Embed video and audio on your website using shortcodes. The plugin enables HTML5 native playback for users with compatible browsers while offering an elegant degradation to other users through very lightweight Flash players. For HTML5 playback, it auto-detects and offers different alternatives, or degrades to Flash, and (failing even that) to download.
The plugin will make sure this does the following:
If the user has an HTML5 support for video and audio, it will play the media natively in an appropriate format.
Otherwise, if the user has Flash, it will play the media in lightweight Flash players.
Otherwise, there will be a link for the audio or video files so that the user can still play them using their installed software players.
The plugin also allows you to provide only one version of the file (and force Firefox to fallback on Flash).
Refer to the Instructions section below on how to use the plugin.
Codecs and browsers: The current situation with HTML5 is not ideal. For video, you should supply two formats to support all browsers. (But if you do not mind forcing Firefox to fall back to Flash, you can provide H.264 version only.) See the tables below to see what file will be played based on the support in the current browsers..
