Video.js - Autoplay and Loop not working on phone

On a phone, there's no way you can get it to loop or preload data. But I do have a solution where you could autoplay it. You could use my code here = http://www.andy-howard.com/recreate-bbc-iplayer/index.html

And simply add an addition click function on the document ready. This would then make the browser on the phone click the image, which then in turn converts the data tags to video tags, which then converts to the videojs player, which then plays :)

Hope that's helpful.

To solve the autoplay issue on iOS, do not use the videojs options to autoplay the video.

In other words, this will not work:

<video id="my-video-id" autoplay></video>

Neither will this:

videojs('my-video-id', {
    "autoplay": true
});

Instead wait for the video object to load and then trigger the play action:

videojs('my-video-id').ready(function() {
    this.play();
});
