My streaming computer is set up with Chrome on Win 7. It works fine for most sites, using either HTML5 or Flash. I have the latest Chrome and Flash version installed. However, I am having a problem with a couple of sites that insist on using JW Player. With YouTube and other sites, I get either HTML5 or Flash content and it works fine. On the JW Player sites, HTML5 works but Flash does not. The problem is I cannot choose which to load first. If I have Flash enabled in my browser, the loading circle goes around forever and the video never starts. If I disable Flash, HTML5 loads and runs without problem.
I can’t leave Flash disabled because of all the sites I use that still depend on it. JW Player does not allow any client side settings so there is nothing I can do to change its defaults. The only solution is to have two browsers, one with Flash and the other HTML5 only. This is not particularly elegant. Does anyone have a better solution for this?
