Hi, some videos don't play in the iPad App. For example "The basic element of space in chess" or "How to exploit a space advantage - part 1" (part 2 plays fine). What happens when a video doesn't play is that the screen slides down to reveal the video controls and then immediately slides up again, so I find myself back on the screen with a list of videos. I have only noticed this recently, but I should also say that I am only now heavily getting into the videos. Do you have any suggestions? Many thanks for the great videos! P.

And now I notice that some videos are squeezed horizontally, like "Amazong games for beginners - attack on the king side part 1". This video is still more or less watcheable, even if the chess board no longer looks squer but rectangular. Thanks for your help, P.

Hi Philoupin,

It sounds like the iPad app might be struggling with certain video formats or resolutions, which could explain why some videos play fine while others don’t. Sometimes updating the app, clearing the cache, or reinstalling can fix these playback issues. Another workaround is to try watching the videos in a browser if the app keeps failing.

For people looking for smooth video experiences or advanced editing features, apps like https://caapcutmodapk.com CapCut Premium APK show how optimized software can handle different video formats and resolutions seamlessly. While it’s not a direct fix for the iPad app, it’s a good example of how robust video handling can improve overall playback and editing reliability.
