Ability to force Flash fallback on video tags which can theoretically play the video about html5media HOT 3 CLOSED

We're kind of looking for something like this too... We want the 1st option to be flash/flowplayer and fallback to html5 playback when that's not available. One of the reasons is html5's lack of fullscreen video.

Edit: I was able to get this to work by doing this instead of calling html5media():

if (swfobject.hasFlashPlayerVersion("5")) {
    html5media.createFallback('video', $('#player_id')[0]);
}

That seems to force it to use flash (if it's detected).

from html5media.

There's now a callback for conditionally forcing the flash fallback in the trunk.

html5media.forceFallback = function(element) {
    return true;  // True means force the fallback, false means only use the fallback if required.
}

from html5media.

That API information is actually incorrect. The correct information can be found here:

from html5media.
