Android should "just work" but there are some regressions since I last tested it, from what I hear. Hopefully we can get these examined and fixed soon.
There are some possible things we can do launching files in the VLC app for iOS; some clever JavaScript could make this experience smoother. I plan to do a little more research when time permits (after Architecture Summit this week). There are some vague ideas jumping around for linking a proper WebM video player into our iOS app, but we haven't committed to such a thing yet. -- brion On Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 12:31 PM, Andy Mabbett <[email protected]>wrote: > [cross-posted] > > Following discussion at: > > < > https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#FLAC_on_Apple_devices > >, > > about the difficulty of playing Wikimedia audio and video on mobile > devices, we've added red links to: > > <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Media_help> > > for iOS and Android. > > I'm sure some of the readers of these lists have the requisite > knowledge, to populate those pages; so please do! > > The issue arose during a project I've been running with the BBC: > > <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:BBC_voice_project> > > in which they've released clips of broadcast material under open > licence, for the first time. > > Assisting mobile users to play our media more easily will lend weight > to future requests to them and other archive holders, to release > audio-visual resources under open licences. > > -- > Andy Mabbett > @pigsonthewing > http://pigsonthewing.org.uk > > _______________________________________________ > Mobile-l mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l >
