inline video on mobile OS

[hangdai]

Hi Armin, hi Forum!

First thanks for your great work on this Theme, just got into it but already really enjoy it.
I have been wondering about the possibility to auto play html.5 Video as an inline element on contemporary mobile OS. As far as i know this feature is available with the release of iOs 10.x.x and on contemporary Android?

Right now it seems to me that in mobile Layout it will online play via play Button and open in a separate playback screen on black background.

Are there any plans to feature this or any possibility to achieve this in the current LAYtheme status?
( If so, sorry i didn't find it ).

Thanks a lot!
Rory

hey hangdai!

Yea I heard of autoplay for html5 videos on mobile too!
For iphone I tested it and it seems when there is an autoplaying video, it will open in a separate playback screen on black background. On android I saw that it autoplays "in a good way". Let me test this again and then I might include it.

Edit: Ok so I tested it and it works pretty well, on iOS it also works as an inline video. But it only works if the video has no sound or is muted.

Hey Armin,

thx for your swift response. we used it on adbk-nuernberg.de ( Andreas Faust developed with us ). it works well on mobile Safari and Chrome on IOS as well as Andriod on current level.
