I've got a way to run tests across every browser and device out there except for IE8, and IE8 should work except I'm running into a Browserstack bug that I've let them know about.
It uses a project called bunyip, which internallt uses Yeti (YUI), Pagekite, and Browserstack.
Next steps include:
- Making it all automatic. Right now you have to wait for browsers to connect and then manually hit enter when they have.
- Make it a grunt task
- Document it all so others can use it
I think this is close enough for me to close the milestone 4.0 issue.
We use a div with a background image to simulate the poster image so that we can use a single poster implementation for flash and html. It may be desirable on some platforms to use the native poster image, however. On iPhones for instance, the simulated poster image covers up the native play button and can make it difficult to figure out where to touch to initiate playback. By keeping the poster attribute on the underlying video element, you can hide the simulated poster to get a native look-and-feel on that platform.
