Video shortcode – not working in Safari, iOS 6/iOS 7 iPad

    Hi,

    I had to implement a video gallery for a client and got a bad result after testing the page on my iPad 4 with iOS7 (and the neighbor’s iPad 3 with iOS6) with latest version of su 4.5.3. On Win7 it works.
    Neither did the poster image show up, nor did the video start.
    It shows the middle triangle and after hovering the player’s UI. That’s it.
    I know that the original jPlayer works on iOS:
    Tested it on their start page here

    Is there an option I missed?
    My shortcode looks like this:
    [su_video url="http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/video_01.flv" poster="http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/video_poster_01.jpg" title="video title" width="360" height="280" controls="no" class="vid"]

    What about HTML5 fallback for example?
    Or should I use another video format like mp4 and is it then working correctly on PC?

    Thanks in advance, greetings, Adrian

    still unable to implement videos on ipad…
    no answer?
    Sorry, but I’m not yet allowed to provide a link in public, cause my customer don’t want to show anything before the site is looking correctly.

    I am having trouble with playing videos on IOS as well, but from your shortcode, it looks like you are calling a Flash Video (flv). IOS will not play Flash. All the documentation I could find points to using mp4 (h.264 encoding)… which I still cannot get to play on IOS… I have yet to try jplayer. Let me know if you get it working!
    Thanks,

    Meanwhile I managed it to display my videos on iPad. I used the generic wp-shortcode with mp4 encoded in h264:
    [video width="360" height="202" mp4="http://http://www.mysite.com/videos/video_01.mp4" poster="http://www.mysite.com/videos/video_poster_01.jpg" preload="none" autoplay="off"][/video]
    Hope it helps.
    Good luck! Adrian
