Upgraded HTML5 Video Player 12/29/2010
We've just upgraded the Weebly video player to now support fallback to HTML5 video on systems that don't support Flash. In practice, this means that the videos now work on mobile phones and on the iPad! As you can see from the sample video above, the upgraded video player also features a small design facelift. It's our small way of saying "Thanks" to Weebly Pro users for your support! We thrive on your continued feedback to let us know what we're doing right, what we could be doing better, and what new features we should build next. From the entire Weebly team, we hope you have a very happy New Years and prosperous 2011! Comments12/29/2010 12:29pm
Good! Well done, I was hoping HTML5 would soon be supported!

Thank you for your continuous upgrades and improvements. May I suggest the ability to add a playlist or thumbnail option similar to the slideshow options.

I´d like to suggest (again, 4th time) a little flag on every page which allows for language changing! Surely this is a feature which is not impossible to integrate???

What a great way to start the year! You guys continue to impress me! Thanks Weebly!

@Weebly user - Instead of the flag icon, could you embed Google Translate into your page? Here's the link to the code: http://translate.google.com/translate_tools

Thanks Weeble people!! If I had one suggestion, then it would be compatibility with iTunes. The CDs I have on iTunes won't upload on the audio. Only the MP3s that I have purchased. It's been a GREAT Weebly 2010! I'm looking forward to 2011. Thank you all so much!!

I'm a pro user and the weebly video tool is really important because the youtube embedding does not always work and sometimes youtube vids are removed. So yeah, I'm glad weebly is concentrating on improving that tool.

Is it possible to put a flash facility into the header banner of the site templates. I feel this would be of great use to all.

Looks great on the iPhone. Didn't work on my friend's Nokia E5 smartphone, but I use the Apple iPhone, so Nyaaah! Weebly is the Rolls Royce of Web Design Features. Take a bow, Weebly!

Nice to have a video player that works on cell phones. Not sure why the typical OS on an Android Featured Cell is limited to the type video files you can play. Bum's me out to have to wait to get next to my laptop or PC

Hey this is kind of random, but could you (in the fun section) upgrade the Desktop Tower Defense to the Pro version? Just asking...

Weebly is awesome, I have a couple videos on my Youtube Channel and on my website. The bad thing is that they are in Spanish.

Can I ask you to site management and editing BLOG front desk to get it? Because every time an article should visit the website can edit the background, so a lot of trouble ah! Do not know if to an article in the foreground can log in without the background ah!

I think the new player looks just fine. Good job. What's with all the shameless marketing on these blog responses?

Hello! Siting through the use of your system, I found that the worst is the forum, even the search engines are reluctant to include, and the content is often hidden and disappear, very unstable! I hope you changed it to this forum! Do not ruin your reputation!

With new Pro stuff coming out regularly and different "Today's Featured Sites", I have more faith that Weebly is in it "for the long haul"! Treat yourself and go Pro with Weebly.

The changes have been great. I went through Youtube when I started posting my videos on your site, simply for that reason (you couldn't view them on mobile phones). Thanks for making this adjustment.

I'm noticing that this looks like you're using Weebly Blog feature for your own blog here. That is great.

Do you really think it's going to replace Flash? I mean, there are still a lot of people who use IE6, despite Microsoft's best efforts to get rid of it.

I'm lovin' Weebly so I had to try out a site and see how it does on a Blackberry mobile. I found that you're videos dont default back to anything that will open a Blackberry player.. So I did a work around via Youtube on my free Weebly website via a hyperlink just below the embedded video.
