From what I gathered, autostart won't work on iOS devices as media playing needs to be activated via user interaction. This leads to all kind of strange behaviour with playlists, for example -- I'm experiencing inconsistent firing of the "ended" event when playing mp3 files, tested with JWPlayer and pure HTML5 Audio objects.

yo can't. but you could detect the ios browser and redirect it to the video itself, causing it to start..

javascript:

function isiPhone(){
    return (
        (navigator.platform.indexOf("iPhone") != -1) ||
        (navigator.platform.indexOf("iPod") != -1) ||
        (navigator.platform.indexOf("iPad") != -1)
    );
}
if(isiPhone()){
    window.location = "path/to/video.mp4";
}

or php:

<?php
    $userAgent = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
    if(
        strstr($userAgent,'iphone') ||
        strstr($userAgent,'ipod') ||
        strstr($userAgent,'ipad')
    )
    {
        header ("Location: path/to/video.mp4");
    }
?>

Unfortunately, autostart does not work with iPhone's. This is what I gathered on some forums online.
