Luke 42077 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 As soon as Firefox supports it, then you'll have it.
riffy 32 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Posted June 14, 2019 Youtube has it now for firefox so... thought they did add support for it awhile ago.
Happy2Play 9780 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Looks like PiP will be in Firefox 68. https://www.ghacks.net/2019/04/22/firefox-68-picture-in-picture-mode-for-video/ 1
riffy 32 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Posted June 14, 2019 So will that work as soon as they do it, for the Emby web player?
Luke 42077 Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Youtube has it now for firefox so... thought they did add support for it awhile ago. They have it within their own website, which is not the same as the browser Pip features that actually move it out of the browser window.
Luke 42077 Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 So will that work as soon as they do it, for the Emby web player? In theory, but we won't know until it's available.
riffy 32 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Posted June 15, 2019 Ok. I kinda wondered how youtube was doing it. Thanks for the info you two. Less than a month away.... Seriously miss that from chrome. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
riffy 32 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Posted June 16, 2019 FYI: If you enable picture-in-picture on the latest beta.... does nothing in the Emby Web app. :-(
riffy 32 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Posted August 3, 2019 Any news on this? It's supported now, but not on by default. Works on everything but Emby from what I see.
Luke 42077 Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 I think it might be in 69 https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/07/testing-picture-in-picture-for-videos-in-firefox-69/
riffy 32 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Posted August 3, 2019 It's in the current build just not on by default. Works on everything but Emby. I can get the PiP blue tab to pop up if I skip around a video but otherwise it's not shown on Emby. Works great on every thing else tho. https://www.ghacks.net/2019/04/22/firefox-68-picture-in-picture-mode-for-video/
Luke 42077 Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Probably because when you right click you're not hitting the video element, you're hitting other elements on the page. That's not something i can easily change right now. The way we've supported Pip is by detecting support for the feature so that we can put our own button inside the video player. When firefox supports this api: https://googlechrome.github.io/samples/picture-in-picture/ Then it will work.
riffy 32 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Posted August 3, 2019 So... sounds like this isn't going to be changd any time soon. Or am I just being negative? OnTopReplica is my workaround currently to get a PiP view with Emby. For anyone else looking that doesn't use the all mighty Chrome. :-)
Luke 42077 Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 I can't rework the whole layout right now just because of this one thing. if the problem existed in all browsers supporting Pip that would be different.
Luke 42077 Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 I bet you they will support the full api by the time they release the feature without hiding it behind a config flag. The fact that they are currently doing that is an indication that it's not completed for the mass market anyway.
riffy 32 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Posted August 3, 2019 Hope you're right. Out of curiosity tho, what's the "all browsers" chrome, chromium and....?
Luke 42077 Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Any Chromium based browser and safari on ios/macos.
Luke 42077 Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Well Firefox still doesn't technically support it. Anytime something is hidden behind a config flag it means it's not ready yet, even if you think for your usage it works perfectly.
riffy 32 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Posted August 3, 2019 I understand. I was just hoping it was an easy fix. I'll continue to use a workaround or join the masses & let google control everything. :-p
Senna 368 Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Works on everything but Emby from what I see. No problems here in Firefox 69.0b10, playing Emby content PIP. Search for "media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture" in About:config and set below items to true. media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.enabled media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.always-show media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.enabled media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.flyout-enabled 4. is not necessary it seems, to get the PIP overlay button/flyout, but couldn't find a difference yet, in setting 4. to true or false.
riffy 32 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Using the current build of 68 not the beta 69. Have to enable them same flags in 68 too. I can only get the flyout to appear after moving the video position a couple times tho. Edited August 3, 2019 by riffy
riffy 32 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Got me wondering since it's working for you & disabled all the CSS styles. The blue flyout does apear with them disabled with out fiddling around with the position bar. Scratch that... still randomly disapears or never shows. It's really random. Edited August 3, 2019 by riffy
Senna 368 Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 Got me wondering since it's working for you PIP is still an experimental Firefox feature you know and I'm on 69beta channel, compared to you on 68 I noticed they disabled it at a stage in beta 69 branch and had to enable PIP back myself, so it seems it's still not ready.
