Bug Description

Embedded youtube videos display warning about needing flash player on ubuntu touch, android, and presumably iOS as well.

Can we get an HTML5 video embed instead? If not, we should rethink direct embedding.

This is an example of how you could format the video which should fall back from mpeg4 to ogg to flash. Just replace the URLs as necessary and if you have more than one video on the page at once, change the video_id to be unique for each one. Remove the OGG video stanza if not required.

Forcing html5 via &html5=1 didn't work. We can't manually embed the video and seemingly must use the django plugin. It needs fixed there.

This should be possible with the upcoming djangocms-video 2.0.0 (https://github.com/divio/djangocms-video/pull/21/files).
