00:00Welcome back! So this is our last video for now on videos and audio in general
00:06and I wanted to talk about basically something really important. So if you're
00:10building your applications to be mobile applications, if you're trying to get
00:15your application to work on the iPad and iPhone and different Apple-y pads
00:20out there, you want to make sure that you put your Apple source element to be
00:25first when you're creating things dynamically. The reason is because Apple
00:30has a bug or at least had a bug until iOS 4 which was fixed in iOS 4 that it
00:35would actually only read the first source element and if there would be any more
00:39further after that it would ignore them. So if you put your non-Apple compatible
00:44source file first then your application would cease to work for users of
00:49browsers in iOS below iOS 4. With that said, also another tip is when you're
00:56working with Android. So basically with Apple just make sure that in general
01:00that you put your Apple file if it's the H.264 or your MP3 file to be the first
01:05thing in your source elements if you're not building it in JavaScript
01:09dynamically. The next thing is in Android devices there was some issues
01:13with the type in general so if you want to make sure that it works on
01:17Android under 3 under 2.3 you would actually not even put the type and just
01:22put the file type without setting the actual type itself and let the browser
01:26so basically if you're doing the AUG you would just remove the these lines
01:31to make sure that it would work also on 2.3 and below also on 2.3 until 2.3
01:38at least the controllers the building controllers for the players did not work
01:42so it in general it's a great idea for you to create your own custom
01:46controllers and we've learned already how to create custom controllers in our
01:49video course and in this one as well so I do strongly encourage you to create
01:53your own custom controller because that would also solve issues with older in
01:58the way kind of like browsers that were in the process of upgrading to HTML 5
02:03video and audio to support to have better support for your functionalities
02:08as well with that said I hope to see you back in our next course and I'm
02:13happy that you watched it and thanks for watching and I hope you give us a
02:16great review because that helps us and motivates us to create more content
02:20thank you very much to the loop
