LinearFallback (or Fall-Forward) from Flash to HTML5 doesn't work (Projekktor Core)
Hi everybody,
we got this problem here with the 'platformPriority' flag.
Situation is:
We need the default behaviour for Projekktor to use Flash if available, and native HTML5 video only if Flash is not available (e.g. for iPad).
Documentation says to put platformPriority: ['flash', 'native'] to achieve that, but it doesn't work for us. Flash playback works fine, but if Flash is not available (for example on iPad or flash plugin disabled) we only get an error message saying "You need to have Flash Version 9 installed for this."
We fixed it with a JavaScript workaround checking for flash and setting platformPriority accordingly, but we'd prefer to have it done inside Projekktor.
I couldn't find anything about this problem in the Docs or in the forum.
Does anyone have the same problem? Or a solution? Or is it a bug in Projekktor itself? Then I'd like to send a bug report ;-)
Thanks for any help

Hi Mariusz,
in theory your setup should work. So this heavily smells like a bug. I presume that your videos are provided as h.246 / mp4 and not as FLV, right?

Hi Sascha,
exactly, we're using H.264 videos. I guess FLV wouldn't play on iPad anyway, but I didn't test it with FLV.
If you need any more information, feel free to ask ;-)
Thanks for helping!
