Youtube Videos are not displaying on iphone and ipad

[adeel80]

Hi,

I'm on 4.0.8. youtube videos just show as blank on iphone and ipad. Kindly someone help.

iPhone, iPod & iPad do not support flash.

Youtube embedding is flash..

Flash doesn't work on those, but YouTube should through their respective YouTube applications. You should at least be getting a clickable thumbnail or link that opens in the application or website.

How come the other youtube videos play fine on my iphone and ipad but not the ones posted on my vbulletin forum?

Please someone give solution, I am losing a lot of audience due to this.

YouTube uses alternative means to make their videos play on devices without flash support. You can try updating your embed code to see if it matches what YouTube currently uses.

Go to Styles and Templates --> Search in Templates --> Search for "video" and open the bbcode_video template.

Search for: <vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'youtube'" />

And replace the old YouTube code with:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/{vb:raw code}" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>

Thank You so much. That worked. How about other Video formats, how can I do the same for them?

If Vimeo is still using Flash for embedding, then there's not really anything you can do.
