Tejas – Premium HTML5 Video Player (Media)

Tejas is a powerful and elegant solution for embedding video content on your websites using the HTML5 element through a browser neutral custom UI.

Quick Preview: http://screenr.com/dGr

Tejas is built on jQuery and utilizes the very powerful ThemeRoller system for rendering its user interface. This means that changing the color scheme or images is as simple as just going to the ThemeRoller site and using the friendly GUI to change whatever you need. If you want to delve even deeper, it provides more options and flexibility so that you can create an UI you want without touching the plugin.

Browser Support

Tejas works on most major, modern browsers including:

  • Firefox 3.6+
  • Chrome 4+
  • Opera 10.5+
  • Internet Explorer 7+ [w/ fallback]

Additionally, there is preliminary support for all iOS devices including iPad, iPhone and iTouch. But I couldn’t get it working 100% of the time so please wait for an update in a week or so while I fix it. If you’re getting this primarily for those devices, please do take a note that as of 1.0 I can’t guarantee full compatibility.

  • No browser plugins needed
  • Intuitive default UI
  • Spiffy seek bar

Support

I’ve tested this as much as I could but with the sheer number of variables at play here, something may break sometime. In those cases, please just send me an email [[email protected]] with details as to what broke and I’ll have a fix for it ASAP .

Known Bugs

These are more along the lines of browser inconsistencies than actual bugs but here they are:

  • Seeking maybe a little funny at times. As browsers implement this feature better, I’ll keep updating this to better reflect those changes. Same applies for showing how much of the video has been buffered.

Thanks for looking at this item. Cheers, gents!
