I'm having trouble playing video (iframe) through webview_flutter
The videos are hosted on various platforms, Vimeo, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram. And what is causing me more problems is Vimeo, I believe because of the ad that appears before the original video.
When you do not have an ad the video loads, but when you have to run an ad before, the app screen will blink and play nothing.
Ps; I can not disable the ads.
Solved, it was some problem in the android emulator, I tested on physical devices and ran without problem.

Im recording 360° videos for my real estate agency and embed the videos on my wordpress website on the various listings. However after being uploading new videos for properties for about 3 days now. Ive realized they dont play correctly on iOS devices.
Basically you cant move the camera around with your finger or by moving the device around.
Android does work, but iOS doesnt. Tried different browsers too its something to do with how ioS or the player iOS uses when playing a youtube video.
How can I fix this problem? As its a massive issue that I must fix somehow.
Thanks in advance!

Video works fine on android/desktop/mac/windows but not if on iOS. Tested Safari and Chrome. Both didnt work.
This has been a limitation for some time on Mobile devices unfortunately - embedded 360 videos require the YouTube App to play. See note from YouTube (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6178631?hl=en):
To watch 180° or 360° videos, you need the latest version of Chrome, Opera, Firefox, or MS Edge. On mobile devices, use the latest version of the YouTube app.
It does appear to work on Android devices when embedded now, but on iOS this seems to still be a restriction.
Hey everyone,
we have a serious issue with a website where we have an html5 video on the landingpage. It's a muted autoplay 5second loop that is supposed to play as a background-video on the site.
Now … we have two persons testing it, with the exact same device.
iPhoneX with Google Chrome (caches cleared and tested on both devices with Incognito and without)
On my phone the autplay works just fine. Video plays in the background.
On my collegues iPhoneX (same build, bought at the same date, same iOS version, same Browser (caches cleared)) it does not play automatically. He get's the play-icon.
Any idea why?
Thanks,
Matt
For everyone looking into that. The reason is iOS Low-Power-Mode. in low power mode the videos do not automatically play.
Developing a simple web app that has vimeo embed in it. When visiting the app in Safari in normal mode, it will play, however, when opening the app in fullscreen modes through (add to homescreen) vimeo will not play any more. It get's stuck on loading the movie.
Anybody run into the same problem or any suggestions why this may be the case?
Thnx!
This bug looks to be resolved as of iOS 9.
The video plays fine on the desktop evergreen browsers, and in stand alone mode on Android devices.
It even plays nice on the iOS8 safari, but once a user goes and adds it to their home screen, the video no longer plays.
I put up an example here http://bugs.readingplus.com/ios8-video-test/.
If you using iOS8 you can play the video, add the url to your home screen and load it up. You will get the controls, but once you touch play all you get is the first frame.
I put the source of the page on Github, or you can just go to the page and view the source.
Am I missing something, is my markup fubared, is this just a bug, has anyone found a work around?
As of iOS 8.3 the issue is partially resolved. I have verified that the video, in the example, now plays when launched from the "Add to Home Screen" link.
The remaining issue is the audio, it is not being rendered/played.
this is great news, can it be confirmed by others?
I don't want to take the plunge and update to 8.3 until I'm confident video and audio in a homescreen webclip are working in iOS 8.3
Looks like iOS 8.3 fixes this issue. I have a standalone web app that uses an audio element, and it's working as expected now. FINALLY!
I have googled the heck out of this question, but I have found no information that is at all helpful. My question is simple: why can't I play embedded Vimeo videos (using the universal iframe embed code) on iOS Simulator running an iPad in Safari?
Is it because this is not supported on iOS Simulator, or is it a more complex problem? Thanks
I had the same problem with my Vimeo embeds. I first noticed it in Safari on iPhone through the simulator. Then I tried it in Safari on the iPad (through the simulator). Finally, I tried just watching any video on the Vimeo site itself. None worked on the iPad/iPhone using the simulator. So I don't think the problem is specific to embeds, or any particular video. It's a problem with playing Vimeo videos in Safari on iOS, through the simulator, it seems.
Is this universal to every vimeo video you encounter or only specific ones you are trying to embed? For example, if you visit vimeo.com on mobile safari are you able to play any of their videos in iOS simulator?
If you can play videos on Vimeo.com then the problem lies with the specific videos you're trying to embed. Certain Vimeo videos uploaded >2 years ago did not process well when Vimeo made the switch to HTML5. This is rectified be re-uploading the videos back into Vimeo and letting them re-process. Then use the new generated embed code.
