I am currently working on a site which needs to contain a videoplayer, but they only have MP4 videos. Considering Firefox doesn’t support MP4, I need native (where possible) and flash support.
I force fallback to flash in Firefox using this piece of code:
if (_V_.isFF()) {
_V_.options.techOrder = ["flash"];
}
This does happen, and if I set the above through the console in chrome I do get a flash fallback. Thing is, when I use Firefox I don’t see any object tag, just a black square (and a video-tag in the source). Even on videojs.com itself there is no object tag but a video-tag?! (edit; clarification: i do click on the “flash”-button there.)
I’m a bit puzzled by this. Anyone else experiencing this/know what may be the cause?
Considering there are dozens of videos, using webm (sadly) isn’t an option. Also, videojs wasn’t found to be fluid on android devices. Because of this, we’ve decided to just link to the video (with a poster image) and play the video natively on androids.
