I know this topic has been discussed in length and I have done my due diligence browsing this content. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a definitive answer regarding the ability to embed and play video using IE 11 as the viewer without using the Shockwave Flash add-on.
So... here is the situation. There is a reluctance to push out the Shockwave Flash add-on (plugin) to all users due to recent history of exploited vulnerabilities. This has lead me down a path of trying to determine if I can embed the JWPlayer (not using Flash) into an IE 11 viewed web page.
My various attempts have worked fine in Chrome however I'm not sure if the Flash player is being used in that scenario. In IE 11, with all settings reset (including Advanced settings) set back to factory settings, I get the triangle with the "!" in the middle. If I Enable Shockwave Flash player, it works just fine but otherwise it does not. This includes attempts to view the video at "https://www.jwplayer.com/solutions/publishers-broadcasters/" and any other video hosted internally or externally.
So my question is, can IE 11 play video using embedded JWPlayer without Flash enabled? If so, can you point me in a direction where I might better understand what settings are necessary for that to work.
Thank you in advance.
Johan
