Reference forum thread: https://forums.sketchup.com/t/ui-htmldialog-not-playing-mp4-video-ui-webdialog-does/83255

I am trying to play a MP4 video in HTML with UI::HtmlDialog using the HTML5 standard way to embed it:

<video width="1280" height="720" controls>
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

The video is not embedded properly, and I have to convert it to .ogg to make it work. This was working correctly with the deprecated UI::WebDialog, so I guess there is any problem either with the codecs or with the HTML5 usage.

yeh,

CEF in SU v18 loads an empty player for mp4’s…

drop the mp4 in the zip into Sketchup.temp_dir so that it’s relative to the [not yet created] html, and it won’t play…

add the .ogv and that will play…

anyone of you used ffmpeg2theora windows?

I used brew install ffmpeg2theora on the mac…

it’s very fast but drops the last few frames on this short clips…

dlg = UI::HtmlDialog.new(
	dialog_title:    'local mp4 or ogv?',
	preferences_key: 'com.local.mp4',
	scrollable:       true,
	resizable:        true,
	width:            800,
	height:           450,
	style:            UI::HtmlDialog::STYLE_WINDOW
)

  html = <<-HTML
	<!DOCTYPE html> 
	<html> 
	<body> 
	<video width="400" controls autoplay>
		<source src="pencil.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
		<source src="pencil.ogv" type="video/ogg" />
	</video>
	</body> 
	</html>
	HTML

  dlg.set_html(html)
  dlg.center
  dlg.show

Can we have a "wont fix" reason for the record?
