-------------------------------------
Thanks for the quick response!
I was able to modify Cordova's viewController such that video playback behaved
like I wanted: I edited
'(project/ios-build)/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVViewController.m' in place by
placing this snippet in the "viewDidLoad" handler:
{noformat}
AVAudioSession *audioSession = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
BOOL ok;
NSError *setCategoryError = nil;
ok = [audioSession setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback
error:&setCategoryError];
if (!ok) {
NSLog(@"%s setCategoryError=%@", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, setCategoryError);
}
{noformat}
Our videos did then ignored the mute switch as Apple's docs for
[AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback|https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/avfoundation/reference/avaudiosession_classreference/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/constant_group/Audio_Session_Categories]
describe. However, my understanding of Objective-C and Cordova initialization
is pretty much nonexistent, so I'm not sure if I'm clobbering anything else by
doing this. If I am not doing anything dangerously stupid here, I've still got
issues wherein I don't want to depend on a specific non-standard version of a
standard Cordova file. Is there somewhere i could hook in (as a plugin maybe?)
to get this code into Cordova's webview init?
> HTML5 video playback in iOS is muted by ringer switch

> Key: CB-7708
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7708
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 3.5.0
> Environment: iOS 7, iOS 8
> Reporter: Sterling Nelson
> Priority: Minor
>
> We've got a Cordova based iOS app (targeted for iOS7 and 8) that plays back a
> fair amount of media content as HTML5 video. We've been having issues with
> video not playing sound for some users. I suspect some of the issues are
> related to device ringers being set to mute (which does not seem to affect
> video playback in Safari), and would like to cross these cases out. From my
> perspective it'd be nice if behavior of the HTML5 video element in iOS
> WebViews matched its Safari behavior.
> I managed to get the behavior I would like by fiddling with the Cordova
> default view controller, but I would rather not modify Cordova's controllers
> in place (in part because it seems wrong, but mostly because we'd like to be
> able to re-build our Cordova app without having to worry about modifying
> library files.)
> Is there currently something I should configure to have Cordova just do this
> for me? I see that the Media plugin does something similar to this, but
> couldn't find anything like it documented for video. If this is not
> currently set-able, are there particular plans to implement (or never do so)?
> We're using Cordova 3.5.0-0.2.7. I'm happy to provide more info about the
> fiddling I've done thus far.
> Thanks!
