Hello
I have this html video tag:
<video id="asdasd" width="320" height="240" controls preload>
<source src="getVideo.php?video=some.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
Where getVideo.php is:
<?php
echo file_get_contents($drivepath.$_GET['video']);
?>
I tried this on chrome and safari and it works, but it doesn’t work on ipad.
How can I make work this on ipad? Is there a way to make video src parametrized, without giving the file path directly?
Thanks all.
The problem is probably the encoding of the MP4. (Hard to say with authority without a link to your problem file.) Apple devices are very particular about what they will and will not play.
The solution: Encode the video with h264 Baseline Profile 3.0
Technically the iPad can support h264 Main Profile 3.1, but that won’t cover iPhones.
