what does /g/ think of html5 video? is it the future or is it

>>56407352
Well it's sure better than flash video.

>>56407352
Video players are for playing videos.

>>56407352
The future? It's already the present.

Who flash player 10 master race ITT?

Holy shit, have you been sleeping for the past 3 years? Its not the future, html5 video is pretty much the present.

it's called loading pages on demand and pretty standard to save battery/cpu when you've got a gazillion tabs open

it is the present and it's good

yeah i get it, very unhelpful posts guys.

Its great cause you can easily control speed with this:

if you're listening to a podcast you can play @ 2.5x.
For normal videos, play at increased speed and reset the speed when it gets interesting.
Yesterday I watched 3 hours of a twitch poker VOD in less than half that time. (using tampermonkey to force the twitch html5 player)

thanks for the link

Html5 video sucks because I can't block it like I can flash

>>56407352
it makes it easier to find the mp4/webm source files, I like how raw it is compared to often locked down flash players.

>>56407449
It'll load in the background when you actually have seen the tab once. At least, it does for me.

Anything that helps kill flash is good.

>browsers have native players
>sites use their own bloated and often broken players instead

When i realized videos opened in new tabs didnt play until you viewed them i was HAPPY. there are dozens of addons dedicated to stopping automatic playback on youtube videos because that shit is annoying, now its like that by default. When i open a vid in a new tab i'm usually not ready to watch it immediately.

good goy, drink that fluoride.

>>56407352
after it was pushed on youtube i tried it out for some time
it was still annoying as fuck like flash so i just went back to watching stuff in mpv

>>56407352
I have installed flash on none of my computers and I can play video on almost every website

>>56407352
The future? It's already the present.

Browsers aren't meant to play video. If I can't watch video in a separate player, it's not worth watching.

It's pretty bad

HTML5 video used to embed mpeg4 or webm. It's not an actual format.

that DASH/HLS delay though, it sucks for livestreaming

How does YouTube disable the "save video as" option on their HTML5 player?

>>56409648
by providing you with a proprietary player that doesn´t have that option

>>56409648
It doesn't, it just replaces the default context menu with a custom one.
