How did you encode your videos?

My Videos are in .MP4 format. My videos are perfectly working on iPad and iPhone. The Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet has Flash Player 11.1.11 and runs Android 2.3 O.S., but the videos aren't playing on it. The Mobile phone I'm using is a Samsung Dart. I doesn't support Flash. However, it will open and play videos full screen such as the one on my other site www.grapplingdummy.net or Youtube, so there must be a way to make it work in a similar way with the iGrapple.

Np. Apple removes autostart on iOS devices in html5 <video> natively, I’m afraid.

Ethan,
Can you please tell me what settings you used on handbrake to encode the http://www.longtailvideo.com/jw/upload/bunny.mp4 video?

I been trying various encodes for several days now with Handbrake and your video is the only one that will play on my Android 2.3 device with the latest JW player. It plays if I hotlink it from your site or if I embed it in my site. I'm just unable to recreate the encode settings.

The player is fine. iOS is fine. Newer Androids are fine. But my 2.3 Android will only play your bunny.mp4 video.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Dali

I didn’t encode this file, but the person who did told me the following – When encoding, please make sure you are using H.264 Baseline Profile Level 3.0 or lower with no more than three reference frames, AAC Low Complexity Profile, and an MP4 container if you want to support older iProducts. The “Normal” profile in Handbrake doesn’t use Baseline Profile H.264 so the older devices can’t decode it. Use the iPod or iPhone presets in Handbrake and they will work fine in Flash as well! Make sure to also check off Web Optimized, and iPod 5G Support! Also, please note, older iOS devices (3Gs for example), have a resolution limit of 640×480!

These work fine on my iPhone 4s, what version is your device exactly? You could also try to run the file through handbrake (http://handbrake.fr) using a preset that is specific to your device generation to see if that changes anything.

You are using V5 options here, modes, which don’t work in V6.

Reference – http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/28834/migrating-from-jw5-to-jw6

Ah, sorry. yes this is because android doesn’t support either m3u8 or rtmp…does your cdn provide you with a rtsp link?
