flowplayer isn't chosen when chrome doesn't support a format about html5media HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi,

I'm afraid that your HTML example isn't working, since that file doesn't seem to exist.

Regardless, html5media works by asking the browser if it's capable of playing the file, and if the browser says no, it pulls in the flash fallback. If the browser says that it's capable of playing the file, but isn't, then that's a problem.

You can get around this problem by using the html5media API to force the flash fallback for your problem browser:

Hi,
Thanks for the kind answer and suggestions. BTW: I purposely altered the
HTML URL because it accesses a restricted site.
I will look into your work-around.
