multiple audio tracks in videojs player

[m...@berkeley.edu]

Hi,

Is anyone using ResourceSpace with video content that has multiple audio tracks? For example, a video with multiple language tracks, or separate tracks for different audio channel configurations (stereo/surround).

It seems like the VideoJS player does not natively support this, but there are plugins to enable it and allow users to select which audio track they would like to hear. Has anyone here successfully done so?

Thanks!

Never mind, it seems like a browser compatibility issue with HTML5 media. FWIW in Safari (and IE...?) the existing VideoJS player in ResourceSpace allows selection of multiple audio tracks. According to this chart, you can set Chrome's about:flags to enable Experimental Web Features (tested this, it works) and Firefox's about:config to set media.track.enabled to True (tried, didn't seem to work).

Hope this helps someone else!
