Universal Media Server | Forum

All of the PCs at work use Explorer 11 and won't play files from UMS in HTML5 format. They will play if you click the 'Flash' button at the bottom of the player.

There is an option in the UMS config file that I assume should force the player to default to play in flash rather than html5 but setting the value to true doesn't seem to change anything.

Would appreciate any help or clarification of what that setting does if it's not what I'm assuming:

# Web flash
#----------------
# Use flash player by default.
# Deafult: false
web_flash=

Many thanks to skeptical who identified the problem and resolved it in 546560f. Have used UMSBuilder to compile a 5.2.3 Snapshot and confirm the fix.
