The website is: Experience Map

The video plays nicely on desktop but I cannot get it to play on iPad.

Below is the code we are using on the homepage to get the video to autostart and loop, a direct link to the file plays the video so it is not this. Any help would be great.

<section class="video-home">
<video width="560" height="340" autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" >
<source src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/01161203_7ea3dc3247fbdda59fbf7f7435e88464.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>  
<source src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Expereince-Map_libtheora.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
<object width="640" height="384" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    data="http://www.experiencemap.com/wp includes/js/tinymce/plugins/media/moxieplayer.swf?image=placeholder.jpg&file=/wp content/uploads/2013/06/Experience-Map-h264.mp4">
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.experiencemap.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/media/moxieplayer.swf?image=placeholder.jpg&file=/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/01161203_7ea3dc3247fbdda59fbf7f7435e88464.mp4" />
</object>
    </video>
    </section>

Kind regards,

Chris

  • This may not be the reason it's not working, but if you look at line 1485 of the page source (the tag), you'll notice that Wordpress is adding a
    where you've got a line return, which is breaking the element. I'd try putting putting the elements and element all on one line and see if that helps.     – Chris Jul 01 '13 at 20:24
  • Looks like the real reason is that autoplay doesn't work on iOS and Android. Source: http://www.longtailvideo.com/html5/ – Chris Jul 01 '13 at 20:46
  • Hi Chris, thanks for the response. We have removed the break and thanks for the autoplay response, I guess we will have to live with that for now. Any other ideas on why it's still not working? – user2531282 Jul 02 '13 at 13:19
  • The link does say that autoplay should work on iPads running at least 6.1 which I am... any other solutions/thughts? – user2531282 Jul 02 '13 at 13:25
