Include option to switch between html5 and flash players

[mdale]

we should include a option to easily switch between html5 and flash players.

What do you mean? I didn't understand the issue.
Which player to load is defined in the uiConf by uiVars
Do you want that the embed code generator will add:
mw.setConfig('forceHTML5', true);

[mdale]

yes the option to force HTML5 from the interface maybe above the iframe. ( not the normal ?forceMobileHTML5 does not work because the embed code is in an iframe

[ranyefet]

But what is the use case?

[mdale]

To be able to easily preview the html5 player without having to change your user agent? ... I think it would be worth while to put into the kmc preview and embed in some future cycle as well. As long as the ui is clear that your just previewing the other player not setting any property on the player it self.

@ranyefet - @mdale is submitting a feature request not reporting a bug :)
I agree, we should certainly add a button that switches between html5 and flash preview, especially in the KMC Preview & Embed window, I find myself frequently loading the preview link and adding ?forceMobileHTML5 to the url just to see HTML5 preview.

I see the use case but I don't think it should be part of the EmbedCodeGenerator.
What I'm suggesting is that we will add the ability to "leadWithHTML5" using flash var.
And that will solve the problem in the most elegant way.

Sure.. it should be part of the "demo"
  or "preview and embed" invocation, not the embedCodeGenerator
  itself. We just want to expose the option to "preview" the html5
  player. Which is different from having your embed code lead with
  html5.
