Embedded YouTube videos not appearing on iPad

[Tim Major]

Can someone who is having this issue verify that they have the latest version of IOS? Based on some brief googling, it appears that this is a common problem across VB boards, but some iphones/tablets are not affected.

FYI, it works fine under android with the default browser, Dolphin HD, and Firefox. I'm curious whether this is affecting mobile devices other than Apple.

I use Opera Mini and I can't see videos.
Someone care to make a test? (2 videos, different tags).
This could help establish a fix if both worked for some browsers.

[video] tag




[youtube] tag

I've made a few changes. Do the video tags work? Do the youtube tags work?

If the youtube tags work, I will simply disable video tags and we can go ahead continue using youtube tags like we were doing before.

I can only see the [youtube] tag in Dan's post, I can't see the first. I think disabling [video] tags is a good idea.

So over the last month I've been trying to find a solution to this. Disabling the [video] tag is easier said than done, and so far vB has been unsupportive of this. I need to upgrade to the latest vB, but the hack that is being used for the wiki would not be compatible, so I've not done this yet. I'm considering moving the wiki back to its own fresh site (not integrated with vB) so I don't have to deal with the incompatibility issues in the future.

On the plus side, I now have an android so I can play with solving this issue. For the time being, we'll have to deal with it, but I will add it to the list for when I upgrade.
