Video not playing on iOS devices

Question

I have created a web service for listing all videos of a user, I used Django and Django Rest Framework to create the web service. The URL of video is like this:

http://example.com/media/2015/04/uploadedFile_e0pmVxB.mov .

Following is the response from web service:

{
    "status": 1,
    "message": "successful",
    "result": [
        {
            "user_id": 17,
            "receiver_id": 27,
            "video": "/media/2015/04/uploadedFile_e0pmVxB.mov",
            "thumbnail": "/media/thumbnails/844702.jpeg",
            "timestamp": "2015-04-23 09:02:27"
        }
    ]
}

This video URL is working in Android devices, browsers but not in iOS devices. I have tried using different players in iOS, used different video codecs, still it's not working. What is missing here and is there anything that i have to do in the web service?

Any help is appreciated...

Answer 1

Django cannot stream video files directly, which iOS requires in order to play them. You need to make sure that your proxy server (Nginx/Apache) is handling the media directory.

iOS will send a Range header, so only part of the file is requested. Because Django will ignore this, it will usually not allow the video to be played.

Answer 2

The problem is media files is not served by apache server.Try by changing your configuration.

Answer 3

尝试使用H.264编解码器将视频转换为mp4。
