Video support on Learn site for non-Flash users?

Post by jps3 »

I find it a little bit odd that your Learn site requires the Flash plugin for some videos. What prompted me to write this was the page at URL https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips. It is not of any great consequence to me, other than the fact that I'll generally skip those articles, feeling a little annoyed. I'm sure I cannot be the only person. (Obviously one could not watch those videos using a Raspberry Pi!)

Not being a web developer, I will need to claim ignorance of the technical hurdles, but surely with all of the historical and frequent security issues involving the Flash plugins, it would be a Good Idea™ to move away from such a requirement?

(No reply necessary, just my $0.02 on the subject, and a gentle nudge hopefully to move away from Flash.) :-)

most/all videos are on youtube, that's one from flickr, rare but there are a couple.

I never even checked, I just assumed. My apologies for being so pedantic. :-)

Just use Chrome it has flash built in, nothing to install or download
