pressing play opens second window on iOS


Using the embedded player with URLs for streaming.

Works fine on PC/Mac/Android.

When the play button is clicked on an iOS phone. It opens in a second window rather than just playing on the page.

That is the expected behavior, iOS always opens videos in their native player.

Not really, two things come to mind though. iPads and iOS applications that contain a webview, if I’m not mistaken that might circumvent it but then we are not talking web we are talking native iOS development.
