http://apps.npr.org/oscars-2013/best-picture.html not seeing any video

Works for me.

What we found in testing was that Firefox uses the Flash version of the video player. If the user doesn't have Flash, there's no graceful fallback.

I can confirm that my flashblocker is stopping the video ... but I deserve it for running a flash blocker.

Is there JW Player support for showing some "install Flash" error or is that something we have to capture ourselves?

brianboyer commented 11 years ago

Meh. Firefox should use the HTML5 player, right? Esp if there's no flash installed? Makes me think our video tag is broken or should be adjusted

alykat commented 11 years ago

I don't think that Firefox supports mpeg/mp4 natively with the HTML5 player -- you'd need a more open-sourcey format.

jeremyjbowers commented 11 years ago

Yup, @alykat is right. And moot now, because we have to force flash anyway. Oddly: This makes the iPhone experience odd because the video "finishes" and activates the .onComplete() function, which sucks.
