html5 video and captions/subtitles

[Justin Obara]

Hi Aaron,

We actually got started on an html 5 video player that would also show captions.

It's currently in the incubator.
http://source.fluidproject.org/svn/incubator/videoPlayer/

Unfortunately at the moment it has fallen a little out of date with our main code line. We recently upgraded our jquery, and those changes haven't propagated into the video player code yet.  It shouldn't take much work to get it back up and running though, and I may have time later to look at doing that. 

We do have plans to move the video player to production status. Although we don't yet have a firm date for when this will occur, I would anticipate you'll start seeing work progress on it in the next few releases or so.

Thanks
Justin
