Ah HTML w/ a Silverlight fallback....

What's the usecase for this?

hoffmang14y ago

It offers a JavaScript API for controlling the player where the API methods are the same on both the HTML5 and Silverlight versions. This consistency is very handy for using any of the versions as a fallback for the other with almost no extra coding

But dozens of these already exist for Flash/HTML5 which seems to make far more sense than Silverlight.

IE6/7 users who have Silverlight installed for Netflix or company stuff.

Who don't already have Flash? Does such a situation actually exist anywhere?
