vimeo requires Flash 9. all you can do is install Skyfire but I think its not as elegant as a nice app like the Youtube app.
Vimeo does not respond to my mail so I thought I might bring this up on this forum.
for ppl who don't know: this is what Vimeo is about.
http://vimeo.com/help/basics
In a nutshell, Vimeo has great video quality, and is more supportive to creative ppl than Youtube.
Im not even sure it is possible but I hope so, as it would be the last thing I would want in my feature list
Anyone knows if its even possible. im not a developer
I think skyfire is gonna be it buddy .
That would suck as it aint working flawless and the quality is plain bad.
Ah well, atleast it has been brought under attention
I can't seem to get it on Skyfire now either, it gives me an error 404. And I read that Hulu is blocking skyfire browsers too...

big problem w/video

I catn seem to view video on my Gtablet. I am running Bottle of smoke and have flash instatlled. should I put something on my ssettings? Does anyone n eed more info. I can only view you tube but nothing on facebook or nothing sent to me via email. Really want to see an email sent and I have to pull up my email on my phone or laptop. This kill the reason for having my tablet if I have to keep going back to my phone and laptop. PLEASE HELP> Will try anytthing but I need some advise.
BOS doesn't support flash in the stock browser (there is a workaround in the BOX OP over at slatedroid). For full flash support you could check out Flasback (honeycomb) or one of the many popular Froyo/Gingerbread based Roms.
I'm not very knowledgeable about the ROMs. I bought this tablet used and it already had BOS enstalled.
Is there anywhere I can find step by step instructions on how to change the ROM in order to get all my video access. Please advise. I am not real familiar but eager to learn.
Mobo Player in Market
From your post it is unclear to me if you're having issues watching Flash videos or with video files in general. If you are having trouble watching videos then I would suggest you download this free video app from the Market and the free codec pack and you should be able to watch any video on your gTab.
MoboPlayer
Codec for ARMV7VFP3
This site has the tutorials you'll need to change roms. http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/
For the best video performance go with something froyo based.

[Q] Chrome Browser ?

How do u get the plug in necessary to view certain pages with the chrome browser..also i cannot view videos on certain sites in addition any "featured " links in google when clicked shows errors.. sorry im a chrome noob any help is appreciated..
Edit: websites show puzzle piece and says no plug in available to display this content
Because it is in a beta version, it lacks certain features and functionality. As of right now, there is no flash support. Later, they will most likely add this feature, but if you need flash now, you will need to use a different browser. My personal favorite at the moment is Boat Browser which is free on the market.
I have no issue going to youtube and playing videos via chrome.
I have also played my own websites flash slideshow via chrome without issue.

this + i have played a couple flash games on chrome on my prime. of course it was slow and not meant for touch input, but it DID work
Flash does not work for me and I believe it is not supported by Chrome. Surprised anyone has gotten it to work.
