Hello,
First of all, what a beautiful framework web2py is! Thank you!
I am having issues streaming a video file to ios devices.
The file is not the problem because the same file plays properly on
those devices when it is served by Amazon CloudFront (here is the URL
-
http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.mp4)
The only difference I can think of is 1) how web2py & apache are
streaming the file or 2) the HTTP response headers. I have attached
that info below. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks
again. -rajesh
Here is how i stream the file:
def stream():
video = db(db.pl_video.id == request.args(0)).select().first()
import os
path=os.path.join(request.folder,'uploads',video.file)
response.headers['Content-Type']="video/mp4"
return response.stream(open(path,'rb'),chunk_size=4096)
Here are the HTTP response headers from Amazon Cloudfront:
HTTP/1.0 206 Partial Content
