UPDATE: After downloading the latest Windows build (3.2.2), encoding a video using baseline 3.0, and uploading that video to our test environment, the latest video DOES play on OSX/Safari as well as iOS/Safari on iPhone 6. I think the only solution is going to be to pester our corporate overlords to upgrade ffmpeg on the servers. Thanks for all your help, and sorry if I've wasted anyone's time on this.
Having problems getting videos to play on iPhones (have only tried iPhone 6 so far) and on Safari on a MacBook. These videos play fine on Android devices and on IE11/Chrome on Windows, also on Chrome/OSX.
FWIW, this is the video player:
<video style="width:480px; height:320px" controls preload >
<source src="my_source_variable" type="video/mp4" >
</video>
Here is my current encoding:
ffmpeg -y -i #arguments.input# -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -profile:v baseline -level
3.0 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac -ac 2 -strict experimental -b:a 128k -s 480x274
#arguments.output#
And here is a sample ffmpeg output:

As I'm a total novice at this, I'm just been relying on my Google friend for suggestions. The above encoding was a suggestion from
What ffmpeg command line produces video more compatible across all devices?
and is used as suggested, minus the faststart flag. EDIT: I removed faststart because encoding failed with both "faststart" and "+faststart". Sample relevant output:
[mp4 muxer @ 0x75d200] [Eval @ 0x7ffc607b1ae0] Undefined constant or missing '(' in 'faststart'
[mp4 muxer @ 0x75d200] Unable to parse option value "faststart"
[mp4 muxer @ 0x75d200] Error setting option movflags to value +faststart.
I'll continue to search and experiment while waiting for the answers to come streaming in ;-) but the only clue I have right now is the "Incompatible sample format" warning, which, as it's only a warning, probably isn't that important.
When I inspect the network traffic in Web Inspector, I see that the status, size, and transferred fields are blank. There are no console errors.
Also, when I try directly accessing the file in Safari on a MacBook, it won't load, but it will in Chrome.
P.S. as noted below, our ffmpeg is ancient; I have no control over that.
EDIT: per suggestion, added -an flag; still doesn't play on iPhone; moving on to -vn flag next;
ffmpeg -y -i #arguments.input# -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -profile:v baseline -level

Why no faststart? And your ffmpeg is ancient. – Gyan – 2017-02-03T19:06:42.230
@Mulvya, I pulled out faststart because a) our lead tech doesn't want autoplay and b) I'm pulling out my hair trying to figure out the problem. As far as ffmpeg version, I'm aware but have no control. – earachefl – 2017-02-03T19:21:25.530
Faststart is not autoplay. It simply places the index at the head of the MP4. Try skipping the audio
-an– Gyan – 2017-02-03T19:47:39.803@mulvya, any chance the audio settings are the problem? I have to use -strict experimental because it's so old... wonder if the other settings are the problem. Also, see my update re: not playing in OSX/Safari – earachefl – 2017-02-03T20:10:54.100
Nothing in the output looks obviously wrong, so some trial & error is required. So, try without the audio by adding
-an. Then without the video-vn. – Gyan – 2017-02-03T20:16:21.533You're wasting your time (and ours) using such an old build. Why do you have no control over that? Also, your old build is showing

There's no need to compile to get a new version, just download, extract, and execute.@LordNeckbeard, sorry to waste your time. I'm in a corporate environment where I have no control over server resources. Trust me, I'm not happy to struggle with this either. I'm also a new hire so have no clout. – earachefl – 2017-02-03T20:53:27.107
Your ffmpeg is so old that faststart hadn't been added yet. Even though you can't upgrade ffmpeg, run your command with and without faststart on some other machine with a recent ffmpeg build to diagnose the problem. – Gyan – 2017-02-06T16:10:39.700
Didn't you say you have a Mac? Can't you use Homebrew or something to install a proper build of ffmpeg on your Mac and convert the file there, at least for this experiment? If that makes all the difference, you can walk down the hall and slap your server admin with your success. – Spiff – 2017-02-06T17:18:38.730
@Spiff, response from our tech lead re: upgrade: "We would need a write up on why the current version works and what specific version is required. However, from what we are told <our company> can only get software from a <company>-approved store, and what we have is the newest version available from the repo's that meet that requirement. So if what we have will not work then we simply cannot continue. To get the latest version it has to be compiled by source and they will not do this. Anything else has to be justified and <our manager> would have to escalate this through management." – earachefl – 2017-02-06T17:28:01.603
So even your Mac is locked down and you can't install an open source software package on it yourself? Even one that shouldn't require admin privs? – Spiff – 2017-02-06T18:00:57.880
