Hello,

I would like to hide the flowplayer when a non-flash supported device loads the page. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Brandon

Hello BDS1400,

currently this is not supported, you would have to put in some extra code. Here’s a jQuery library for detecting Flash which might help you: http://madhavvyas.blogspot.sk/2011/03/detect-flash-using-jquery.html

Other option could be to enable auto-buffering and then hide any player which throws in the Flash error using the JavaScript API, but I haven’t checked that.

That said, we will have a chat in our team and decide if we want this feature.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello again,

actually just enabling the auto-buffering makes sure that when you come to a page with a Flash-only video (like FLV or RTMP) it shows the incompatibility message right away – user doesn’t need to click play to find out the video won’t play.

Please let us know if that’s it. Otherwise we would have to add this feature. If you can buy our pro plugin support, we could accelerate development of this feature.

Thanks,
Martin
