Videos Not Working in Preview App

[deike1976]

I've managed to get my videos working in App Studio's web previewer but when I push them out to the preview app not all of them work. They're all .mp4 files. I'm previewing using an iPad. Please help.

Ok, it seems to me that the preview app only supports one video per page, and whatever video is on top in the layers panel in InDesign is the one that will play. Can anyone confirm that? Thank you.

After a lot of trial and error I have found that I can play only one video per file on the preview application. In order to do what I wanted to do, which was play multiple videos, I had to convert my simpler videos to GIFs. Everything worked in the preview application afterwards.

Hi Deike,
I think you are using InDesign Application. Please make sure that all your videos are placed in same layer other than background layer. if you still face the problem, you please send your InDesign Document to my mail ID srmareedu@quark.com . I will verify and let you know
Thanks

Yes, I'm using InDesign. My videos are in the same layer other than background. I will send you the file. Thanks.

Hi Deike,
I have verified your InDesign document and noticed that you have placed multiple videos on same page with Auto play option. Multiple videos with Auto play does not work simultaneously on iOS. you can refer below Apple Developer link..

"Currently, all devices running iOS are limited to playback of a single audio or video stream at any time. Playing more than one video—side by side, partly overlapping, or completely overlaid—is not currently supported on iOS devices. Playing multiple simultaneous audio streams is also not supported."
