making mode:shim?
mode:shim
I searched this site for a flash forcing method. the code developer wrote this answer to a question from someone who has the exact problem I am facing:
Make MediaElement.js force Chrome to use a flash player?
My observation is that modern browsers download the html5 component and then switch to flash, but it really confuses its actual behavior.
As you said, this will force the flash reserve. in the case of modern browsers, the initialization of the html5 video will be canceled by the backup flash.
// allows testing on HTML5, flash, silverlight // auto: attempts to detect what the browser can do // auto_plugin: prefer plugins and then attempt native HTML5 // native: forces HTML5 playback // shim: disallows HTML5, will attempt either Flash or Silverlight // none: forces fallback view
