Anybody here with an iPhone?
 

Please check this video for me :

http://slomoplayer.com/slomoplayer/slomoembed.html

I have two mp4 videos on the page.
Can you tell me which one, or if any of them work in the iphone.

Thanks

Just use JW player, it has HTML 5 fallback, so works on iPhone out of the box.

Edit. Oh I see you made your own player.
I checked and the first one shows a striped out play button.
the second one shows a non striped out play button and plays fine on iPhone

The page is in HTML5 already.
There isn't even a flash player on the page.

I'm checking the video encoding.


But thanks for not clicking to even see that.

:helpme

Thanks for checking.

Both videos are mp4 but have slightly different encoding.

And html5 fallback is nothing but a browser detection script so I have no clue
why people think it only works with the jw player.
It doesn't matter which player you use, you just need a script to do the fallback.

Yes, please check on ipad.

Thanks

Yeah I know, I just didn't realize you were working on your own player.

Using android ... but i've already came across your player being used on tubes so congrats there.

None work on my iPhone.

Did your android play HTML5 on that page?
I think that it should.

HTML5 is a video encoding nightmare.
iphone plays the bottom video, but google chrome only plays the top video.

Do you have a new iphone?

How old is your iphone?

My phone only played top video.

That makes sense because google chrome only played the top video also.

phone only played the third one ok.

It's not even a year old. It's an iPhone 4.

Saw two black boxes in Safari and two lines saying my browser doesn't support the video tag in Opera.

I have to find the perfect mp4 encoding that will work for everyone.
I hope that is possible.

It looks like iphone needs mpeg-4 but not with h.264.

Anybody know if that's the case?

Opera should not have played because it needs .ogg video to use HTML5.

I just added ogg, see if you still get the same message.

Yep same message.

"Your browser does not support the video tag. video"

Well it's all about the video codecs and encoding multiple formats for each
video on your site.

That's why it would have been great for flash to be used on all mobile devices.

People think their mobile site is working with HTML5, but it's not. :1orglaugh

I have the latest version of Opera and the videos played for me.

HTML5 is looking like it was rushed into market before the browsers are ready.
The browsers require different video to play and some browsers aren't even recognizing
the HTML5 video tag.

You won't find a way to encode a video that will play on all devices. You will have to encode separate versions for each platform.

i cunt afford a black iphone..

Never had an iPhone :pimp

Standard Android 2.3 browser

Top one works

Glad i'm not on a train because the volume on my phone was turned right up :uhoh

Yes, this is the case exactly.

Some people are also claiming that h.264 will be dropped in favor of ogg or webm
because h.264 is not open source.

I wish these big companies would do more to educate the webmaster community.
Digging for this information is time consuming and more than often the information
we find is incomplete or only works "if...."

:1orglaugh

Yeah, I could have picked a better video but at the time I just went to my site
and downloaded the first one.

Google for "Electric Plum Electric Mobile Simulator" (I cannot post url due to I don't have 30 posts), it's iPad/iPhone browser simulator.
I am always using it to test my websites displays properly on Apple mobile hardware.

Bottom one works on iphone4 for me
