I am trying to play video files from iPhone media player in my iphone application.I am reading the stream from one Media server.
but i am getting error message as "The server is not configured correctly".
Here is my observation:
-> I kept five different video files on server.(i am sure that all of these files are properly encoded and in right format.)
-> When i try to run same video URL in Mobile Safari i works perfectly without any error.
-> When i try to run any of video it doesn't create any stream on media server.(Usually when i try to play video it create stream on media server.but here the stream is not created on server side.)
-> I tried to play this files using Apple's sample application MoviePlayer but i am facing same issue.(Here i tried to run the application on Simulator)
-> I also checked on my iphone 2G having OS 3.1.2 (jailbreak) but i face same issue.
Please let me know your response on this.
Thanks,
Jim.
You basically need a web server which supports progressive downloads. Apache does support it.
Maybe you want to try the same scenario with the videos hosted on apache.
If that does not work, do post your code.
I have figure out the solution.Actually for some links that i am getting from Server contains bad characters so the URL wasn't right one.
After correcting that issue now i am unable to play all the video file from media server.
Thanks a lot for your help and suggestions.
Thanks,
Jim.

UPDATE: I have confirmed the file is there and works, just not using the video_player. It just never initializes and when I debug from xcode, it does not throw and errors.
I am using the image_picker plugin and have modified it to pick videos as well. All works fine on initial selection of video and playing int he video_player. All work on iOS right now. However I base64 encode the video and send to server via JSON. If I decode on server and play the video via http all works fine, however client wants then videos to be synced to device for offline viewing. When I take the JSON from the server and decode and save to the Applications Directory all works fine, however video_player will not play the video, it will not even initialize the video. Is there something I am missing as it relates to iOS to get this to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
my _controller.value.intialize is false or local video from cache but for network video is true and working fine on iOS
edit:
use the recent version with the XFile type and it assign
path automatically we don't have to manage and join .. too bad it isn't mentioned in the docs
I was facing a similar issue. The video would play correctly in android, but did not even initialize in ios. Spent 4 days trying to solve this problem.
For me the root cause was that my downloaded video file had SPACES in them. Removed all the spaces with
myFilePath.replaceAll(RegExp('\\s+'), '_');
and it was working correctly.
Hi I am trying to create an iphone app that streams a video from a remote server (that automatically creates video files) , I'm using flash builder 4.7, mobile flex.
My expertise with fb / flex is not great but am getting there.
Using StageWebView I have made some progress and can stream a simple mp4 file , however the files I want to stream have the wrong extension so the iphones internal video player won't play them. I have no control over the remote server so can't change the mime type or file extensions. The files are legitimate mp4 files, if I copy one and change the extension they work fine.
Anybody got any idea how I can fool the ios video player into playing them?
Any help grateful appreciated I have been working on this for weeks and its driving me round the bend
Cheers

Ok, so I'm working on a project that will allow users to record themselves within a browser and have the video save to the server for later watching.
Right now I have an implementation where I'm using Red5 server with Red5 Recorder and that is working fine, but I'm wondering how exactly you could go about this on an iphone as that is expected to be a large user base.
As far as my research has shown there is no universal way to gather this video within the browser as there is no HTML5 solution and Flash seems to be by far the best way to record webcam to a server.
So what I'm wondering is has anybody encountered this issue and found a solution, whether it be for Iphone only, or a universal solution that would work across all platforms.
At the moment, the only way to accomplish this on the iPhone would be to write a native application. The web browser doesn't give access to the camera, and it doesn't support Flash, Java etc.
I'm trying to parse streaming video websites in order to play them in an iPad/iPhone app.
For example, in www.veetle.com, opening a channel with an iPad or iPhone you can see the video, because the code for this finds a .m3u (or .m3u8) file which can be played. But opening from a computer browser, or parsing the channel address in Xcode doesn't show you this .m3u file, it uses flash.
What I want is to get this .m3u file to be able to play the channel, I have been searching all around the web how to open a website as a mobile in Xcode, but I haven't found anything. Any idea?
Thanks.
You need to change the so called user agent string in your request.
See here: Changing the userAgent of NSURLConnection
and here: What is the iOS 5.0 user agent string?
Developer tools for safari also offers the ability so quickly change the user agent which is nice if you just want to quickly check a site: http://designshack.net/articles/developer-tools-in-safari/
Use eg this to see your current user agent: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=user+agent+
I need to stream an audio file which is saved on my server. Is it possible for me to stream that file in order to play it on my iPhone? Or is there any other way to play an audio file from the server to iPhone? help me please.
Thanks,

This link was useful to me : http://cocoawithlove.com/2008/09/streaming-and-playing-live-mp3-stream.html
He's got a project linked from that page http://projectswithlove.com/projects/iPhoneStreamingPlayer.zip
In this project, interesting lines are in iPhoneStreamingPlayerViewController.m, lines 82-89 start streaming the audio from a url.
I've manged to get this running on my iPhone and tested it using an mp3 on another server and it works fine. However, I've not picked through the code so I can't help you anymore than this, sorry!

NS To get the project to compile I had to change the SDK to 3.0 - if you right click on the project name and choose Get Info, then change the option called Base SDK to iPhone Device 3.0 and it should work.
There's a couple of ways to get the file playing on the iPhone, but the first problem is that you need to decide how to serve the file from your server.
One great way is to share the file out via HTTP using a Web Server. If the server is Windows, look into 'IIS'. If it's a Mac or Linux, Apache is your friend.
Once you've got the serving going, here are the options on the iPhone:
1) Use iPhone Safari to navigate to http://your-server/your-folder/the-file.ext. If the serving is correct, it'll open the mediaplayer and stream it.
2) Write an iPhone application that uses the AVMediaPlayer framework to play the file. Non-trivial, but there are plenty of samples.
