Problem playing HTML 5 m4v video

[fertilepress]

I don?t have a Nexus 7 tablet. I received a support request from a customer who cannot view my videos on her tablet. Here?s a link to a sample video.

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

well that is apples format so i would say that either it needs to be converted to another format or download one of the players from the play store that supports the format

Thanks for the response.

The format is actually mp4 using the HTML 5 video tag. It's not proprietary to Apple. Will the Nexus tablet play mp4 videos? What format do they have to be?

Oh well that is a different thing then, I was going by the file format that you have in the title. I cannot speak specifically to the N7 but my SGS3 plays them just fine

Thanks for your help. My customer installed Firefox on her Nexus 7 and the video plays fine. Weird.

Thanks! What is the default browser for the Nexus 7? I thought it was Chrome. If so, I have no idea why my customer couldn't get it to show.

Hi. The default browser is Chrome. Your video also loaded and played back fine for me, using Chrome. However, after it completely loaded (the progress bar filled up completely), the video didn't start automatically. I had to press the tiny play icon to get it going. Maybe your client didn't notice that.

By the way, your promo was well done. But it's funny how sometimes the hardest part of a project isn't the production, but the distribution. I was in the media duplication business for more than two decades, so I became quite familiar with the frustrations of producers after they worked so hard to create an excellent presentation, only to run into problems with getting it distributed to the audience.

No problem here using the Dolphin browser with the agent set to iPad.
