  1. POFlash Fallback Not Working with IE7 on Windows XP SP2
    text
    copied!<p>I've been testing a site using MediaElement.JS and have been very impressed thus far. I have tested the Flash fallback support on FF and Safari on Mac. I've also tested it on Windows 7 with IE9 and Google Chrome. Everything works and if the codec cannot load it uses the mp4 version of the video I have with the Flash player.</p> <p>However, upon testing it in IE7, the Flash player does not load. I do not even see any controls for the video and with right-clicking on the element I do not get the standard Flash settings menu. It does however have a black box where the element should appear (and it's not my styling).</p> <p>Here is my video element block with Flash fallback support:</p> <pre><code>&lt;video id="video-tag" width="640" height="360" poster="war-torn.png" controls="controls" preload="none"&gt; &lt;!-- MP4 for Safari, IE9, iPhone, iPad, Android, and Windows Phone 7 --&gt; &lt;source id="source-mp4" type="video/mp4" src="war-torn.mp4" /&gt; &lt;!-- WebM/VP8 for Firefox4, Opera, and Chrome --&gt; &lt;!-- Flash fallback for non-HTML5 browsers without JavaScript --&gt; &lt;object width="320" height="240" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="flashmediaelement.swf"&gt; &lt;param name="movie" value="flashmediaelement.swf" /&gt; &lt;param name="flashvars" value="controls=true&amp;poster=war-torn.png&amp;file=war-torn.mp4" /&gt; &lt;!-- Image as a last resort --&gt; &lt;img src="war-torn.png" width="320" height="240" title="No video playback capabilities" /&gt; &lt;/object&gt; &lt;/video&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am implementing MediaElement.JS further down in my page like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script src="../build/mediaelement-and-player.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script&gt; $("#video-tag").mediaelementplayer({ features: ['playpause','progress','current','volume'] }); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am not sure what is going on since if I remove the tag for WebM and FF uses the Flash fallback it works perfectly. If anyone has any insight, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!</p> <p>I receive this error message as well:</p> <blockquote> <p>'0.url' is null or not an object</p> <p>mediaelement-and-player.min.js</p> <p>Code: 0</p> <p>URI: <em>url to js file</em></p> <p>Line: 41</p> <p>Char: 4</p> </blockquote> <p>It does not work in IE7 compatibility mode either.</p>
