iPod Touch Issue

I wasnt sure where to post this in an existing thread as I think it would get lost. So here is my problem...

I have setup the player EXACTLY as suggested using the JW Embedder methods and hosted it on our own server. Player and video clip works fine in all browsers just like the examples on the JW Player homepage (http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/) but opening the page on my iPod Touch only shows the poster image and not the play button, however I CAN play the exact same setup on my iPod Touch of the file at http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/

There's more to it however. If i substitute my hosted server code so that it points to the example .mp4 and player.swf files they work fine on my Ipod touch.

Is it something im doing wrong...im at my wits end!

Any advice or insight guys?

I should also note that viewing this page (http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/16001/embedding-over-a-video-t...) on my iPod Touch works fine but using that exact same setup on our server and viewing with iPod Touch displays the poster but not the play button.

I hope this makes it easier?

Hi Ethan

Sure, the examples are below. Iv'e been told that they work on a colleauges iPhone so wodering if its the iPod touch that has compatibility issues...but still, I can view the clips from your site as detailed in the original opening post.

Just to let you know the issue is now resolved. I was simply using the incorrect Handbrake Profile when encoding my file :)

Thanks for your time and effort...I guess a lesson learnt about proper encoding!

Many thanks

Chris

Can you walk me through the steps on how to install the JW Player on
my IPod Touch 4th gen. I'd truly appreciate it since I'm tech lacking.

You don't install the player on your iPod, you install it on your website.
