The JW Player for HTML5 is a fully skinnable and configurable player based on the new <video> tag found in HTML5. It is built using javascript (jQuery) and enables a seamless fallback to the popular JW Player for Flash. Currently, our HTML5 player is in Beta. Certain functionalities that we consider essential are missing in this Beta version, and will be included in the 1.0 release.

Currently, the HTML5 player is in beta. Certain functionality that we consider essential are missing in this beta version, but will be included in the 1.0 release. The JW Player for HTML5 follows a general MVC architecture.

Considering the player falls back to Flash, the formats supported are also the ones that can be played by Flash:

* H264 baseline video / AAC low-complexity audio in the MP4 or MOV container
* Theora video / Vorbis audio in the OGG container
* VP6 video / MP3 audio in the FLV container
* Spark (H263) video / MP3 audio in the FLV container
