iphone - HTML5 offline video caching in mobile safari

Question

I can't seem to get Safari on the iPhone or iPad to offline cache videos. Everything else gets cached just fine when I go offline. The video file is obviously in the manifest, but I just get the broken arrow. Works fine in Safari desktop. Any clues? I've tried both object embed and the video tags.

Sadly there’s a ~5 MB limit on offline cache in Mobile Safari. Not much you can do about it.
