Mv_Embed in use for html5 videos

Today mv_embed, a javascript solution allowing the playing of html5 videos in non-compliant browsers was installed on the site. On browsers with javascript enabled, but that don’t support html5 videos, the script modifies the page, and can also load a java-applet based player, meaning that videos can be viewed on almost all platforms, no matter what browser or plugins are in use. The script is completely free, and is released under the GPL v2.

The only video so far on the site is one of a TI Calculator Emulator here. There probably will be more soon though.

Noteworthy is that the mv_embed script broke my wordpress theme’s (!) scripts. This turned out to be a jQuery problem, explained in a post here. Strangely enough editing the mv_embed script was not enough to fix the page, and the theme’s scripts had to be changed as well, but now everything works, so everyone’s happy :) .
