Hi,

In order to play video on devices such as ipad/iphone and Android - from what i've read in this forum - one needs to use the advanced section of the plugin parameters in the back end of the player. The only thing is, i can't see any advanced part of the plugin parameters in my jw videos module installation. I'm using the free version of JW player - is this why?


Also, i'd like to know whether one can use more than one video format for a single video to ensure that the video plays on virtually all device. I have seen another player where you need to have ogg, webm, mp4 all for one video so that it plays on most devices.

Hello,

1 - HTML5 is support only wot the advanced version of our module or plugin.

2 - mp4 is enough to be cross platform as JW player first use flash if available (most of browser/devices) then if is not available it use native devices codec (iOS/android ) or those two devices support mp4 natively.

see how the algorithm works :
