This allows you to define a different element to append children to as opposed to the main component element. Because sometimes components require more than one element to create their structure. e.g. a menu button.
It looks like the newer version of grunt-cli has changed how options objects are forwarded to tasks. The minify (Google closure compiler) task was looking for configuration in the wrong location and the new location no longer automatically expanded path wildcard patterns.
Prime the video element for programmatic access by quickly playing and pausing when entering fullscreen. Only attempt this if the video is paused and no content has been loaded yet. Do so in a setTimeout of 0 because iOS 6.1 devices go into a loop of continuously pausing and playing if you play and pause synchronously while attempting to enter fullscreen. Don't fire `fullscreenchange` if we're forced to use the video elements fullscreen mode because we don't properly detect when exiting fullscreen and it leaves the player stretched out to fill the entire browser window when the user returns from watching.
The MediaTechController calls createEl during its initialization to construct the actual video element used for playback. On iOS, the video element must be recreated during this process so that it doesn't become unresponsive. Make sure that we determine whether recreating the video elemen is necessary before calling the superclass constructor.
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.
When transferring the poster attribute from the container to the tech in mediafaker, use the accessor methods instead of directly referencing the private properties.
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.
