how to play flash(.flv) video using video.js in chrome


I am using video.js to play flash(.flv) video. But when I press play button it does not play video?
I have used the "techorder:"["flash","html"]. But it made no difference.
Is there any plugin to for flash video in videojs? How can I play .flv video in video.js?


Solution

  • video.js can play FLV in the Flash tech.

    If you're self-hosting video.js rather than using the CDN, make sure the path to your swf is correct, e.g.

    <script>
      videojs.options.flash.swf = "http://example.com/path/to/video-js.swf"
    </script>
    

    Make sure to use the correct video/x-flv mime type in the source tag:

    <source src="http://example.com/video.flv" type='video/x-flv'>
    

    The server hosting the FLV must also return the correct mime type in the 'Content-Type` header.
