Ruby on Rails

Makes no sense, as long as the <video> content is displayed properly
in the html that is generated, it doesn't matter if its rails, php,
python, java, or anything else serving it. browsers read source code
as it is. Rails has nothing to do with your video code.
Here is some sample code of a basic html5 video I use with fallback
support to a flash player for legacy browsers. Do some testing, first
load it in an html in your public folder, if it plays fine in modern
browsers, great. Then load it into a html.erb in your views folder,
make sure everything is routed correctly and configured in your views/
controllers appropriately. If it will load in safari, it will load on
your iphone/pad fine. The below code I've tested and used on all apple
devices, android devices, safari, firefox, chrome, and even older
browsers will default to the fallback flash player, send me a message
if you still don't get it. Remember, it is good practice to code mp4
for webkit browsers, ogg for firefox/opera, and flash flv for IE &
older browsers.

code =>

<video width="741" height="320" controls="controls"
preload="auto" poster="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.png"
