Videos not playing from Safari via iPhone

I

iMore Question

I used to be able to watch videos from various websites (i.e. CNN) but now when the video comes up I get the 'play button' in the middle of the screen but there is a line thru it which will not allow me to view the video. If I am connected to a WiFi network, it works fine.

First of: how is your LTE signal? Secondly - have you changed any settings where it would limit video playback to Wi-Fi?

LTE signal is strong. 5 bars. I have not changed any settings. What is strange is some websites I can watch videos, but try watching any video from CNN and I get the play button with a line thru it.

The reason you are having trouble is because they use Flash on their website. You can download their free app or a browser that is flash-capable.

Puffin is a great browser to use to watch your news clips etc that need flash to operate
You can find it in the App Store
