I haven't yet attempted to modify the built-in widgets, always rolled my own.

Has anyone else had tried to modify the widget template for the built in video widget to use an HTML5-fallback player rather than the built in Silverlight player. I would think that I could modify the allowed file extension in admin settings to .mp4, and then create a new widget template that used a custom video player to output the result.

Does that sound plausible? Any thoughts, warnings, tips?

Hi,

I have included a link to a blog post about how to do HTML5 instead of Silverlight.

Please let us know if you have anymore questions.

Kind regards,

The link was slightly broken. Here is the correct link:

Thanks. This will likely do what I need.
