Insight needed to figure out why my videos will not embed...

Hello Everyone! I must say the forums have been extremely useful for figuring out buzztouch so far and I am looking forward to using this great tool for creating an application for education. I have demonstrated what I have so far to some other educators and have had an overwhelming positive response, so thank you everyone! That being said, I have been struggling with an issue over the last week and I thought I better just ask because I'm starting feel more lost the more I look into this issue. I am trying to create an application which embeds math tutoring videos ( directly correlated to provincial outcomes) along with content to help students succeed within class. This application is loosely based on the Flipped classroom ideology and the fact that students (myself/teachers included) really need to increase access to content within classrooms, hopefully through the use of mobile devices. I have been playing around with the HTML5 screens and can get YouTube videos to embed fine by pasting the code into the source option of the WYSIWYG editor but when I paste the code at the bottom of this post nothing happens. I have no idea how to decipher the code below but I do know that this video server (Vimp Media Server owned by my school division) allows the following extensions - avi, wmv, mov, flv, mpeg, mpg, m4v, mp4 . It also transcodes uploaded media to mobile mP4, ogg vorbis video, and WebM formats. The best guess I could come up with is that is lacking flash support within the buzztouch app, because when I open the page within my phones native browser (using the menu option within buzztouch) it works fine. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated, as I am definitely struggling trying to figure this out. Do I need to transcode to a different format or is there a different code snippet I could use?

Hi! I copied and pasted the code above in a test blog and the video showed up perfect. However, if you are trying to embed this flash video embed code for an iOS app, it will not work. If you want to use Youtubes iframe for HTML5 it will work. With android you should not have a problem because it supports flash. It is Buzztouch that doesn't support flash, it is the phone itself! Good luck

I have tested the above code on multiple platforms through the web (wikis, google sites etc) and it works but when I use this code within buzztouch on an HTML5 screen nothing appears (I am using an android phone for testing). Any thoughts or could you further explain? I am really hoping to try and understand some of this as it is all new to me :) Thanks for the info so far!

Apple (IOS) does not support Flash. In that it will not play a flash video. Not a problem with Buzztouch. The iPhone / iPad can not play a flash video. I use Stream Clip and Handbrake to encode videos. Mike
