Epub, video won't auto play on ipad

Hi everyone
I've exported a fixed layout epub from Indesign CC which contains a number of videos set to auto play
Running the epub in ibooks on my desktop has the intended result, the videos auto play on page load as expected.
However, when I play the epub in ibooks on an iPad the videos will not auto play and instead load the first frame and a play button.
Has anyone encountered this issue?
Cheers
Chris

How do I get the videos on msnbc to play on IPad ?

How do I get the videos on msnbc to play. I get a message that says video will play not but sometime the audio will play . I thinking that I am overlooking something in the settings.
I have had the videos working in the past, and I am not trying to run flash. Problem surface when I rebooted the iPad.

Balance? Seriously? No serious person can say that hardcore lefties like Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Larry O'Donnel and Rev. Al are balanced. They are opinion show masquerading as news programs. The public isn't fooled, and MSNBC's rating show it.
Anyway, the Fox News app is very good and always works with video, audio, and slide shows. Worth a look if you are seeking a mulitmedia news app.

Video won't work on my iPad mini?

I'm trying to watch a video but it won't work. You know how there's a triangle thing over videos you press to start them? There is a line across it. I rebooted my iPad but it still won't work. My iPad is an iPad mini 16gb

Hi Friend,
Which kind of account are you using?
If you are using a business account (for example [email protected]) you must set POP account info properly, filling all the blank fields (name, email address, description, password, Host Name, user's name, SMTP). Just one field blanked causes error in sending/receiving.
If you are using a default account (iCloud, Yahoo!, Hotmail...), fill all the blank fields (Name, Email account, Password, Description) and sign in.
If not works, delete the account and sign in again
Hope it will be helpful

My flash video won't auto rewind

Hi,
NOM, but please read the announcements at the top of this page in front of all the DW threads: "How Important is Code? A plea for help from us to new posters!" (Or better to help you!)
I would prefer you would send us your link to your website in question (No matter how it looks like).

P.S.
Does your provider support the MM-format?

Converting MP4 video to download and play on ipad Air

I have a few MP4 videos that I want to download to my ipad Air and show as my video portfolio.
I have researched this and there are so many answers but none seem to work. (tried like 4 of them already and still choppy video!)
I can't seem to find the right format to convert the videos so they work!
My import settings on itunes are : AAC Encoder: iTunesPlus (128kbps (mono)/256kbps (stereo), 44.100 Khz VBR optimized for MMX/SSE2)
I have VLC to convert the videos to m4v format but when I load them into itunes and then into my ipad, they show but the playback is choppy and no audio.
If anyone out there can give me the right formula to use in my VLC converter I would appreciate it:
Encapsulation- MP4/MOV
Video-
Codec: H.264
Bitrate: ?
Frame Rate: ?
Resolution: Width: 1280 or 720?
Height: ?
Audio-
Codec: MPEG 4 Audio (AAC)? or MPEG Audio?
Bitrate: 128?
Channels: 2?
Samplerate: 44100 or 48000?

I am having the same issue using VLC 2.1.3 - video conversion from mpg to mp4 won't play in Quicktime and are choppy when played back on my iPad Air. I don't use iTunes to upload but access them directly with FileBrowser App.

HT1657 rented video won't delete from my ipad even after I watched it.

My kids rented and watched a video on 12/24 and it still appears on my itunes under rentals. I can highlight it but it won't delete from my itunes or my ipad. When I go to play it it says it cannot be opened i'm thinking because it has been watched and is expired. Any ideas on how to remove it from my ipad and my itunes?

Hello techno-man
Try dragging and dropping the music on top of your iPad to sync the music over, also ensure that you are syncing the recently added tracks.

Correct video encoding settings to play on ipad?

Here's the settings that my dvd ripper (iskysoft) used to convert a home movie DVD to an "apple TV" format file
file type: .mp4
format: xvid
resolution: 512 x 384
frame rate: 24
bit rate 1500
This file plays fine on the apple tv and itunes, but not on my ipad. It will sync and transfer but when I try to play it on the ipad the video is all messed up.
I tried using the "convert to apple tv/ipad format" but itunes said it was already in the correct settings.
What specific setting do I need to use to convert this file so it will play on my ipad?

These are the required specs.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format.
I use HandBrake which includes default Apple product settings such as iPod with Video, iPhone, Apple TV, and it includes a Universal setting.
Some have reported that using the Handbrake Apple TV setting works, but some have reported it doesn't. I haven't read any reports about the HandBrake Universal setting not working with the iPad.

How do I get embedded videos in Keynote to play on iPad Keynote?

I've created a presentation with Quicktime video clip on my iMac desktop and imported it for use on my iPad. This is done through iTunes and has worked before, but the message shows that the media did not transfer. When trying to show it from Keynote on the iPad, it won't work. I'm wondering whether finally connecting ot the prject would work, but that doesn't seem logical. Any tips will be of help.

If you have a 6G Nano, then no, it does not support video playback.

