While creating a demo for a new client I found that the Flow plugin will not display the title or description from the playlist.xml file when I set the first mode type to html5:
... modes: [
{type: 'html5'},
{type: 'flash', src: 'jwplayer/player.swf'},
{type: 'download'}
], ... I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and have verified this via Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.
I have created two example pages that can be viewed at http://166.70.126.11/jwp-flow-demo/flash.html and http://166.70.126.11/jwp-flow-demo/html5.html. The only difference is the ordering of the mode types in the setup script. In order to make my examples as close to the example on the Flow plugin page, I used copies of the thumbnails and the playlist.xml file. Each video points to a unique copy of the video.mp4 that was included in the installation files.
Thanks for looking into this!
@Mark, I got in touch with the developer of Flow, Wesley. His recommendation is:
The configuration parameter "showtext" is a boolean, not a string...
'showtext': 'true',
should be
'showtext': true,
Best,
