    Hello Flowplayer forum
    Is there a way to make videos play on a Windows Phone 8.1?
    Thanks, Stefan

    Hello Stefan,

    could you please let us know what screen size you get here on your Windows Phone? http://www.whatismyscreenresolution.com/

    We might need to improve our detection and then it seems like mobile video recommendations should get you there: https://foliovision.com/player/encoding#mobile-video

    Or you can try to make sure your MP4 video is using the baseline profile as recommended here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/ff462087(v=vs.105).aspx

    You can report the video using the video checker and will have a look if it should play fine.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi Martin, thanks for your reply.

    Im on a Lumia 925 Windows Phone 8.1 (Lumia Cyan). The resolution is 1280×768, but gets detected as 383×638 on IE Mobile. D’uh!

    The video on the foliovision.com landing page doesn’t play. Well, it does play as I can hear the audio playing and the timebar moving. But the initial splash image keeps staying in front of the video. So I guess the problem lays there?

    The Encoding specs on the microsoft-url you linked, shouldn’t be an issue (Snapdragon S4).

    Add: When using UC Browser (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/uc-browser/6cda5651-56b9-48b0-8771-91dbc188f873) on the same phone, the screen gets detected as 480×800. Very confusing.

    Hello Stefan,

    I posted the same video here, does it play on your Windows Phone? http://lifeinamovie.com/h/a-test1.html

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Stefan G. 11 years ago

    No. Same case previously described.

    Hello Stefan,

    thank you for reporting back. Could you please try on this demo page? This one has no splash image: http://lifeinamovie.com/h/a-test1-nosplash.html

    This will help us come up with an encoding recommendation for Windows Phone compatibility or fix any bug with the splash screen.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Black video is black :/

    Hello Stefan,

    here’s a version with no splash image and a mobile optimized MP4 video (optimized for old HTC phones): http://lifeinamovie.com/h/a-test1-nosplash-mobile.html

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Still no luck.

    Hello Stefan,

    looks like it might not support the inline playback and it’s also pretty new OS. We will send you something to test tomorrow.

    Thanks!
    Martin

    Hello Stefan,

    we attempted a fix here: http://lifeinamovie.com/h/wp81.html

    Could you please check if it plays? You should also be seeing following debug output below the video:

    “Are you Windows Phone 8.1? true
    Do you support inlineVideo? true”

    Is that what you get?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Stefan G. 11 years ago

    Video working! That girl is hot… =)
    Both debug variables were visible and “true”. What did you do?

    Martin 11 years ago

    Hello Stefan,

    we are glad that it works! We added user agent detection for Windows Mobile 8.1. It should be fine as a quick fix.

    Could you please also test the video here? This time it’s not optimized for mobile and there is a splash screen as well: http://lifeinamovie.com/h/wp81-splash-hd.html

    Then we can put the fix into new version of the plugin and release it.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Stefan G. 11 years ago

    It’s running fine!

    Martin 11 years ago

    Hell Stefan,

    you will be able to get this fix with the next FV Flowplayer version which will be released later today.

    Thank you for your cooperation!

    Martin
