Issue using vimeo player in FF and IE - Loads flash player instead of using HTML5 player

I'm trying to dynamically load a vimeo video in my app using their javascript Player API (https://developer.vimeo.com/player/js-api)

I've already loaded the froogaloop API js file, but when I add the player Iframe which I generated to the page and pass it to the API ($f($playeriframe))the flash player is loaded instead.

This only happens in IE and Firefox, in Chrome it works as it should.

For some reason as soon as I append the $playeriframe object to my page in FF and IE it is rendered and loads the flash player. In chrome the player only loads after the current batch of operations.

Solution

  • It sounds like you are missing the "allowfullscreen" attributes on the <iframe>. Make sure those are there and you should see the HTML player load in IE and Firefox.
