   Hi, I recently downloaded and installed your CMS to give it a look and maybe in the future use it for a sports website. The idea is to host videos on Youtube but see them within the page, keeping them categorized and such.

   The problem is no matter what videos I add, even if they use the HTML5 player when I see them in the YOutube page, when I add them onto the CMS, the website always uses the flash player, so if I enter the page from my Android tablet the videos don't show. But I've seen embeded videos on forums hosted on Youtube that use the HTML5 player, so I think that's doable.

   Is there any ways to make them use the Youtube HTML 5 player?

   Not without a code modification though I think it would be a nice addition. Basically you need to switch from a <object>-based embedding to the <iframe>-style embed code. More information can be found in various blog posts.

   Thanks a lot for your response, we got ZTE v9 that don't support flash, we've been using Youtube quite a long time and we'd like using it if we carry on with this proyect.

   I'm no Python programmer (mostly PHP or Rails is what I use the most), but for a quick look to the code, looks like the code to modify is the one in /mediacore/lib/players.py, I have to check if that's correct and if there's more to modify. But I think I'll give it a try.

   Very cool CMS guys, keep up the good work!
