Can't get video to play on iOS

[drejohnson]

Here's my code pen if that helps. Videogular without the Youtube plugin works fine.

@2fdevs any progress on that ?
i cant reproduce it without iOS , linux seems ok , can be some browser specific issues
i mean safari , dont know is it still on webkit or not .

Perhaps ill try in opera but FF , Chrome works fine.

It also could be an issue of z-index and play button overlay

[rubenCodeforges]

Opera works fine

As i remember, in ios , youtube iframe need bring to top to work, @rubenCodeforges Can you show we the message show in console when run in ios

[rubenCodeforges]

@NamPNQ WebGL: INVALID_ENUM: getParameter: invalid parameter name, WEBGL_debug_renderer_info not enabled is not an error, it's a warning on html5player. No errors on the console as of now. The video shows "if playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device" @rubenCodeforges we should note that we added the Vimeo support. Is there a fork everyone can try out? as per PR #45

@el-rotny ive provided guys with the code , but vimeo is not firing when we are handling a youtube url

[2fdevs]

@rubenCodeforges @el-rotny I haven't got time to take a look to this issue yet, I'm pretty busy this last two weeks at work. That WebGL error is quite weird and it looks to me a Youtube error more than a Videogular error.

Not all Youtube videos plays well on all devices, specially if it's an old video. Did you tried playing that Youtube video in Youtube website on iOS?

@drejohnson did you find a solution you can share?

[rubenCodeforges]

@2fdevs hi seems like on ios the controls of videogular are blocked and thats why we cant play the video.
A solution is to disable vg-controlls and overlay-play and other overlays , so that the youtube player is native. its a fallback but thanks to iOS devs for this sht

[rg-najera]

For anyone coming across this issue. This plugin is not compatible with https://github.com/videogular/bower-videogular-overlay-play on iOS. The protocols to play videos need to be initiated by user directly on the iframe rather than programmatically. Also, the controls from videogular wont initiate the player. What we did to combat this issue, is to hide the controls on API.currentState is equal to stop and hiding the overlay on the same state, only when on iOS. Once the video is played, the controls will be available on hover if you have that setting enabled.

Thanks @rubenCodeforges and @2fdevs for the help.
