Hi,
the University of Onabrück is proud to announce that the Matterhorn 2GO
App is now finally accepted for iOS too. After some month of additional
development we have accomplished that the app is now fulfilling Apples
guidelines. Now you can finally watch lecture recordings on recent
iPhones, iPads or iPod touch.
For general information about the Android and iOS app you should visit
our website [1]. Or you can go directly to the iTunes app store [2].
The Android and iOS versions are nearly identical, but the iOS version
has the restriction that videos can only watched on wifi [3].
Currently only recordings from Osnabrück are available there, but we are
open to add additional Matterhorn servers to the list. If you want us to
add your Matterhorn Server:
1. Be aware that your recordings become public available. We currently
don't support a login, so if you have used the authentification in
Matterhorn 1.2+ only your public recordings will be available.
2. Your Matterhorn server must be reachable from everywhere. If it's
restricted to your local network only we can not accept it.
3. You must use RTMP-streaming. For an unkown reason the iOS version
currently only works with streaming (the Android version is fine with
progressive download too).
4. We recommend that you use the "encode media in different qualities"
workflow, as we would then use the low bandwith videos, which load much
more reliable than the default size.
If all conditions are okay for you please send me a mail with the URL of
your engage server, the name under which we should list it in the app
and your contact details. We will check then if everything works as
expected and add it to the list of available servers.
Regards
Rüdiger
