Stopped site working in Chrome on Mobiles

Worked okay on on desktop but on Chrome on mobiles the front page did not download photos and FAQ Responsive plugin stopped expanding.

Decent – but

For the web page from a PC this worked really well. But the autoplay didn’t work for iPhone (safari or chrome) Secondly, it puts a “FlowPlayer” logo onto the screen that is very intrusive for mobile

Best and simplist, Love it

More useful and beautiful UI than almost every other similar plug-in, only one thing how can I get rid of the watermark, is there a pro version to purchase 🙂
