YouTube videos on Android phones

Hi all. I've encountered a mighty strange problem when using the embed YouTube video feature in MUSE. In a nutshell it fails to run on an S2 and an HTC phone but plays just fine on an iPhone. It also runs on a desktop browser.

 

Strangely, I have to use YouTube's 'old' embed code feature otherwise it doesn't work on an iphone either.

 

Anyone have any suggestions or know of a work-around for this?

    Hi,

     

    Do you see this happening for all the youtube embedded videos in your phone or only with the videos that are embedded on a muse site ?

     

    Regards,

    Actually, I just figured out that it was a layering issue. MUSE was loading a transparent PNG that is part of the design above the video itself. For some reason iPhone, iPad & web can distinguish this but Android can't.
