Hi,

Here are where my Videos are for now ...

https://www.dalekelly.org/weblog.html

I have an iPhone 17

On both Safari and Chrome browsers only arrows show up to click on.

On Windows with Chrome or Edge the start Video pictures show up.

Anyone know how to get the pictures up instead of the arrows on iPhone? >>>

As is often the case Stackoverflow has the answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71545595/video-tag-not-showing-preview-on-iphone-all-browsers-and-also-not-working-contr#78092946

Or, instead of the above hack, you could specify a static image using the >>> poster attribute of the <video> tag:

Thank You !

Looks like I can do it !

W3 Schools is good for me to work with too !

You're welcome.

Checked this on Amazon Silk Browser.

Silk Browser is on an inexpensive FireTV I have, $140, 37 diagonal inches.

When I scroll down the HOME page to the two centered videos, the top
video starts on the left and then centers automatically.

The FireTV doesn't have much room for all possible apps to be installed.
If it gets over filled I get an alert to delete some apps. Don't know if
this is the cause.
