I would like to get the Flash fallback for mediaelement.js to work, but it only shows a black area saying "download file" in the upper left. The video markup I generate looks very much like this. I just modified some paths for privacy reasons:
<video width="1024" height="576" preload="none" style="display: none; ">
<object width="1024" height="576" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="flashmediaelement.swf">
<param name="movie" value="/wp-content/themes/my_theme/js/vendor/mediaelement/flashmediaelement.swf">
<param name="flashvars" value="controls=true&file=http://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/my_video.mp4">
</object>
</video>
Is there anything obviously wrong with this? Is there a way to get some debug output? When does the "download file" thing show up? The mediaelement.js page doesn't mention it anywhere. I first thought one of the paths must be wrong, but I can't see any failed requests in Chrome's debug tools.
Any help is appreciated!
EDIT: I extracted a minimal example of the failing code and uploaded it here
