videos not playing in Xcode simulator

Our mp4 videos play properly on the Tiggzi test site (using Safari on a Mac), although when I create the Xcode version of project and test the videos within the Xcode simulator they won't play.

What's even stranger is that a version from a few weeks ago does work in the Xcode simulator, but a recent Xcode Tiggzi creation doesn't play in Xcode.

How did you add the mp4 video to your app? The Tiggzi test site - is just opening the app in the web browser (so there is really no Tiggzi test site).

This is our OVCN app. We added the video tool, then mapped web service responses to the url and type. We're playing .mp4 videos in the player. You can see this within the recorded/on-demand screen (yeah the live link goes to the web, but the recorded link goes to the video player screen).

Correction, the app is called Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene

any update on this dilemma? The video plays fine in the Tiggzi tester, but when the Xcode is exported, the video won't play in the Xcode simulator. Have any ideas?

Thanks,

Steve

We couldn't get to play the video either. It only plays in Safari browser. We tried playing it directly on Mac and Linux, but it didn't' work either. It's probably the type of file format, HTML5 audio tag plays different formats on different platforms/browsers.
