kney Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 This is how you use the new HTML5 tag <video>. But I want to know how to stream youtube videos through this tag. <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="nl"> <head><title>HTML5</title></head> <body> <video width="320" height="240" controls="controls"> <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg" /> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> </body> </html> If you change the source to the youtube URL it doesn't work This doesn't work <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="nl"> <head><title>HTML5</title></head> <body> <video width="320" height="240" controls="controls"> <source src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-p3atsZRPLc" /> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 The HTML5 <video> supports MP4, WebM, and Ogg video formats. I believe that youtube uses the FLV format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kney Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Youtube also has an HTML5 video player.. Does that still use the same format? http://www.youtube.com/html5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
