Description

Here's a POST that will provide additional information about YouTube's experimental HTML5 Player with flash fallback.

http://shadowbox.1309102.n2.nabble.com/Youtube-EMBED-iframe-markup-inside-Shadowbox-tp7548488.html

In the YouTube Demo Example, a reference to the above forum POST or similar information would inform Shadowbox v4 users of the current conditions since the Video ID in that example (i.e., Tron) automatically falls back to flash since HTML5 video is not available for that particular Video ID until YouTube re-processes that item.

As of this writing, flash fallback is broken but YouTube should fix that soon.
