[Thomas]

- Updated the theater to the latest version of the JW Player. Browser and system detection are now supported, so the player will automatically load the proper module for whatever you're viewing the site on.

Computers with Flash get the regular flash theater, devices with HTML5 (like iPhones, iPads, etc) will load the videos in their own way, and devices with neither will just get a download link.
