Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
I found the flash fallback is not working. I have only one video file, an MP4 file. It played on IE, Chrome, and Safari, but not on Firefox. I replaced the MP4 file with a FLV file and it played on all four browsers, including Firefox. I checked the following suggestion at videojs.com to add another line after the video end tag. I did not see such a line after the video end tag in the videojs.tpl.php module. Would this be causing it or am I doing something wrong?

Comment #1
ngwong CreditAttribution: ngwong commentedI forgot to mention that I also tried having both an MP4 and FLV file loaded with the same name. When FLV is higher prioity, it played on all four browsers. But when MP4 is higher priority, it does not work on Firefox.

Comment #3
ngwong CreditAttribution: ngwong commentedI am on localhost right now. Here are pictures of my setup. Problem with Firefox is that it only plays the audo and not show any video with MP4.
Comment #4
Jorrit CreditAttribution: Jorrit commentedIs it possible to post the MP4 file somewhere so I can download it and test it? What version of Firefox are you using?
Comment #5
michael.k CreditAttribution: michael.k commentedmp4 is not yet supported in Firefox. This is a prime example of why it's important to transcode into multiple codecs.
Open this page in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc:

Jorrit CreditAttribution: Jorrit commentedMP4 should play in Firefox using the Flash fallback method.
Comment #7
paulap CreditAttribution: paulap commentedAs i understand the Flash fallback method is exactly for this situation that a browser can't play the video with HTML5 implementation.
This is a problem with the player itself?

ngwong CreditAttribution: ngwong commentedJorrit,
Thanks for continuing to look at this issue. I just tried Firefox 11 and the flash fallback still does not work. I do not have a site where you can download the file. However, based your wanting to look at the file, I suspect I may be using an incorrect profile for the MP4 production. I will try other profiles to see what happens.
Comment #9
ngwong CreditAttribution: ngwong commentedI tried a MP4 IPOD/IPAD profile and it does not work either.
Comment #10
ngwong CreditAttribution: ngwong commentedSeeing that Mozilla just a few hours ago has thrown in the towel to support H.264, having flash fallback has just became a non-issue.

Jorrit CreditAttribution: Jorrit commentedI don't know what to do with this issue. I need access to the page that has the described problem to be able to find the source of the problem. If you can't provide that, I can't solve this problem.

ngwong CreditAttribution: ngwong commentedJorrit,
I put the file at ftp://ftp.compostcomfort.com for you to look at.
Comment #13
Jorrit CreditAttribution: Jorrit commentedThe MP4 that I downloaded from your FTP is not entirely conforming to what browsers and flash expect:
A file that is OK looks like the following:
I recommend you transcode the video.
Comment #14
ngwong CreditAttribution: ngwong commentedJorrit,
Thank you. I did not know there were such differences. I will transcode the video and let you know what happens.

Comment #15
ngwong CreditAttribution: ngwong commentedI transcoded the video. It is not quite the format you have, but the video works on Firefox now. I confirmed that Flash took over by disabing Flash. When Flash is disabled, the video would not work. However, it does not work on Opera for some reason even though Flash was enabled. At least IE, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari are covered. Thank you.

how do you encode like that using the video presets?
