VideoJs and Video Module compatibility [#992902]

Is there a way to expose the VideoJs player to to the Video Module? I really prefer the VideoJs player over the standard HTML5 player, but I need my users to have the flexibility of uploading content in any format and then having it converted to .mp4 by the Video Module. It would be amazing to integrate the 2 modules so that I could choose VideoJs as the player for user's newly displayed .mp4 videos as opposed to being locked into the base HTML5 player.

Thanks for responding to my post Heshan, I know you're a busy man.

True, the Video module does already have an HTML5 player, however its not the slick VideoJS player. Unless I am mistaken, the video module utilizes the out-of-the-box HTML5 player provided by individual web browsers, resulting in varying looks and performance depending on the browser being used. I've found these browser-generated players lack not only personality, but a full screen mode as well, which is an essential component of my site. I like the videoJS player because it is so customizable and offers features not found in the generic HTML5 viewers.

It would be great to be able to integrate videoJS into the video module, much like you can currently integrate swftools.

Of course, I am not sure what is involved in this, so I apologize if I'm requesting a lot, I guess its just a case of trying to have my cake and eat it too.

Thank you!

This is a feature I'd love to see as well.

The Video module seems perfect for automated transcoding of videos. The VideoJS module seems perfect for playing videos in a consistent, cross-browser way.

Using the default HTML5 player won't be a good solution for many people, so I'm reopening this issue for further discussion.
