Video tags like below plays fine with iPhone, but not Android:
<video id="video" width="320" height="240" poster="video/placeholder.jpg" autobuffer controls>
<source src="pr6.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>
<source src="pr6.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
</video>
With the above code, Android can't even click the clip. It would just see the poster image.
Video tag like below however works with Android:
<video src="vpr6.mp4" poster="video/placeholder.jpg" onclick="this.play();"/>
However, I still need to multiple sources capability (for Firefox ogv support…). Below code does not work (nor do they work if I stick the javascript into the source tags):
<video id="video" width="320" height="240" autobuffer controls onclick="this.play();">
<source src="pr6.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>
<source src="pr6.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
</video>
With above code, the clip is clickable in Android, but still does nothing.
Can anyone help?
