HTML5 <video> Element Not Displaying Controls on iOS - how to to Play Video
I've been banging my head against this for hours. I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. I'm working with an scenario where the HTML5 `<video>` element is not displaying controls on iOS devices, specifically iPhone 12 running iOS 15. I have the following markup for my video: ```html <video id="myVideo" width="320" height="240" controls> <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> ``` However, on iOS, the controls simply do not appear, and tapping the video does not initiate playback or show any options. I’ve checked that the video file is correctly hosted and accessible. I’ve also tried adding the `playsinline` attribute, but it still doesn’t resolve the scenario: ```html <video id="myVideo" width="320" height="240" controls playsinline> <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> ``` Additionally, I ensured that my `<video>` element is contained within a responsive div that has no CSS properties that would hide or obstruct the controls. I tried adjusting the CSS styles as follows: ```css #myVideo { max-width: 100%; height: auto; } ``` Despite these changes, the controls still do not display. When I check the console for any errors, I see this warning: `The video playback was aborted due to a lack of available system resources.` But, there are no other errors present. Has anyone else encountered this scenario? What might be causing the controls to not display on iOS devices? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on a service that needs to handle this. I'm working on a service that needs to handle this. Am I missing something obvious? For context: I'm using Html on Ubuntu 22.04. Thanks in advance!
