The code refers to something called XstreamPlayer, scripts are loading from xstream.dk. It has logic like this:



		if (swfobject.hasFlashPlayerVersion('10.1.0')) {
			this._embedFlashPlayer(config);
		} else if (config.html5Fallback && this.isPlatformSupported()) {//html5 player enabled
			this._embedHtml5Player(config);
		} else {
			failMessage = 'Please install or upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to latest version <a href="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/">download Adobe Flash Player </a>';
			this.notifiy(failMessage, config.targetId);
		}

And this is isPlatformSupported() - no wonder it fails :-/


	/**
	 * Check if html5 player can be used on this platform
	 * now only iphone and ipad are supported
	 * @return bool 
	 */
	isPlatformSupported : function () {
		var ua = navigator.userAgent,
		isiPad = /iPad/i.test(ua),
		isiPhone = /iPhone/i.test(ua),
		response = (isiPhone || isiPad);
		
		return response;
	},

(The player seems to work OK in Android Stock browser and Opera Classic on Android, so I'm not sure if that iPhone/iPad sniffing is the full story after all)
