Question to Josh, Andreas and others on the importance of specifying
the mime type.
Anreas, I notice in your video-link.js code that you require the mime
type to be "video", but then determine the video type based on file
extension. So the mime type is just evaluated as a gate, but not
used. Since I'm trying to make the user coding of vPIP as easy as
possible, I'm wondering if type="{mime type]" is necessary? I'm
supporting three major media types (and I've listed their correspondig
mime types to the extensions I support in this release):
quicktime: (mov) video/quicktime, (mp4) video/mp4, (m4v)
video/x-m4v, (mp3) audio/x-mp3
windows media: (avi) video/x-msvideo, (wmv) video/x-ms-wmv, (asf)
video/x-ms-asf, (wma) audio/x-ms-wma
flash: (swf) application/x-shockwave-flash
It's unlikely most users will remember or even look up the correct
mime type. Is there any reason to not make type="{mime type]" optional?
