Play Video on iPad

Hello All,

I want to play a video (mp4, webm, etc) and have my video setup to begin when the play button is tapped. It works as intended on all platforms EXCEPT iPad. As you may know, iPad ignores videos without playback controls and iPad is ignoring my Play button. How can I get iPad to think there are controls or add controls so the video is not ignored? I've searched for a "video player control" type plugin but no luck.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Slight update:

When I publish the same video from Tumult Hype Pro 3.5 as HTML5, upload to my web server the video DOES play fine on iPhone and iPad. When I publish to HTML5 from Construct 2 the video will NOT play on iPhone or iPad.

Any ideas how I might get this video to play publishing from Construct?
