Flowplayer Plugin doesn’t work on iOS!

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Troubleshooting › Flowplayer Plugin doesn’t work on iOS!

  • Etha 13 years ago

    I downloaded the FV WordPress Plugin. I can play video’s just fine via Mac & PC.

    However, when I navigate to the same site and attempt to play these videos I get a Play symbol with a line through it and the inability to play the video.

    Does anyone know why this would be occurring?

    Hi Etha,

    I am not sure what are you asking. The video on the link you have sent plays just fine. Please try to be more specific.

    Maybe one advice I can guess at this moment, is that you need to have flashplayer installed – Flowplayer is based on Flash. It won’t play unless you have flash installed.

    I’m specifically talking about iOS and it works on neither an iPhone or iPad. If Flowplayer can’t accommodate for HTML, I guess I’ll just have to use JWPlayer … which, is having a similar, but different problem. Wondering if this somehow relates back to Apache.

    Hello Etha,

    iPhones, iPads are more specific and it depends what kind of video are you trying to play. It you have .flv, then no player would help you on iPhone. You will need an mp4 video if you want it to be played on mobile devices. Please try to decode your video into more mobile-friendly format.

    The video I’m using is in a .mp4 format. I am using this video specifically that was provided by longtail.

    Hi Etha,

    our plugin automatically turns into the html5 player when the mobile device is detected.

    The bunny video from longtail should play well. I have just tested this on our test site with the latest version of the plugin and the default wp theme. You can maybe check this page on your mobile device too. If this plays for you then you have some bug on your page, which prevents the video to play. If this video does not play on your device, then I would like to ask you if you can write us exact version of Iphone you’re using or even better the user agent of your mobile browser.
    Thanks,
    Zdenka

    I have a similar problem. I have a WP site and we use flowplayer for a series of videos all posted on the same page. All the videos down the page work great on computers, but the iPad shows the 2nd 3rd and on down with the arrow through the play symbol. Any ideas?

    Oh yeah, I ended up finding a solution that worked for me (was Multi-Site byte handling issue): ‘http://www.technowut.com/2012/05/14/how-to-stream-videos-to-ios-devices-with-multisite-wordpress/’
