I have created this webpage with this video using iframe.
http://mediafactory.gr/webm/
If someone clicks the link, he will see the video immediately with no placeholder.
How can I do this for iphones and tablets also? Right now if you open the link using iphone or tablets the site will ask for an application to open the video.
I have used this code.
<iframe src="http://mediafactory.gr/wp-content/e-card/bahagram/eCard.webm" width="1024" height="150"></iframe>
IOS doesn't support Webm. But I read a thread and it says that it will propose a vlc:// url handler that will enable to launch vlc to play an http (webm or anythin) stream directly in VLC in Safari. Check it out and let me know.

We are developing a mobile application (using ionic framework, jquery) and thinking to let our users to share videos from vimeo, youtube etc. in this case we are integrating vimeo video link in iframe. Below are challenges:
Not able to play vimeo videos inline in our application:
on iPhone device when we play vimeo video from our ionic application it opens in a native video player, on the contrary we want to play it inline in our application itself
in case of Youtube video its supported and works well. They have provide Playsinline property to support it.
As per vimeo developers documentation, we have not found any similar video player property to allow inline video rendering
Is there any workaround that you suggest to play vimeo video inline inside application?
Play, seek & load progress events are not supported in mobile application
As per your developers page, play, seek, load progress etc events are not supported in mobile application
Is there any workaround to enable these events on our mobile application
Yes, I know there are limitations that vimeo has declared but can someone provide me if there are any workarounds? Your response to our queries is very much important for us.
Reference:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters
https://developer.vimeo.com/player/js-api#event-compatibility
try adding background=1 to your embed code
<iframe id="player1" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/[video id]?api=1&player_id=player1&background=1" width="630" height="354" frameborder="0"></iframe>
This wil not work in browsers which revert to the flashplayer.
I don't know if you'll have javascript API functionallity.
This will remove all controls aswell. What I've read, it's still in an experimental fase, but hope it works for you.
I have seen several sites where they are able to create links to videos and they actually open on the video player of the iPhone, iPad or iPod.
This is obviously not a flash player video, and they don't seem to be embedded from youtube.
So I was wondering how can I add a video on my site that can be opened on an iPhone, and also what type of format is required for this?
Thanks
HTML5 Video works on iOS devices, see http://html5video.org
and here is a decent player plugin

I have been doing some research into what is possible, as far as I can tell
Autoplay
Possible to autostart videos on early versions of IOS http://www.codeblog.co/getting-autoplay-working-on-ios/ although this no longer works on current version (exact version it stopped working I don't know). Behaviour seems to be the same on both the iPad and iPhone?
Playing video in page
On the iPhone videos always pop out to player, its not possible to play in page.
However is possible to play videos in page on the iPad - have tried out the videos on here and they do play inline.

Playing as intro video
May be able to do an enter now button for the site with below code to trigger
<input type="button" value="Play" onClick="document.myMovie.play()">

Could then on iPad make this take the full screen in page in website and use js to detect when the video finishes. Am thinking on iPhone may not be possible to detect when video finishes?
Can anyone clarify what is possible?
As much as I know intro video aren't too popular, this is a requirement for the site.
Automatic play is not possible on iOS as fas sa I'm aware. They removed support on purpose to stop people from doing it.
Any playback now requires the user to actually specify for the video to play, so providing a button to play it should be fine?
Can't you keep your video in the bundle and play it with MPMovieePlayer.Then you won't need to autoplay the video,the video will be played autometically itself.As I do the same thing.
I have just created and iPhone web app, which has some x264 (mp4) video files on it. When I link directly to the file on the iPhone and the user taps the link, the video player is loaded and the video starts playing.
Using the app on an Android phone causes the browser to download the video instead of just playing it. Is there a way to force a video player to just boot up and play the video not download it?
Thanks in advance.
You should know that Android is quite strict regarding the video streams that you can stream. To be able to watch a stream a video (progressively watch and download) the video container must be correctly formatted.
There are many ways to create a container suitable for progressive streaming. You can look it up here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread/2a801ce5f71b5aaf?pli=1
I have successfully created a streamable video. Try to open it from your browser: http://students.mimuw.edu.pl/~nh209484/Video000.3gp
I'm a newbie to cocoa programing on iPhone.
My client has a website that plays YouTube videos. Once a video is finished playing, it will automatically play the next one. This is done by using the YouTube API and swfobject.
After some research, I was told that Safari on iPhone does not support flash. This make the current swfobject code not working on the iPhone browser.
As workaround, when the user clicked on an embedded player, iPhone will launch the YouTube app.
Is to possible to determine when the YouTube app has finished playing and has returned control back to browser?
You can use UIWebView to play videos from YouTube. You'll have to control those from your application though (start, stop, play next, etc).
Also In iOS you can register custom URI schemes and then redirect the browser (or UIWebView) back to your application. This is how many application do 3-legged OAuth for example (which requires a browser interaction). Which might require having a control over the server.
No, it is not possible to jump out of your App and then come back to it again. Once you leave your App, you are finished.
You'll need to stay in a UIWebView, or come up with another method of playing the YouTube videos from within your App.
