Mobile Theme with Youtube Link on iPhone (webkit)
-
Hi, I am trying to help out some friends with their page. They seem to be running into a weird very localized kinda display error only in the mobile theme on phones (tablets display the full site and do not have this issue). The error has been noticed on iPhones running iOS 6.0.1/6.0.2 with Safari and Chrome. Running Opera works slightly better. Also the issue sometimes will present on Android based phones with no flash capability.
The issue itself is when the browser attempts to load a youtube based link or embed the embed will fill the page in an endless loop and make the video impossibly tall. It will show a black window then eventually reload to white then back to black. During the color change process the page seems to be dynamically making itself longer making it impossible to scroll. In the full desktop version the website will load fine on any system but on the mobile versions it will do this. It will even load normally on desktop browsers pretending to be mobile browsers. Is there something that should be done to the embed code to prevent this?
So far I have disabled and re-enabled plug-ins that seems appropriate regarding iframes, youtube, and anything mobile related. Turning off the mobile theme in jetpack seems to let the phones load the full site normally. I have only spent about a day and a half attempting to troubleshoot but this is where everything has led me.
If you would like to see the issue for yourself check out this page here:

Again this issue will only present on a mobile device as deemed by jetpack to be a phone.
Hopefully, you can help.
