Why does the player look different on mobile?
« on: August 02, 2013, 11:18:41 pm »
Everything about this plug-in is great except for one thing. On a computer the audio player looks really nice and it has a loading bar going across the whole length of the screen. On iPad and mobile phones all there is is a little teeny tiny play arrow in the top left of the screen. I don't think people are even going to notice it's there. I understand that for mobile it defaults to the HTML5 player, but why does it have to look like that? Is there a way to modify it?

The mobile HTML5 player is generated at the local browser.  There isn't really anything we can do to change that.

This will change in PowerPress 5.0 if you configure the MediaElement.js player. Otherwise, the only other way to play media on mobile is to use their native HTML5 player, which looks different on each device/platform.
