Week 7

Topics

Discussion of homework, term project, mid term

Monday

  • Recall of HTML5 video principles (week 6)
  • HTML5 Captions
    • Track languages: SRT, WebVTT, Timed Text, etc.
    • WebVTT (A video track language)
    • Using JavaScript libraries
LeanBackPlayer exercise
  • LeanBack Player
  • Download from here and unzip the library within a folder that you could name "project6".
  • Create the player code with the HTML5 Generator.
    • Tick most everything except autoplay and loop
    • You already can substitute the video file names (but you also can do that later). We suggest doing it now, e.g. use myvideo.mp4, myvideo.webm, etc.
    • Keep the browser tab open (you will need to copy/paste the code)
  • In the directory you just created, create a new HTML5 file using the template below:
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8"/> 
    <title>HTML 5 video</title>

    <!-- Insert the header code about here and kill this line -->

  </head>
    <body>

      <h1>Title that you should set </h1>
      <p>Intro that you should change ....</p>

   <!-- Insert the body code about here and kill this line -->


      <hr/>
      <a href="http://validator.w3.org/">W3C validator</a> 
    </body>
</html>
  • Test: If the video does not show then you likely:
    • must have put the JS and CSS libraries in some other place (not the same directory). Fix the URLs, look at your directory !
    • must have deleted some important line of code
    • must have have syntax errors: validate your code
    • Tip: Open the error console in your browser: In Firefox: Tools->Web Developer->Error console
