[YouTube-API] Re: Enable HTML5 Videos Using Cookie

Hi Jeffrey:

Thanks for your reply.  If I'm running the code in a WebKit browser that I control, can I set the cookie then?  The issue is that I always need it in HTML5, even if they have Flash installed.

Hello Pierce,

 You can't set the cookie from your own site.

 You shouldn't have to worry about this, though. If you view a
<iframe> embed in a browser that doesn't have Flash installed, it will
automatically attempt to use HTML5 <video> (assuming the browser
supports that). This is independent of the cookie.

Cheers,
