Tried finding/researching a workaround for this... But all forum embedded vids, which are using html5 for the forum embed, are not viewable from iPhone's... Any of em... Just called apple to see what's up... Their safari browser does not support it!

So far... The only way for it to work, is for me to embed them using my old forum style embed of [y.o.u.t.u.b.e] link [/y.o.u.t.u.b.e] <---- remove the .'s
But then you guys might not be able to see it?

The style you guys use [Y.T.] link [/Y.T.] no longer works for me...

My only workaround so far, is for me to quote your post, then search for the YouTube link, then copy/paste it into another page in my browser... It works... But damn it gets annoying! Especially when I goto a website that posts a vid, that I then can't bring up, and I can't quote/copy-paste the link...

I'm effed! Any chance the mods/admin can change the video embedding properties until iPhone figures their SH!T out? Or is the html5 better for all of you? Or does it matter for you? Has anything changed recently?
 
But apple is the best company on the face of the earth how did this happen? The end of the world is near!!!









**** apple, everything works on my droid. :flipoff:
 
I can click links... Cannot play anything embedded... All started happening when they changed to html5 crap... I can see the opening pic, and the play button.. But can't click/play it... It brings up a error message... Nothing in forums or on the web... Unless I'm in YouTube, or the app, and know what to look for...
 
try the google chrome app web browser for the iPhone and see if you can view it then...

Only way to set chrome as default is to jailbreak...

Still looking into options

I kinda am a iPhone fanboy... But whenever they make tweaks, the end user suffers... I sure love being a beta tester! Lol<---- not!

I just use the google chrome when I want to surf for things on the web..

If it is something that I visit often, then I just save it as a favorite and call it a day...

open the app, select the bookmark.. done...
 
Yup, using google chrome right now and I can see all the imbedded videos that I have tried to view so far.
 
My iPhone plays them no problem with safari. Is it a setting issue on yours. I also have the reg 4 not the S threw version
 
Chrome plays the vid... Safari does not... Will test more after I sleep a bit...

Oh, and I'm running iPhone 5 iOS 6.1
