Flowplayer with HTML5 player fallback

**vdbucks** · 04-22-2014, 02:04 AM

By default Flowplayer uses the HTML5 video tag and falls back to Flash when HTML5 video is not supported. Alternatively Flowplayer can be configured to use Flash first and then fall back to HTML5 when Flash support is not present. The primary engine can be configured with the engine option or the data-engine attribute:
This will play intro.mp4 using the Flash engine if Flash is enabled in the browser:

Code:

<div class="flowplayer" data-engine="flash">
   <video>
      <source type="video/webm" src="http://mydomain.com/path/to/intro.webm">
      <source type="video/mp4"  src="http://mydomain.com/path/to/intro.mp4">
   </video>
</div>

I'm talking about the flowplayer flash version not the new one. http://flash.flowplayer.org

You can test it by enabling/disabling flash in your browser (in chrome open a new tab, type "about:plugins" (no quotes) then click "Disable" for "Adobe Flash Player).
