It seems works. Need to wait before the video played.
MP4 file: Video Codec H.264/AVC, 25fps, 384x288px, 4:3 aspect ratio, Bitrate 1248 kbps, 1 MB file size.

But what I don't like about this player is, it is autoplay
I didn't try any plugin provided in their site yet.

Other fee player maybe JW Player.
Reading the description in their website, it seems that this player supports more various files than Flow Player.
And they have many plugins too.

But I don't know which is better, Yumi. I don't know much about "online video"

File format support is usually supplied via Flash - the "player" is really just an interface for the Flash backend.  So support will most likely be the same.
From memory, Flash supports:
- FLV container (all supported video/audio codecs)
- MP3
- MP4 (H.264 video (all profiles/levels supported) with AAC audio (all profiles supported)) - I'm not sure if it supports MP3 in MP4, but I suspect it would

Most MP4s will have a H.264 video stream with either MP3 or AAC audio, so it'll probably work with most of the MP4s out there.  Only those that run an MPEG-4 ASP video stream might be problematic, but those don't seem to be terribly common.

IDK about FlowPlayer, but I know JWPlayer is licensed under Creative Commons, which means that if your site has ads on it, you need to pay for a license (funnily enough, there's a number of MyBB themes licensed under CC, but they don't seem to have any commercial licenses available for them).

Yes, you could do it, just have both inputs and use an if conditional to hide one of the players depending on what has been submitted.
