Fair point, yes that will fallback to the flash player.

But if you care about mobile devices, why are you doing .flv?

(I do see what you're getting at ;-) )

That loads through flash though - which is problematic for mobile devices.

I am 99% sure that if you were to put a .mp4 of video.flv at :

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/USER-FILES/10274-cczjrt-Nottingham/media/

i.e.

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/USER-FILES/10274-cczjrt-Nottingham/media/video.mp4


then the .mp4 will be played through the js etc.


This isn't (as far as I can tell) new behaviour.