Audio from video won't stop playing in the background

I have series of youtube/mp4 videos on the timline and navigation to go to different timeline navigation points.
When I play the video it works fine but when I click on my navigation to go to another navigation point the audio still plays in the background.
I made sure to turn off my content dropzone by each point but it still plays. the only way that it stops is when I manually hit pause or stop before clicking my navigation.
Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening?

I figured out how to reset the Youtube video upon hiding thanks to Heathrowe's answer and FigFrance's contribution to the thread found here:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/4979969#4979969
The secret was adding .empty() to my video container. Here is my functioning button code:
Show Video:
//code to embed youtube into symbol
var youtube = $("<iframe/>");
sym.$("video").empty().append(youtube);
youtube.attr('type', 'text/html');
youtube.attr('width', '640');
youtube.attr('height', '360');
youtube.attr('src', 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/MyFv6UKsW70?rel=0');
youtube.attr('frameborder', '1');
youtube.attr('allowfullscreen', '0');
// Show an element
sym.$("video").show();
Hide Video:
sym.$("video").empty();
// Hide an element
sym.$("video").hide();

Error message this video can not be played on iPad using you tube

Why do I get this error message when using you tube and how can I solve it. It just started happening recently.

There are a few possibilities I can think of.
A) file names are too long. What is "too long" for an iPod? I don't know, you'd have to experiment, but some people with outrageously long file names were unable to sync the file over.
B) Something in your conversion settings is incorrect. The iPod is pretty specific in what it will accept.
http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html
--this seems unlikely if you've used the iPod defaults in each of the programs you've tried.
C) Are you certain that you are asking iTunes to sync the iPod-compatible videos to the iPod and not the original videos? In other words, you've converted your videos, removed the originals from iTunes and imported the converted videos into iTunes to sync to your iPod. The original videos and the converted videos might have the same name.
D) various strange problems happen when updating iPod firmware and/or iTunes. If you've done the 5 R's (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/), then you may need to consider downgrading the iPod software and/or iTunes. Remember that in the 5 R's, "Restore" deletes your content, so be sure to have a backup of your iPod content. I believe downgrading firmware will also require erasing your iPod, too.

Is there a reason why this video won't load/play ?

I use a Macbook OSX 10.4.11 and Safari 3.1.2 All apple updates installed.
I want to watch this short football video but when the page loads all the vid screen shows is a black square for a second and then just white. There is no picture or sound at all. Now is it that the vid is not compatible with Safari/Mac or am I missing a plug-in ?
Have Flash, Quicktime, realplayer andWin4Mac installed, do I need something else ?
This is the vid link.

Sorry, I got the name wrong in the original message, I have Flip4mac installed.
I think that there must be some sort of conflict between the settings/preferences for the different players. I will have to swop and change and see what happens.

Can a one please help me turn off auto play for Facebook the option is no longer in my General settings why is this ?

Can a one please help me turn off auto play for Facebook the option is no longer in my General settings why is this ?

And yet the link you posted only tells you how to do it on the Facebook App for Android. Nothing about the Facebook page is mentioned at all, or how to do it on an iPhone.
With that said, and assuming you have the most up to date version of the Facebook App, you can now turn the auto play feature Off within the Facebook App itself. Tap on the "More" icon on the bottom right, then scroll down to Settings->Videos and Photos->Auto Play. If Smart auto-Play is on turn it off. Then you can set the check mark on "Never Play Videos Automatically" which is the same as Off.

Video from iPhone won't play on iPad

I received a video from iPhone in an email but iPad won't play it? Any way to get it to play on iPad.

I appreciate what you are both saying -- but it is not the music that is the problem. The video itself is NOT blocked - you can view it on a computer -- but when you try to view it on ipad/iphone the message says, "not available on this platform". Here is a link to a video I did in Elements 9 on Tuesday:
http://youtu.be/06TaM22SkdE
Here is the link to the video done last night in 11:
http://youtu.be/h353KBGkodU
The "raw files" are both adobe flash.flv -- it's just not making sense...
Thank you!!!

How do I un-embed a video? I deleted the youtube video from ibooks author on my iMac, but it won't delete from the ipad ibook view. It shows up in my book as a blank bar until I tap it, then it plays the video.

YouTube Videos and others won't play on iPad mini after upgrade to iOS 7.0.2, any suggestions?

I upgraded my iPad mini to the iOS 7.0.2 software and now videos (YouTube, USA Today, etc) won't play. I have already done a restart (holding down the menu button and on button) and eern after restart, videos won't play. Any suggestions?

when u do a restore it deletes off everything on the device, including software. then it reinstalls the software from a new download package. this will ensure ur device isnt getting the same glitch in its system that ur current software has if that is the issue. when u restore from the backup u made AFTER uve done the 'restore ipad' that will put all of ur stuff back onto the ipad. i would suggest deleting off the youtube app b4 doing the back up and then readding it after the restore and restore from back up phases. if all of that doesnt work, youtube is the one with the problem and u should contact them.
