I've just installed an ant media server instance.
I've uplaod mp4 video as VoD and I've been able to see them using this code snippet:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://localhost:5080/LiveApp/play.html?name=378475861251583275889765" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
However, I faced with I was able to download the video.
I thought that when "a stream" is not able to download, it's just an stream.
I guess I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas?
EDIT
I mean, you aren't not allowed to "right-click" on video playback and just download video.
In my case, as you can see I'm able to download it.
I don't know if it's an issue related with my stream server, or it's related with player...

I am trying to display a TVHeadend stream in the browser as a pre-cursor to get this running on my TV. So I whipped up this sample HTML code where 192.168.0.4 is my server running TVHeadend and the channel UUID is 3df2b09783d8afeb8a323f5025431df7:
<html>
<body>
<video width="720" height="567" autoplay="true" controls>
<source src="http://192.168.0.4:9981/stream/channel/3df2b09783d8afeb8a323f5025431df7?profile=webtv-h264-aac-matroska" type="video/webm">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
</body>
</html>
Whether I show the HTML page locally on my computer or served via a local Apache webserver, the result is always the same: I get an emtpy video player control. The network tab does not show any errors, neither does the console. It does bring a warning however:
"Empty src!"
However the src is clearly not empty.
When I copy the src URL to my browser (Chrome) and call it, it starts downloading the stream (instead of showing it, but that might be expected). Why does the video control not seem to be able to show the video?
Do I have any other debug options I can check out? This problem has bugged me for a while now and I have tried to drill down to the source of it by removing the TV SDK and all other side code just to see if the actual video will play (which it does not).
At first I thought it might've been an authorization issue but then why does Chrome seem to be able to download the stream just fine? I have logged on to TVHeadend in the same browser (in a different tab) to make sure that a missing logon is not in the way of things.
I have also tried putting : in between the "http://" and the IP address to pass the parameters required for basic auth - but to no avail.
Does somebody have any hints as to what might be the roadblock here?
Here is the link to the bigcommerce store I'm working on. It shows background video on all the devices except IOS devices on any browser.

Looking for help in this weird issue.
Thanks in advance.
Here is the video element code,
<video id="bannerVideo" class="bgVideovideo" autoplay loop muted playsinline>
<source src="https://store-1anxrygvum.mybigcommerce.com/content/banner-video.webm"
type='video/webm;codecs="vp8, vorbis"' />
<source src="https://store-1anxrygvum.mybigcommerce.com/content/banner-video.mp4"
type='video/mp4;codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' />
Your browser does not support the video tag.

From a quick check this actually does not work on Safari on MacOS either and it does on Chrome on the same Mac.
Looking at the network traffic you can see the server responds with a '200' to the byte range request from the browser for the video, which Safari does not handle well, although Chrome does:
The most common root cause of this issue appears to be servers that are not configured to handle range requests in what Safari consider the correct manner. It expects to see a '206' response when it sends a request with a byte range.
There is more discussion and examples in the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32998689/334402
Looks like you've uploaded the video to WebDAV - just like Mick's answer, the file hosting server that BigCommerce WebDAV uses is not configured to send the correct request type that IOS/Safari is looking for when loading a <video> element's source.
When I ran into this, I had to upload the video to AWS S3 Storage. You should be able to get 5GB permanently on the free tier.
I am completely new to VideoJs and media streaming on web pages, so please forgive me if the answer to this is obvious. I uploaded an MP4, OGV and WEBM file to www.sell2trade.com.au. If you view this page you will see that the video on the RHS works in Firefox, has an unsupported error in IE11 and plays the audio only in Chrome!! I downloaded the VideoJS sample and followed it diligently (I think!!) What on earth am I doing wrong!
Thanks for any help as tearing what little hair I have left out :)
The MP4 you're using doesn't appear to be compatible with Chrome. You can go directly to the mp4 url in chrome and see the same audio-only issue. You should try a different encoder, like Zencoder (paid service that I helped build) or Handbrake.
Also it looks like you swapped out the url for the video.js swf for a different swf that plays your video. That's not gonna work. You need to use the swf that's included with video.js.
I am playing a video in my app, the video is a HLS streaming which i am fetching from my remote server. And i need a functionaltiy to take the screenshot of currently playing video but i am not able to do the same, i checked the documentation apple is saying you can take the screenshot if you are playing a video if you are playing a video from LOCAL URL or LOCAL FILE and you can not take a screenshot if you are playing a video from remote stream.
I am kind of stuck on this issue, i tried several methods discussed on stack overflow and other sites but nothing worked.
Please help,
Thanks
a question concerning Google Text-to-Speech (TTS) with PHP.
With the help of this script http://stuffthatspins.com/stuff/php-TTS/
#$this->mp3data = file_get_contents("http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=utf-8&tl=".$lang."&q={$text}");
I have been able to access the Google TTS API and download mp3 files to my server. Unfortunately I don't get the mp32ogg programm installed on my server so I wanted to ask whether anybody knows if there is the option to download a .wav file directly from Google?
Just saving the resulting file as .wav didn't work as Firefox throws me a "couldn't decode this .wav file"
I would need it for Firefox support of HTML5 Audio.
Thanks for any help!
I don't know exactly what your final goal is, but have you tried using the "embed" tag instead of "audio"?
I use Firefox and replacing:
<audio controls="controls" autoplay="autoplay">
<source src="<?=$mp3?>" type="audio/mp3" />
<source src="<?=$ogg?>" type="audio/ogg" />
Your browser does not support the audio tag.
</audio>
with:
<embed src="<?=$mp3?>" type="audio/mp3">
got it working.
Let me know if it helps you out, I would like to see the finished project.
