Flash Video not showing in iPad

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi. I tried to use the plugin on my site, but the problem is, that it wont show on iPad. Instead I just see a crossed out play symbol. To see if I did something wrong I tried the same with the official demo page and got the same error there.
Is there a way how to fix this?

Are you using FLV video, or MP4?

FLV will only work with Flash, but MP4 should work with Flash and Apple's HTML5 implementation.

Let me know! Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, elyon. It's definitely a mp4. I attached the video file. Any Idea how to get this going?

Elyon,
I know that it might be my fault that the addon is not working, but I think you should at least take the time to reply to me and send me a link to an example where video on ipad works.

Hi! Sorry. Definitely not trying to ignore you.

I started a new job just before this thread, and subsequently have been buried with 150+ emails each day from work and haven't been connected to my personal computer, really, until this week.

I don't have an iPad to test with, but I was told it works. If you use an H.264 encoded video, an i-device should be able to play it, as well as Flash. I'm using a standard HTML5 embed, relying on the iOS browser to create the chrome for playing the video.

Let me see if I can find someone else who did this on their site...

I am really having trouble testing this, as I don't have a video or a device to test with. Can you try to upload and use a video which you know will play in your browser, and see if it works?

For some reason the video on my site works now in iPad - but I can't really tell why. The one on the demo site is still broken though.
If I get around to investigate this a little further I'll let you know.
