    74 <p>Note the H.264 video codec supports different <em>profiles</em>; different levels of encoding sophistication. The <strong>Baseline</strong> profile is supported by all devices (older Androids and iPhone 2G/3G), while the <strong>Main</strong> profile is only supported by recent devices. The <strong>High</strong> profile has even less support and only adds efficiency for 1080p quality or higher.</p>

    170 <p>The YouTube API requires the Flash plugin at present. Therefore, it is supported only on desktop browsers and Android devices running Flash. On iOS, limited playback support is available as part of the <a href="browsers.html">Download Fallback</a>. YouTube's experimental <a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference">iFrame API</a> will likely introduce full iOS support in the future.</p>

    172163<p>Some additional notes on YouTube support:</p> 
    … …  
    175166<li>YouTube may place ads over the video during playback. These ads can not be disabled. Neither can the YouTube logo in the bottom right corner be removed.</li> 
    176167<li>If the owner of a YouTube video has disabled it for embedding on 3rd party sites, JW Player cannot play the video. An error message is then displayed.</li> 
    177 <li>YouTube videos are always available in multiple qualities, which means the JW Player's quality selector is automatically displayed in the controlbar.</li> 
     168<li>YouTube videos are mostly available in multiple qualities, which means the JW Player's quality selector is automatically displayed in the controlbar.</li>
