Use a multimodal player

[yurj]

Hi!

Instead of FlowPlayer?, why not use the Alessio Cartocci Player?

See what it can do in the multimodal arena (the subtitles can be multilingual, the two videos are sincronized, so you get two ways to "listen": deaf-mute sign and subtitles, all supported by the player):

just moving this from sitting right up the top of the tracker, someone might want to catagorise it better however :)

I've tested the player and it works very well. Just create a little .smil file which describe how to compose text, video, audio. For example, you can upload the movie and the subtitle in multilanguage, and let the use choose the language for subtitles. Or you can put an mp3 and let the user choose the mp3 instead of the audio embedded in the video.

I have it as a zip file with a demo .html .smil, takes two minutes to have it working.

We've settled on flowplayer and html5 works but is not enabled out of the box. Other players can be configured by individual users.
