Thanks for the reply. I have has it tested on various iPhones running various versions of iOS, various iPhones, on wifi, and on the 3g network, and can duplicate the issue on all of them. If you view my site at http://noahsdad.com/ I have tested it on the iPad, and it does seem to work, which is strange. It seems like it wouldn't matter since they are both running iOS.
The other thing that is strange, it seems to happen randomly. 8 out of 10 times it won't play, then it will. It also doesn't matter if you view on the home page (other videos showing) or on a single page (with just one video showing.) It happens either way.
Thanks.
