There is no hack to use FLV on smartphones. Most likely tablets and smartphones (iOS and Android) will never support Flash. I think it is a good idea not to use flv unless you need DRM.

Basically my recomendation would be to build videos in mov and use HTML5 <video> tags, then do javascript hack for IE6-IE8 users that converts <video> tags to flash object and loads .mov. 

Thank you Jukka-Pekka

Is it possible to you can supply a link to such a script. Unfortunately I'm a noob there.

Best,

Hi Morten

I'm not sure you should serve .mov - try to have a look at this WIKI entry here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_video

Warren Buckley and Anders Burla have made a HTML5 video package for Umbraco, which you can find here: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/html5-video

For more information about using HTML5 Video element have a look at this tutorial: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/quick-tip-html-5-video-with-a-fallback-to-flash/

I should be everything you need - please notice you don't need to use the package provided by Warren and Anders but it makes the skinning of the player a bit easier it seems.

Hope this helps you.

Hi!

We had that problema a few months ago, we solved using this: http://videojs.com/

All of the video are in mp4 (it plays on ipad/iphone) and in flash.

You can what we did in here http://www.canalpanda.pt/panda-tv

I hope that this helps

Hi,

I would really recommend using JW Player http://www.longtailvideo.com/ (free for non-commercial or €59 for commercial) and using a single mp4 (base profile) movie as this will play on everything including iPads, iPhones etc...as it auto switches between Flash and HTML5 video.

You can see an example at http://www.greengraphics.co.uk/products/exhibition-and-display/eco-banner-stand/ (bottom of the page) This is combined with the Umbraco Universal Media Picker and Amazon Cloudfront provider for real streaming video for Flash clients, really is a dream combination! http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/universal-media-picker

Hi,

I thing it is tough to say which one is the better way to watch this.

But FLV is more beneficial to watch movie, because it's clearity is more enough than the MOV.

Thanks & Regards
