First of all, great plugin!
One issue that some of my users have is that when they use my site from an iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch, they cannot view the video because they are in flash. The solution to this is to show the video using HTML5 video tags. However, flash is still the better solution for most computers. So, what I'm working on is a way to show the JW flash player on systems that have flash, and show the HTML5 player on systems that do not have flash.
<object id="FlashID3" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="{$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pwidth']}" height="{$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pheight']}" data="$player">
<param name="movie" value="$player" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="exactfit" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
<!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don't want users to see the prompt. -->
<!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="$player" width="{$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pwidth']}" height="{$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pheight']}">
<!--<![endif]-->
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="scale" value="exactfit" />
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
<!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. -->
<div>
<video
src="$file"
height="{$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pheight']}"
poster=$thumb
controls="controls"
width="{$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pwidth']}">
</video>
</div>
<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>
EOT;
It almost works (the HTML5 player shows the thumbnail image, but no video). Right now I'm trying to solve the issue of no video (as in determining which variable to use for the "src"). If anyone has any idea, let me know.
