Web video troubleshooter
November 23, 2016 11:02 AM
I have a project with some background video playing on the home page, with other content overlaid on top. The video is using straight HTML5 video tags and is generally working well on the latest versions of major desktop browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome), where it loads, autoplays, and loops as desired. However, there are a handful of issues:
* it doesn't play at all on Surface (using Chrome)
* it doesn't play on iPads
* some of the video files we've tried do not loop in the latest Firefox - they DID loop correctly in FF 48, but not 50
So I'm looking for a contractor who really knows the ins and outs of autoplaying background video on web pages, on a variety of browsers and platforms (and especially Surface and iPad).
Please let me know your rate and a guesstimate of how long it might take you to troubleshoot the issues listed above.
Thank you!
