ios5 not playing 5.8 html5 mode

I can't seem to get the html5 to work on iPad or iPhone using jwplayer 5.8

Here is my test: http://www.uakron.edu/innovation/test.dot

I removed the flash mode to make sure it was forcing html5. It works fine in my desktop browser but for some reason ios5 iPad and iPhone won't play it.

You have under the html5 mode the following

config: {
         'file': "http://videomedia.uakron.edu/video/admin/2012UA3_lo.m4v",
         'provider': 'video'
        }

Just above that you have for the provider rtmp, is that not a contradiction? stating rtmp and video??

Also, I would recommend your video to be mp4 H.264 iso v2.

Although the m4v format is almost identical to the mp4, using the mp4 H.264 iso v2 just ensures it will work.

Thank you. When I removed the rtmp at the top, it worked. However, When I try to add flash back in it breaks. Is there a way for me to move the provider into the flash mode? I can't seem to get it to work.

jwplayer("divdc10f6aa-7ae5-4004-9147-b7683cd1161b").setup({
'id': "divdc10f6aa-7ae5-4004-9147-b7683cd1161b",
'width': "440",
'height': "248",
'autostart': true,
'streamer': "rtmp://videomedia.uakron.edu/video/admin",
'provider': 'rtmp',
'file': "2012UA2_lo.m4v",
'image': "/dotAsset/77a62af5-2036-4d00-8ab7-149c3ba8476a",
'modes': [
{type: 'flash', src: '/global/mediaplayer-5.8/player.swf'
},
{
type: 'html5',
config: {
'file': "http://videomedia.uakron.edu/video/admin/2012UA2_lo.m4v",
'provider': 'video'
}
},
{
type: 'download',
config: {
'file': "http://videomedia.uakron.edu/video/admin/2012UA2_lo.m4v",
'provider': 'video'
}
}
]

});

To be honest, I dont have experience using streaming.

  1. I would remove the type: download
  2. also I would remove the provider: video from under the html5
  3. again as previously mentioned use mp4 H2.64 iso v2

Strange. Removing 'provider': 'video' under html5 worked.

I just followed the instructions on the site. What is provider for? Thanks so much for the help.

Your quite welcome.

lololol...the instruction or documentation NEED re-vamping...too often they are mis-leading, incomplete and non-functional.

feel free to visit my web site, www.mirana.net there you'll be able to view various examples and view the coding used

Glad you got it working. It is odd that actually removing the video provider worked though.

Does this mean I now get a larger bowl of rice and my 'Grasshopper' badge?
