Description

Because of a missing option to set the type for MediaComponents - Video / Audio can't be played on iOS devices.

If you want to enable it with the Wicket 7.2.0 you have to override the onComponentTag method:

	@Override
	protected void onComponentTag(ComponentTag tag)
	{
		super.onComponentTag(tag);
                tag.put("type", "video/mp4");
	}

I used remote debugging of iOS Safari / Mac OS X to check if all videos are playing, now.
