Video quality issues with MediaElement.JS and Flash

Question

Is there any configuration option for MediaElement.JS to control video quality when using the SWF player? When running the Video from VLC it looks just fine, but when I open it in the browser the quality is worse.. something like when no anti aliasing is applied (see image below).

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Answering my own question: I found out that the correct term in this case is "smoothing", instead of "anti aliasing". Also, MediaElement.js has an option for that called enablePluginSmoothing which is set to false by default. It was necessary to read the source code to discover this option, as it is not (yet) documented.

So, just set enablePluginSmoothing to true when creating the component, and video playback quality should be better.
