  • Activated with the <showtime>Video.mp4</showtime> tag
  • Settings:
    • change the size
    • start the video immediately (autoplay)
    • play the video in a loop
  • Supported formats: mp4, ogv, ogg, flv and webm
  • It is possible to include multiple videos on one page
  • In IE and flv, the HTML5 player falls back to a Flash version (default in VideoJS)
