I've seen in previous issues (e.g. #6) that adding audio/mp4 to the list of supported types for flash should enable firefox to play audio/mp4 files.

I'm pretty sure flash supports audio/mp4 because I've used it with other html5 audio players like jwplayer.

However, I can't seem to get it to work with mediaelementsjs.

You mentioned in #6 that you had it working for flash by adding audio/mp4, to the list of supported media types in mejs.plugins {flash} array. When I add this, the player skin is properly displayed, but the audio does not play.

Was really hoping this would work. Trying to find a good html5 audio/video player with flash fallback that also works on iPhone Safari.

Need to play video/mp4 and audio/mp4.

I can get jwplayer to work with audio/mp4 everywhere but the iphone - it's skin is all messed up and it opens the audio in a QT player rather than inline.

I can get mediaelementjs to work with audio/mp4 on the iphone and everywhere else accept with audio/mp4 in Firefox.

Would love to get mediaelements to work as it seems like the best all around solution.
