![]() As I understand it the Vid Player is embedded in the Browser and not in the web page supplying the Vid content? If that's the case I need a Video player for the Opera Browser? So surely that should be easy. it will be a fruitful area for malicious actors to try to fool users unfamiliar with the real situation to download malware/viruses in the guise of a 'special' Flash version, and is why Adobe Flash is going to such lengths to inform users that Flash will truly be dead after mid-January 2021.īlackbird71 last edited by said in Browser Video Player: ![]() In any case, be extremely careful of any message that pops up telling you to download a "special Flash player" after the end of 2020. Because a few sites use proprietary codecs involving royalty payments, not all browsers will choose to pay the fees to cause such sites to work. When the time occurs that the videos on certain sites fail to work, you will need to contact the browser-maker forums (and/or the website's support) to figure out the best solution for a particular browser. Windows natively supplies a number of codecs, some browsers inherently supply others, and a wide variety of still others can be downloaded for free from various reputable places. If a site instead uses special video codecs (code that unpacks the video stream on the user system) for their particular video streaming technology, some provision or direction for obtaining those codecs will have to be made by the sites. ![]() Most browsers already work for HTML5 video, so that transition should be smooth for websites converting to it. ![]() Web sites that still use Flash will either have to switch to another form of video (probably HTML5), or will cease to work for any users that have kept their Flash versions updated (and which now contain the kill code). the official end-of-life date for Flash is 12 January 2021, after which the video player will cease to work (the last several versions intentionally contain 'kill code' that will activate on that date).
