Answer 1

You should use video tag, not iframe (only video tag has autoplay options). Check here what formats are supported by what browser: http://caniuse.com/#search=video

If you want crossbrowser solution, try VideoJS - http://www.videojs.com/ Here you can get a Rails plugin - https://github.com/seanbehan/videojs_rails

Paperclip Video Upload:

I had the same issue just this past week - Try this!

Video model:
    has_attached_file :video, styles: {
        :medium => {
          :geometry => "640x480",
          :format => 'mp4'
        },
        :thumb => { :geometry => "160x120", :format => 'jpeg', :time => 10}
    }, :processors => [:transcoder]
    validates_attachment_content_type :video, content_type: /\Avideo\/.*\Z/

Make sure you already bundled:

gem 'paperclip', '~> 4.3.1'
gem 'aws-sdk', '< 2.0'
gem 'paperclip-av-transcoder'
gem "paperclip-ffmpeg", "~> 1.2.0"

Run the paperclip migration:

rails g paperclip model video

Be sure to add in post_controller.rb:

private

    def bscenes_params
        params.require(:post).permit(:video)
    end

Upload form:

<%= f.file_field :video %>

Show page:

<%= video_tag bscene.video.url(:medium), controls: true, style: "max-width: 100%;" %>

At this point you should get this error:

Av::UnableToDetect (Unable to detect any supported library):

Go to your terminal and type in:

brew options ffmpeg

Then run the following to install ffmpeg:

brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-ffplay --with-freetype --with-frei0r --with-libass --with-libvo-aacenc --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-opencore-amr --with-openjpeg --with-opus --with-rtmpdump --with-schroedinger --with-speex --with-theora --with-tools

Restart your server and try to upload a video now! Hope this helps - Happy coding :)
