unfortunately, videos on the website arnt viewable on mobile, I guess ill just hop on my laptop later
They work on my phone, which is android 6.01. Well when I say they "work", you have to click them because mobile browsers won't play video automatically, even if you set autoplay to true or use javascript to play the video.
Also they don't loop on mobile because mobile browsers don't respect the "loop" setting and the javascript hack that I added to get it working the last time they broke everything seems to no longer do the trick. Instead it causes some sort of infinite pause/play loop. Maybe it's the pause/play delay I had to add because firefox processes click events in a different order from chrome. Or maybe an entire video format just doesn't loving work anymore like 6 months ago when I discovered that mp4s on chrome mobile suddenly took 90+ seconds to start playing for no reason - webm's worked fine but only if they were the first video source entry.
And this is all just win7_64 firefox, chrome, and android chrome. I have no idea what happens in IE, iOS, other versions of windows, 32 bit, or Safari.
HTML5 video playback is a goddamn nightmare. The animated GIF will never die.
