Re: [pyjs-users] Use of "pyjamas.media.Video.canPlayType" function

[Renaud Chénard]

Thanks a lot for your answer.

In fact, i discover that to make the `canPlayType' work, you have to call
it from the element.

Here is the way i use it :

<code>
        self.video = Video()
        self.format='mp4'
        vid = self.video.getElement()
        if hasattr(vid,'canPlayType'):
            if vid.canPlayType('video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E,
mp4a.40.2"')=="probably":# in 'probably maybe'.split():
                self.format='mp4'
            if vid.canPlayType('video/ogg; codecs="theora"')=="probably":#
in 'probably maybe'.split():
                self.format='ogv'
</code>
