MP4 (h264) to play on an iPad?

randomlydunn11 Aug 13, 2014 5:36 AM

So I cant get a RH Responsive HTML5 project to play an MP4 on an ipad? but works fine on a pc (tested 3 w/browsers).
Outside the published project, the iPad plays Mp4's without any problems.
But within a RH Responsive HTML5 project on the ipad, the MP4 shows up as a black square with a "crossed out" play button in the middle.
on any pc the published RH project, plays fine.

I've tried several different mp4's (h264) ,,, I've even multiple sizes of MP4s.

Am I missing something?

Hi there

Just a WAG here, but what if you had just a hyperlink that opened the MP4? Sounds like you are trying to play it from inside a topic and something about that is clobbering things.

Or, perhaps use an Inline Frame? Instead of configuring an HTML file as the source, perhaps configure the MP4?

Sorry, no way for me to test as well, as I don't have wealthy lineage and have never had an iPad.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks Rick, I don't own one myself either..

seems to be this iPad's issue, not a RH issue. I played several MP4's the other day while testing,,,, now..

I rebooted the ipad and it doesn't play ~any~ MP4's, at all anywhere.... (except... youtube, and that works fine, go figure)

great....... I wonder if i need to soak it in a bucket of water??

I think this is an iPad issue as I can find a myriad of similar problems on other forums as well. See my reply in your original thread: Robohelp 11 htmp, MP4 on a iPad?

Kind regards,

Willam
