Revolver Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Vimeo videos simply don't show up, and YouTube videos don't work because there's no plugin. To be honest I think this has only happened since the iOS 6 update, I don't think it has much to do with TF but I thought I'd make it known anyway.

Jake. Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I can see youtube videos on my Galaxy S3, but never Vimeo videos. I've never been able to see vimeo videos with my old iPhone either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 It's not TF, it's iOS 6. Vimeo and YouTube used to work perfectly, but embedded videos are now seen as flash and don't go to the HTML 5 versions which is utter-and-absolute-shite. I've been a fan of Apple for a while and worked on them exclusively throughout my career, but they're really pushing things with this useless update which has done nothing but make what was a fairly ideal phone for me a relative piece of shit.

Azarathal Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Since the TF update I haven't been able to see vimeo at all and it makes me miss out on a lot of video's because when I go onto my laptop/pc the topic is marked as read and I ignore it. I'm still on some variation of ios5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing you didn't save SHSH blobs to allow you to downgrade iOS to a point which you were happy with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I don't even know what SHSH blobs are so fairly sure I t'aint saved them. I was genuinely very happy with the last version of iOS 5 - did everything I needed. I've never know an update to take away so much functionality and give you absolutely nothing in return. The fact i'm saying it, even makes me realise how shit Apple are being. I've never been a fanboy but I've always purposefully picked their products as it suited what I wanted from a phone/tablet/computer, but there has been a genuine monumental step backwards with this update. Simple things like if I was browsing TF before and I sae a youtube video - one tap and I'm watching it full screen, one further tap and it's being air played on my TV. Now I don't even see them, or i'll get redirected to the app - have to tap play, then tap full screen (which defaults to portrait mode), double tap to access the screen lock, tap that, rotate phone, then what's that? Oh I can't airplay from the app. I'm not the biggest nerd when it comes to phones etc but when I was so used to a way of operating that I thought was great functionality wise, to now be given a much, much shitter experience is overly noticeable and leaves me at a loss as to see how this is development?

Luke Rainbird Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Saving your SHSH blobs basically allows you to run a firmware that you've previously been using even after Apple stop allowing it, with the ability to downgrade to a previous iOS after trying an update (in most cases) Worth considering in case they put out a decent iOS you're happy with again in the future - unfortunately you need to save blobs for each device else we'd be able to share and downgrading would be an easy option.

Revolver Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 The vimeo video doesn't appear. The youtube video did play, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Gosden Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I have a 3gs and that manages to play 90% on youtube video's and a few vimeo one's so im guessing it must be becouse of the IO6 update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I have been Running a dev preview version of iOS6 for about 2 months now and i havent had a problem with videos on vimeo or Youtube at all. However Im still running the iOS6 Golden Master Version of the Dev Preview so i wouldnt be able to tell with the final version. My version runs ever so smoothly Got iOS6 GM Version and you'll be sorted Run that until Apple sort their shit out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 The vimeo video doesn't appear. The youtube video did play, however. Ok, I blame iOS in that case The embed code for videos is so simple now it'll be up to vimeo or apple to fix it. I'm refraining from upgrading my iPad..

I'm refraining from upgrading my iPad.. Do. It's bad enough on an iPhone but I mainly use my iPad for watching videos and Airplaying etc, so if I was unable to see embedded videos and airplay them then the iPads usefulness would be fairly diminished. After all on an iPad what are you gaining with iOS 6? An Alarm clock..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
