Greetings!
We've got a working installation with Aruba Controller version 6.1.2.6 and Amigopod 3.5.1 with Advertising Services.
Now - we want to show a Youtube video during self-registration as an interstatial page. I've created the material as Youtube Video and while it works well for PC and Android devices, it doesn't for iPhone and iPads. For iPad the page just wants to me to download Flash Player, while on iPhone there is the typical image for lack of Flash (crossed over playbutton).
This is an excerpt from the Advertising Services Deployment Guide 1.3:
As the playback of YouTube videos requires a Flash player plugin, some
users may not be able to view a YouTube video. Even though the iPhone
does not support Flash, it does support YouTube videos.
That clearly says this should be working, or am I interpreting that text the wrong way?
I believe Advertising Services doesn't implement either the detection script nor the youtube embed/iframe correctly. Looking at the sourcecode it definately looks this way...
They should just leave the detection to youtube. Found this snippet posted from youtube a year or so ago:
An enhancement to our video embed capability is now available through a new embed code style. This new style uses <i-frame> and looks like this:
<iframe type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" frameborder="0"></iframe>

And now while writing this - I checked an Amigopod demosite and fond the same issue there from my iPad, meaning it's alteast not our implementation that is faulty. Surf here from a iPhone or iPad: http://demo.amigopod.com/demo/bk/logina.php and you'll see.
Anyone got a workaround, or is this something I should open a ticket and call a bug or missing feature?
Thanks!
