[theora] Easy URL for wiph plugin retrieval
hello , I thought a direct retrieval URL for wiph plugins would ease the deployment for theora/vorbis only broadcasting websites. let me explain : - When my website launch a javascript player such as the Kaltura one. but the javascript cannot find a way to play the theora video because java is not installed (10% of my visitors, 30% of IE users) and thus no solution without installation is available; I would like to automatically propose to launch a browser to get the right plugin depending on their platform. So something like http://get.xiph.org which would detect the OS through Useragent and start the download of the right plugin : - either a DMG for mac ( need to package a .pkg installer ) - or the dschow on Windows - Linux either for old firefox don't have problems as they have native support it could be even enlarged in the future to show a message to mobile users explaining their platform don't have support for freecodecs To resume something a bit like : http://get.adobe.com/fr/flashplayer/ A guess some have already thought about this ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
