Description
The embedder currently embeds in Flash mode if the Flash plugin is present in the browser; however, if the Flash version is too low, the player should fail over to HTML5 if possible. A good baseline is Flash 9.0.115, which introduced support for H.264 playback.

With BOTR, we require FP 10.0, for dynamic streaming. It'd be good to use that as the default.
Version 9 isn't really used anymore anyway: http://riastats.com/

Since 10.x adoption is so high, the only major use case here is 10.0 vs. 10.1 for HTTP live streaming. This detect can be done complete in Flash, so no real need to add the functionality into the embedder

Alternatively, it would be nice if this is set-able. Then:
