Video Playback on iOS

[morbificagent]

Detailed description of the problem

When you are clicking on a Video it opens it in the "bigger" (Fullscreen View) but it does not start playing.

There seems to be some invisible buttons (sometimes as gray areas on the top right and left of the Video) and if you are trying to tab on it it sometimes starts playing.

All in all starting a video on iOS isn't really possible.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Is your display wide enough for Lychee to display the previous/next arrows on the sides? We don't include them until the viewport width is over 640 CSS pixels. Those arrows have wrapper areas covering 15% of viewport width on each side and, until recently, they would cover the videos, which could make it impossible to select "Play".

The bug was fixed 3 days ago in commit LycheeOrg/Lychee-front@ab80532 so it's not included in any release. Worse, it's not clear if we will make any more Lychee v3 release as we are preparing to release v4, which can be found here: https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee-Laravel. I encourage you to give that new version a try and see if it fixes your issue. Note that the installation process is slightly more complex than with v3.

This should still work (we'll have to test it more before the v4 release, but it has worked and I don't think we've broken anything...

I'd think we'd release at least one more v3 if anything (like that) has changed, before breaking support in Lychee-front, but yeah, no guarantees at this point.

As @d7415 said, upgrading is supported. I'd suggest though that you first try a "clean" install just to test whether the issue you reported has been fixed. You'll just need to clone the Lychee-Laravel repo. It includes a precompiled front end with the video fixes I mentioned.
