How to show videos that can be viewed on an iPhone?

Use <embed></embed>.

That doesn’t seem to be working. Here’s our code and here’s the web link. As you can see the video views fine on a desktop browser but cannot view it from iPhone safari.

I wonder if your server is sending the correct MIME type for .m4v files? Have you tried using .mov or or .mp4? They may be more widely supported by servers.

We’ve tried .mov but apparently iPhone safari can only read .m4v (emphasis on ‘apparently’)

Not according to that documentation page. I double-checked.

Also, we have other .m4v files on non-wp parts of the site that the iPhone can view.

I just tried on another site I have, on another server. The first one is Bluehost.com and the second one is 1and1.com

Both can be viewed by desktop browser, neither can be viewed by iphone safari.
