Newbie IT question

[Yhz12345]

apologies if this has already been discussed.

So I'm a new member here and I know nothing about technology.
I view the content on an ipad and some content is visible to me, while other content is unavailable.
why is this?
It's not critical, I'm just curious.

Seems to be common on mobile in general but same for all of my mobile Apple devices. The minute I’m on pc it’s fine. Iirc it either had to do with file types, or the player but no one as far as I know has a solution

For videos, VLC (AKA "Video Lan Client") is your friend. Plays practically any video format in use today, and there's a version available for all major operating systems, including iOS.

Although personally, the day I use an iOS device - or any other linked-to-a-cell-phone-account device - to access zoo/beasty sites will be the day they know it's time to wheel me into the Alzheimer's ward 'cause I've lost the last vestiges of sensible caution - If you're set on getting busted, wouldn't it be less effort to just paint up a nice 10 foot square sign that reads "I fuck animals" and march up and down in front of the local animal shelter or police station?

The solution is to get as far away from Apple and their abusive control of what software you're allowed to run on THEIR device.

Hi Wanda,

I most commonly encounter this issue with .avi files. .mp4 files will often play in my browser, but .avi's won't with this particular browser. Aside from the unique and characteristic tone of UR20Z, I would recommend VLC as well to play that media.
