Here is html5video embedded in an iframe:

Updated with a video available in mp4 format to make it work in iOS/Safari/Chrome.

Just add:

src[]=http://example.com/video.mp4&src[]=http://example.com/video.webm&

to the following and it should work everywhere with flash fallback.

technic_observations: Demo: HTML5 Video + Tumblr

A simple video I made with an Olympus mini-camera and one (1) “Whirly Wheel.” The video master was recorded in QVGA (320×240), naturally grainy due…

You can call up an iframe with Kaltura’s html5video library like so:

iFrames make it easy to use the embed video post type so the video will show up in the dashboard.

We e-mailed Tumblr staff asking for official comment on the Missing e situation. Within five minutes, this is what we got back.

shortformblog:

Hi Ernie,

Thank you for sharing your concerns about the Missing E browser extension.

We encourage a thriving ecosystem of applications that work with Tumblr. But, we must also ensure those applications don’t compromise the stability of Tumblr, the security of Tumblr data, or the safety and privacy of Tumblr users.

When we have concerns about an application, Tumblr contacts the application developer and asks them to address our concerns or to stop distribution of their application. That is what is happening in this case. We regret any inconvenience this may cause.

Again, thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us.

Thanks so much,

Renee

It’s a bit generic, but it’s a response. (If you need to catch up to the story, click the link above.) What do you guys think?

It sounds like missing-e is making a large number of api requests, and that is affecting tumblr stability.
