I am having a stange behaviour with Vimeo, and I don't get what's going on...
I uploaded a couple videos, using a "plus" account". Everything worked out fine. BUT... Then I wanted to embed the videos in another website. Using the official "Iframe" method. And all I get on page load, is a black screen, instead of the video thumbnail... When I start playing the video, it works, but on load, all I get is that black screen.... It is like that visibly on browsers using the flash version (FF & IE) but I do get the good thumb on non-flash players (like chrome).
Am I doing something wrong ? What's even more strange, is that if I take any other video, not mine, and embed, it works perfectly, I get the thumb.
My video, Embedded : http://www.unpeuplusnet.fr/embed.html
Thanks for any possible help, my website should go live tomorrow !!

Edit : I just tried using the old Flash embed version, it does not work any better...

Sorry, it was a bug on our end. Should be working fine now. I'd recommend keeping the iframe embed.

Using froogaloop (the js api provided by vimeo) I was able to play two videos at the same time on desktop and android phone but this isn't working on ipad.
It's a video of someone commenting the first video so I also need the first video to be muted (also ok on desktop and android phone).
On ipad, it seems like the first video shortly enters the playing state and stops when the second starts, as if there were an hard-coded limitation on the player that prevent both videos from playing at the same time.
Ipad is also the only platform where I see the "undock" button, which could explain the hard limitation.
Is there a way to play 2 videos at the same time, one muted, the other at full volume ?
First, vimeo has relased its new api recently and froogalops won't be maintained anymore, yet still working. I' don't know wether this release brings any changes in respect of ios
Second, your question is not super clear to me, as it seem you manage to do what you wanted, except on ipad (what ios version and what about other ios devices), while your title and your bottom line is
Is there a way to play 2 videos at the same time, one muted, the other at full volume ?
and not ? Is there a way to play two vimeo video at the same time on ipad or ios ?
Third, vimeo provides the posibility to add autopause=0 in the url of your embeded video, this prevent the vimeo video curently playing to be paused when another one is started.
It works on desktop and android but haven't tried the behaviour on ipad yet as Ì don't have one in hand at the moment.
Finally, after some seach, it seems that this question may be asked regarding ios at large, and not solely ipad, and in this respect this post might be usefull for you
Not sure if it helps, as your post is 7 month old, but if you provide your code I may give a second try.
Cheers
Today I've met an unpleasant issue. There is a website with a custom HTML5 audio player. After the page loads, I try to echo document.getElementById("myAudioId").duration, it is needed in order to make navigation possible. In every other browser it works just fine, the duration is showed, but IE11 works differently - it shows that duration equals Infinity. But as I noticed, when the song is buffered to the end, the duration magically appers and the navigation works. In other browsers everything works from the start. The content-length headers are set up. What could it be?
UPD: Other sites with HTML5 audio let me see the duration from the very start. The duration, I guess, is part of metadata and could be loaded even without preloading the audio file using preload="metadata", but it also doesn't work.
UPD2: I've also tried playing around with jsfiddle and created the same audio tag there with same MP3 audio - there was the same situation. But then I've inserted link to another MP3 there, from another site - and it worked!. More than that, I've uploaded this second song to the first problematic website and after that the song that worked perfectly couldn't also show me its duration and stuff. So now I think it's something on server side. But don't know what it is.
UPD3: Finally, I've been told that files are converted using FFMPEG to MP3 128bit, then they stop being OK. Now I need to find how should I convert MP3s so they are OK.
It works for me locally, but when uploaded to server, it does not.
It seems that player.duration do not work in IE 11:

So I was recently trying to learn html5 stuff and got to the audio tag. It seems to work just fine on my PC's browser, Chrome, but not so much on my android (4.0, using both the stock browser and dolphin). It will play the audio once, but never again. Take this site for example:
http://www.stefanvignir.de/rimshot/
Very basic, it has a button that plays audio every time you press it, but not on my android. It only plays the first time you press it. How do you get around this? Just wait for mobile browsers to update?
I heard a workaround is to set audio.currentTime = 0; but that didn't seem to solve anything.
Apparently you can reset the source (audio.src = audio.src) and that will allow you to play it more than once, but it has to re-download the file. A workaround, I guess, but not acceptable.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
this works in desktop and andriod browsers for multiple presses - and you can wrap in a div etc for styling:
<a onclick="this.firstChild.play()"><audio src="1.mp3"></audio>play</a>
More than just the audio tag so you have more control over what the play button looks like. If you need more buttons you can change the code for pause etc
I've been trying to work on a project to he able to turn loop on and off for the MP3 playing on a we page. I was using <embed> and tried changing the loop= property using a javascript getElementByID, but while the image swap would work, the song would still stay on the mode it was on at page load.
Someone else used the idea to use the <audio> tag, and made a togglefor loop=, and said it worked. I tried, and would not work. I went and tried on an example site, and it worked for OGG, but not MP3.
I researched it, and the only thing I could find was that Firefox didn't originally support MP3s due to LAME copyrights/patents, but started supporting the MP3 format in version 9.
What's even stranger, is that sometimes the player controls show up, sometimes they don't. I have random other information show up on the page on load, so can't say if it's random when it shows up, or related: but even when the controls load, the play button never works, and it doesn't start on autoplay. However, in Chrome, it loads up fine.
So to condense, when in IE, it loads the text to say it's not compatible with my browser, meaning I can have an <embed> for if it doesn't work: I just tried it.
Firefox, on the other hand, acts like it WILL load it, and doesn't show the alt text.
I read about some people having trouble with OGGs, talking about a MAME type, but I don't really know anything about that stuff, yet...
I'd really like some ideas on what to do about this, because it doesn't ever even show the text to say it's not supported, it's like nothing's there in FF/CB, and MP3s SHOULD be supported for the past 4 full versions, which I'm assuming is why it doesn't say it's not supported.
Firefox doesn't support MP3 in <audio>, precisely because it's still patented... I have no idea what made you think it's supported in Firefox 9.

I'm trying to play YouTube embeds using iFrames on my iPad and iPhone. However, whenever I click the iframe, the only thing that happens is that the iframe flickers. Clicking the title doesn't even bring me to the YouTube page.
However, when I go to http://reddit.com/r/videos, clicking any of the embeds there works fine. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
You can directly use the Embed tag. That might work because sometimes the iframe tag causes problems for the browsers.
it was one of the query options. i forgot which, but i just removed them all and it works fine now
