jVideoPlayer ist a jQuery-Plugin, to play videos in the "HTML5-Videoplayer". The advantage compared with the default player is the greater functionality,and uniform appearance on the different web browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera). Dabei verwendet jVideoplayer jQueryUI, so that the player is well integrated into the whole layout of the site.
Furthermore jVideoplayer provides the ability to loop videos, what can be defined, normally on the loop-property, but in Firefox (3.6.x) does not work.

In the current version. jVideoPlayer offers the standard features several additional functions (see Configuration). These will be expanded with the later versions.

With the help of the "Themeroller" (only works in Firefox (further information can refer to http://www.jqueryui.com)) the appearance of the player can be changed. The skin needs to be downloaded on the pages of jQueryUI (To edit and store an Theme, take a look to the jQueryUI-Themegallery - Website).

To use jVideoPlayer, the corresponding jQueryUI components must be downloaded (at least: slider and progressbar) from the jQueryUI-Homepage: http://www.jqueryui.com
