No fullscreen button in IE9/10 iframe embed player

Hi!

The fullscreen button is missing when embedding the jwplayer6 into an iframe.
http://kaltura.adm.ntnu.no/embedtest.html

If i run it in compatibility view (IE7 standards) the button shows as normal.

Seems to be working fine when the player is not embedded into an iframe, like here:
http://video.adm.ntnu.no/openVideo/pres/533e965c6bbf5

In general, the fullscreen support seems to vary a lot when put in an iframe, I guess this is up the different browsers how they handle this. Any pro-tips on making this as smooth as possible (other than "allowfullscreen")?
Seems like IE is handling it the worst (mayor surprise there...), but we cant really ignore IE can we... sad :p

AFAIK, IE9/IE10 don't support HTML5 fullscreen from within an iframe, so you actually don't _want_ to see an icon for it. Works just fine in IE11.

Because IE11 is pushed out as an automatic update, IE9/IE10 usage is dropping off very fast (even faster than IE8), so this may be one of those "problems" that you really _can_ just ignore. It's going to go away all on its own.

Yes, no FS button will show up. If you really want this button to show up for IE9 and IE10 users, use primary=flash.

Thanks for the feedback!

I was thinking "bug" right away, I see the problem now. html5-video + iframe + ie9/10 = not super optimal :)
Using flash-mode is working...
Il set flash primary for users of IE9/10 for now. It seems flash mode behaves better in iframes in general.

Thanks for the help!
