I just looked at the code generated by the html5 method. I didn’t realize that it included a fallback to Flash. This will work even better than what I was requesting. I apologize for becoming fixated on one particular method and not investigating the alternatives. I appreciate your time and guidance.

So what you are telling me is that the fallback option is only triggered when the script detects the presence of iOS rather than detecting the absence of the Flash plugin in general?

In that case, I suppose the plugin is doing what you intended it to, just not what I was hoping it would do.

Is there any chance that i can talk you into providing an option for the latter scenario?

That is good to know. However, this still leaves the problem of no default fallback for any browser with Flash disabled. Standard practice for embedded video is to fallback to HTML5 playback. It doesn’t appear that the [wp_lightbox_anchor_text_mp4_video] method does this. Can this method be modified to enable HTML5 fallback?

As I’ve mentioned, the main reason for purchasing your plugin was that it was the only one claiming MP4 comparability across all browsers while also playing inside of a lightbox.

Do you think there is any chance to get this working correctly? Thank you.

BTW, I encounter the same issue through your demo page.

Still no change.

I tested on a new Windows PC today to eliminate the caching variable. This time I tried IE, FF, and Chrome with the Shockwave/Flash plugin disabled and encountered the same result that I got with the Kindle Fire.

I’ve got my own code for embedding a SWF with a video object/HTML5 fallback. I was hoping to avoid creating an additional page for the video, hence the lightbox angle. If all else fails, I suppose I could test opening an iframe or inline HTML in the lightbox.

I’m still hoping this method can get sorted out. Thanks.

I just created a new page and inserted the shortcode for all browser MP4 compatability. http://tinynightmares.com/wordpress/video-lightbox/

Since it’s a new page, there would not be a caching issue. Before creating this page, I also deactivated and re-activated the plugin. Also, I know this is the new plugin as I had made some edits to PHP and CSS to change the look of the lightbox and overlay. Those files have been reverted to the default state.

I still receive the message “Flash version 9.0 or greater is required. You have no flash plugin installed”. In case it helps, I am receiving this error on Kindle Fire.

My reason for using your plugin was to ensure lightbox display of MP4 on iOS. I didn’t expect an issue with Android.

Would it be possible to, instead, default to HTML5 with a fallback to Flash?

I appreciate the help.

I have version 1.5.4 of WP Lightbox Ultimate installed and active but I’m still prompted to download Flash Player without any default fallback to HTML5. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Nevermind, I found it. I just needed to change the hex value in the html, html5, and flowplayer includes. I’d just assumed that I could override that parameter with css.

So, there you go. Just in case any novice coders, like me, run into the same issue.

My apologies for neglecting the link.

As you can see, I’ve altered the close button graphic and the color of the video border. What I can’t seem to find is the css for changing the color of the “exposeMask” div.

Thank you for your help.

[kidg21]

Thank you, sir!

I hadn’t noticed that I’d hit a “return” and broken the shortcode into 2 lines. I guess that I should take more frequent breaks from coding.

You just saved me hours of banging my head against my monitor. Once again, thank you.
