I've decided to go with "embed" instead of "iframe" (no more fighting over where the page opens!
). HTML5 is much simpler:
video id="sampleMovie" src="WeatherCatDailyMovie.mov" width="800px" controls></video>
The width doesn't even need to be set unless you want less than full size. You don't really need the "id" if you don't specifically link to it. But the video formats supported by HTML5 are still in Alas, there are still many using older Exploder versions. Maybe with Windows 10 being released for free, there will be more upgrades?
"Simple" is a a subjective term, of course, but I found a site that will do all the heavy lifting if you'll provide some minimal info (that you'll have to have, no matter what method you might use). I've included a link to the site (which doesn't appear to be in development-if it works, don't fix it!) under my video.
One thing I like over the HTML5 method is that the controls do not obscure the movie at all. They
are smaller, but the whole vertical size of the video is visible, even with the controls visible.
My next project is to get any NWS/NOAA weather warnings/advisories at the top of each page. Right now, there's just a 'placeholder' for that info. I think the Leuven dev has a stand-alone script for doing this.
BTW, the in-progress site is at: <
