        Hello,
        I always access this site from my iPad. Since I have updated to IOS 8 I am having a problem. The first video in all the lessons won’t play. I see the red arrow in middle of screen but it does nothing. The other video ie part 2 or 3 will play from a small arrow bottom left of film. Anyone else had this issue ?. May be IOS 8 or something else ?.

        Regards
        Mark

            Alan,
            There seems to be a delay in playing the first vid. I accidentally touched the red play button after trying for some time. It suddenly started playing and have tried different lessons and found the same. The lessons underneath play straight away. It is as though the first one is unresponsive for some reason, cannot be IOS 8 then if you have the problem on old software. IOS 8 does have issues so be warned, keyboard just locked up whilst writing this message

              Thanks Mark, I am in no hurry to upgrade. The first lesson can also be found on utube. The other lessons which are for premium members are not on utube so I would assume come to your iPad from Brian’s server. This could explain why the premium lessons play Ok.

                Same behavior here. But if I tap somewhere in the image ( around the arrow ) then screen zooms and the clip starts to play. Then I can start/stop the clip as usual.

                  Must admit I’ve upgraded to IOS 8 and I’ve had no problems on here.
