    2526<h2>Introduction</h2> 
    2627 
    27 <p>JW Player supports 9 distinct media formats: 3 video filetypes (<em>MP4</em>, <em>WebM</em>, <em>FLV</em>), 3 audio filetypes (<em>AAC</em>, <em>MP3</em>, <em>Vorbis</em>), 2 streaming protocols (<em>HLS</em>, <em>RTMP</em>) and <em>YouTube</em> (through their Chromeless Player API). Under certain circumstances, JW Player may play additional formats (like <em>Ogg</em> videos or <em>ShoutCast</em> streams), but only these 9 are cross-browser tested and officially supported.</p>

    2829 
    2930<p>JW Player does not decode audio or video itself, but instead relies upon two underlying browser technologies: the HTML5 &lt;video&gt; element and the Adobe Flash plugin. Whether a format can play in HTML5 and/or Flash varies by browser. Therefore, we list below in which browsers each format is supported. See <a href="browsers.html">Supported Browsers &amp; Devices</a> for more details.</p> 
    3031 
    31 <p>JW Player tries to recognize a file format by its extension (e.g. <em>.mp4</em> for MP4 videos). If the extension of your files is not recognized, the player will display an error. However, if you know your file is in a supported format, you can use the <em>type</em> playlist option to force that format. See <a href="playlists.html">Working with Playlists</a> for more info.</p>
