Hi Kyle,

It’s actually an iPhone 3GS. So not as old as 5 years yet. 2010 model.
I can play any video, it’s just if the original is HD and I convert original to H264 it won’t play on it, even with 480p.

I am able to play with Wowza on the same phone, so probably some code.
but when I looked into the specs, baseline, 3.0 but the audio must be 64K.
Could be that.

Anyway, I’ve been experimenting a bit, If I upload a 5.1 surround sound video file, it always fails to encode.
I would probably need to add more commands maybe?.

Here is the log:

I hope you keep updates now and then when you have time, it’s a really good plugin. I can’t find any other WordPress plugin that has these features.

Thanks,
Jason.
