Embed code? RE: [islandora-bc] Video format for repositories ... Need your help
Elizabeth Padilla
Tangential question:
Is it possible to create an embed code for a video that resides in Islandora? Our instructors would like to be able to embed videos into our Learning Management System. Right now they are using Vimeo to store videos, and them embedding the videos into pages in the LMS so students can watch the videos on the LMS page.
Thanks!

I haven't had a chance to try Alex's suggestions, but I did notice that if you ingest an mp4, the smaller mp4 derivative that it generates plays just fine on Firefox. So there is something about the conversion from AVI to mp4 that's causing the problem.
Perhaps it is a codec thing. I'll try Alex's commands when I get a chance.

Hmmmm. The ffmpeg command used by the video solution pack upstream looks fine to me:
$command = "$ffmpeg_executable -i $archival_path -f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -preset medium -acodec $audio_codec -strict -2 -ab 128k -ac 2 -async 1 -movflags faststart $out_file";
Unless you somehow have a version of ffmpeg on that server that was compiled without libx264, but in that case it wouldn't be playing anywhere, not just Firefox, right? Unless ffmpeg is configured to fall back to a different encoder in non-libx264 builds when that option is passed to it, and Firefox's implementation of OpenH264 is picky about the fallback codec, whereas Chrome's full ffmpeg implementation can still render whatever you throw at it.
If you run $ ffmpeg on that server, do you see --enable-libx264 on list of supported codecs? If so, I'd recommend just switching to videoJS...
