Re: JPlayer : HTML5 Audio & Video for jQuery
#2I've used JPlayer for some personal projects (e.g. https://github.com/pfarrell/pshare3). It's very easy to setup and use. I haven't gone as far as creating my own skins, but since it's all jquery and css, modifying existing ones is a no-brainer.

#3This is a great solution for audio and video, I've used it on several projects. The docs are top-notch as well.

#4What are the shortcomings of using JPlayer?
I heard only positive reviews, and would love to get the flipside, if there's any.

#5So what is the advantage in using this over say jwplayer? Don't we still need to prepare the video in different formats to target various browsers?

#6Just discovered a week or so ago and have been using on a little side project. So far nothing but good things to say about JPlayer. Skins are easy to create, it loads well, looks nice enough. Great for prototyping with if nothing else.
Though with all the good things about JPlayer, the codec issues and incompatibilities amongst browsers, I cannot say the same for HTML5 video in general.

#7Can anyone say how this compares to mediaelementjs? They seem to be very similar.
I liked mediaelement.js, but ran into massive problems when using it in a colorbox under IE8.

#8I know it isn't the typical use case but is there anything similar that (also) supports flac? (or even wma?)

#9Love this thing, I've used it on a bunch of projects. The javacript API is great.

#10We use JPlayer here at Senzari (http://senzari.com/) and it's been a blast to use, very easy to skin and supports fallbacks (HTML5, Flash) for every supported file format.
My only issue with it is the progress bar integration with the flash player.
We reskinned and moved every single element of it: http://cl.ly/2s323p2a1a3D3I1f1H44
