HTML5 Video on iPhone 5s Not Working.....
HTML5 Video on iPhone 5s Not Working.....
I posted this in another section of the UMS forum - thought it should be here....
I am using Chrome Browser on all of my devices (WIndows, IOS, Android, etc.)
The HTML video playback works perfect on Chrome WIndows - no issues.
But when I use Chrome on IOS or Safari on IOS which do exactly the same thing (There is no Firefox - at least for now - in IOS) the video won't play.
I will try to describe what I am seeing on my IOS device with html 5 on UMS 5
Here is my test case:
ON Windows 7 PC (Server Side)
1) Start UMS v 5 on windows PC
2) UMS default configuration EXCEPT I set:
a) Default Renderer when automatic detection fails: iPad/iPhone
b) Force Default Renderer Checked.
ON WINDOWS 7 PC on same network as UMS_PC (Client Side):
1) Using Internet Explorer or Chrome or FireFox navigate to UMS_PC_IP:9001
2) Result from 1 - Default initial web page for UMS displays on Windows Browser
3) Navigate to Recently Played.
4) Result from 3 - Preview tab List of recently played videos are rendered.
5) Click on a video (In this case it is the Wildlife horses scene that comes with Windows 7 on Server).
6) Result from 5 - Black Video playback window renders with the following buttons:
a) In Video play back window: Play Button/Scene Slider/Time/Volume/Size
b) Below Video Play back window: Back (greyed out)/Forward/FLASH
7) If I Press the play button OR just wait for about 5 seconds the video plays fine.
ON IOS DEVICE (iPhone 5s/IOS 8.1.2) on same network as UMS_PC (Client Side):
1) Using Safari or Chrome or (No FireFox on IOS - yet) navigate to UMS_PC_IP:9001
2) Result from 1 - Default initial web page for UMS displays on IOS Browser
3) Navigate to Recently Played.
4) Result from 3 - Preview tab List of recently played videos are rendered.
5) Click on a video (In this case it is the Wildlife horses scene that comes with Windows 7 on Server).
6) Result from 5 - NO Black Video playback window renders:
a) There is a VERY large PLAY button rendered.
b) Below the VERY large PLAY button there are 3 Buttons: Back (greyed out)/Forward/FLASH
c) There is a curved DOWN arrow that when pressed renders a new screen
d) New screen shows the following HTTP address: UMS_IP_9001/raw/122
e) There is a image of a file graphic with 122 below it and the text "Cannot Determine file size." and a DOWNLOAD tab
f) When I press download a color circle appears in file graphic as file is downloaded to my iPhone.
g) File downloads
h) once finished downloading I can select it and IOS asks me what I want to "Open In".
i) I select an app that I have called "File Manager" and the file is copied to that location.
j) I once in File Manager I cannot do anything with the file......
Needless to say - the results are MUCH different with Chrome/IOS than with Chrome/Windows.
Am I doing something wrong ???
Are there any settings I can change in UMS on the server side ???
Please help me !!!
Thanks,
