 * I wanted to be able to specify both an rtmp stream as well as a different url
   for HTML5 fallback (for the iPad/iPhone/etc). The plugin doesn’t support this
   natively so I added as alt_file field, which, if specified, the plugin will use
   as the HTML5 player source. If you need to accomplish the same thing, the patch
   is attached. Additionally, I think the logic in generate_embed_code() when deciding
   if the User-Agent was an iPad was backwards, so I corrected that as well.
 * Finally, I think a feature like this (if not this exact implementation) would
   be nice for the plugin to have.

 * [@ljg3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ljg3/),
 * Thanks for posting a patch. We’re currently working on adding mode support to
   the plugin now that it’s officially supported by JW Player 5.5. Expect an update
   soon.
 * The logic regarding iPad detection was correct. This code should only run if 
   the embedder is not present as the embedder handles iPad detection on it’s own.
 * Thanks.
