There's no need to force anything. In its default configuration, JW Player will use HTML5 if it's available, then Flash. See http://misterneutron.com/JW6video/ - that will use Flash only in IE8 or Firefox on WinXP.

Of course, you must be providing a properly-encoded MP4 file, and not something like an FLV, which is Flash only.

Hello,

MisterNeutron is right. You can always check the current rendering mode as well to ensure playback in the console: jwplayer().getRenderingMode() .

Unless you need to check the rendering mode programatically, you can just right-click on the video and tell immediately what mode it's in. If you see the message "About Adobe Flash Player," you're in Flash mode. Otherwise, you're in HTML5 mode. Try it on these two pages. You don't even have to start the video - just right-click on the player frame:
