Hej,

I've just created a small module to show and play Ogg Theora and Ogg Vorbis files with the html 5 video/audio tags.
Maybe someone is interested in.
I'm sure you can improve this a lot, but it works quite well.

Known issue so far:

- Firefox 3.5 can't preload the files as they are played within the Gallery. Maybe someone can help me with this issue?

Thanks so far,

Marco

Currently I have all my videos in the gallery2 in mpeg4 format. How can I convert all of them automatically into theora, so I can take advantage of HTML 5 playback?

Looks very interesting. Have you done any further development?

I'm not sure how this is supposed to work. I have installed it and activated it but after uploading a ogg/theora video I cannot view it in Gallery nor were any thumbnail done. If I click it in the gallery I only get a page with the filename and a link to "Download file" which my browser just downloads if I click it.

Edit: One tip, don't have the files chmod 777. This means ALL users on a system are able to edit/delete these files. Directories should usually be 755 and files 644.

In Gallery2 each plugin gets a link (the little info-icon). If I press it I reach the non-existent http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:oggplay. Suitable place for info about it :)

Hello , I 'm really interested in theora video support in Gallery.

Will it work on 2.3 ?

Do you consider using Itheora ?

There is a ticket for gallery 3.0 to support vorbis and theora natively here:

I know, it's long time ago, but I had the same problem:

To get it work I had to add a new MIME type "video/ogg" with the MIME extension. After that, it worked fine.
