In my Windows Phone application I'm loading a html site into a view, really simple stuff with this method:
var itemView = view as NorwegianBrowserView;
var webBrowser = itemView.browserContainer;
webBrowser.Navigate(new Uri(_globalAccessObjects.ActiveNorwayLink,UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
The site loads everything except a video clip. Or well it knows the video is there but it just shows a black square. And pressing that black square does nothing.
As i side note i can add that i got the same application for iOS and Android and they both got no problem in loading the very same website(+ they load the video). And here i can press the video clip and it will start playing.
Am i loading the website into my view the wrong way? or does microsoft.phone.controls.webbrowser not support a video clip?
Any help is much appreciated.
The ability to play video clips in line in a web page is dependent upon the version of Windows Phone you are running on and the format of the video.
Only Window Phone 8.1 supports playing video within a page. Unfortunately this isn't yet widely available.
Even then the video format may still be an issue and if not supported could lead to a placeholder image being displayed.

We're having issues with auto-playing the videos at the bottom of this page on Safari, both desktop and mobile:
http://dev-doublespace.pantheonsite.io/work/kdc-one/
The videos don't appear or play on the initial load of the page. If we click "Show controls", then the controls for the video appear, but the videos aren't available and the sizing of the video window is not correct (screenshot below). If we choose to copy the file address, then the proper mp4 file address shows. However, if we "open the video in new window", or re-load the page, the videos then appear and play as expected.
We assume this is some type of caching issue, but can't be certain.
This site was built on Wordpress and is being hosted on Pantheon. We have the Pantheon caching tool enabled. We're using the Beaver Builder page builder to maintain the page content.
If anyone has any ideas on what might be happening here and how we can resolve this, that would be greatly appreciated.

The video appears to be playing but not in full until the play button is clicked on. But I want to target the video and be able to add this to my script but there are instances where there are more than one in a webpage e.g.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html, if you scroll down the page.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated thanks
I'm building an application which plays videos using the YouTube iframe API. You can see the application here.
I've run into a weird issue where the player works ok in Chrome/Safari but won't show the video correctly in Firefox (I'm using FF22 on OSX 10.7.5). You can click the play button and hear the sound but the video never appears.
Anyone got any ideas what might be wrong?
Some Observations
You can see the YouTube branding (which is part of the player) so it's there, it's just not showing any picture.
According to #ceasar in the answers, the player works on Win 7 FF22. I have another report which states that it also works fine on Ubuntu FF.
If I open up the FF developer console and click various nodes in the DOM tree of that window, the video will appear. Try clicking div.show-details to see this effect (It's under body > div.wide > div.show-details )
There is a transparent overlay over the video but I'm setting ?wmode=opaque on my iframe (like this question suggests) so that should be ok.
This question suggests that setting certain styling rules such as border-radius on the iframe can mess with it. I'm not doing anything like that.
In FF the youtube logo isn't showing but working okay (win7 FF 22). Also in the other browsers I cannot click on the youtube logo. This is against the youtube TOS and you could be banned for this so be warned
I'm wondering why the video capture button is always grayed out (disabled) when using the both the Camera Capture Task and the Photo Chooser Task with ShowCamera = true;?
I've tried to find ways to enable it, but without any success.
I'm developing for Windows Phone 7.5.
Thank you in advance!
It's greyed out because Camera Capture and Photo Chooser both only support single images, not videos.
If you're looking to capture video, take a look on MSDN here:

Actually you can :). Here is the tutorial for that:

I'm developing an application that has to display some html content that contains an html5 video (no flash/silverlight plugins). The html and the video are playing fine in safari, but when displayed inside the webview in my application i get a black box where the video should be. But the video seems to be playing, because if i click fullscreen, the video goes fullscreen and is correclty displayed, and also the audio is present, in fullscreen and non fullscreen mode. It seems like the video is played behind the page.
Maybe i'm missing something as a newbe?
does anyone has an html5 video correctly displayed inside a webview on a mac os x 10.6?
Thanks a lot!
