How to use javascript player's fallback flash player

[Samuel_Sanchez]

I am trying to use the fallback player so that I can play streams via flash.
however, how do I change the url? or how do I pass in fallback ‘flash’ settings?

Hello @Samuel Sanchez

If you are using Wowza Player, the Flash fallback param is:
“useFlash”: true

e.g.

	<script type="text/javascript">
	WowzaPlayer.create('playerElement',
		{
		"license":"[wowza-player-license-key]",
		"title":"My Wowza Player Video",
		"description":"This is my Wowza Player Video description.",
		"sourceURL":"[your-url]",
		"autoPlay":false,
		"volume":"75",
		"mute":false,
		"loop":false,
		"audioOnly":false,
		"uiShowQuickRewind":true,
		"uiQuickRewindSeconds":"30"
		"useFlash":true,
                }
	);
	</script>

does it not use flash by default if it can’t? or is useFlash to force it to use flash?

[Jason_Tuchler]

It will not use flash if that param is not enabled.

I enabled it and it does not seem to work. Are there specific type of feeds that will not work?
I am using a smil file with HLS.

A SMIL with HLS should work as long as the browser has flash plugin installed and enabled. Is there a reason you need to use Flash as it’s meant to be a fallback if the Javascript player can’t be loaded.
