Apache :: Playing Video On IOS8 Device / HTPasswd?
Dec 5, 2014
I run some tests with an Apache 2.4.10 running on W2k3 Server to see if Videos are playing well. The site is protected with .htacess/.htpasswd for now. I use jwplayer as player. The videos run fine on FF and IE, but as soon as I want to play them on an IOS 8 device (Iphone, Ipad), it doesn't work anymore. The message I get is "File cannot be played". The odd part is - when I remove .htaccess/.htpasswd, it works immediately. IOS devices, or is there something specific to be set to make this work? I logged in to the site with user and password, which always worked flawlessly. I assume it's not an Apache problem, since it runs fine on FF, but maybe someone here is aware of such a bug or something.
i have installed ffmpeg + mplayer +flv and all other codecs in my dedicated box and even converted a sample video to flv. but how to i play the video in the clients browser? should i call mplayer from php.
just cant seem to understand this. i am planning to start a video website
I am trying to find out how many 3 minute videos can be stored on a dedicated server that holds 500GB of Disk Space and how many videos can be viewed at the same time if it has 1500GB of Bandwidth.
We are starting a user-generated site that will potentially receive a lot of videos and someone is trying to persuade us to use a media platform that charges based on views instead of a dedicated server. They are saying the server will not hold many videos nor will large amounts of videos be able to be viewed at the same time.
I am have trouble using .htaccess and .htpasswd to password-protect a directory on my web server. How do I use .htaccess and .htpasswd to protect a directory?
So I have a script running on my apache that catalogs pictures and clips. All the actual video files are located on a separate drive which is mounted in to a folder in my site. I've set apache as the owner and have the correct permissions on the mounted folder but I'm getting Forbidden errors accessing files even when on html file in the mounted folder.
I know it's a permissions issue at the disk or mounting level. The way I mount is by using this command:
is it possible to set Auth .htpasswd if a specific file and not the directory. example admin access [url]and a Auth User/Pass window appears. I need for /sec/ to be unprotected for image loading so a complete directory protection is not an option.
Leaseweb where is the cancel server link hiding on your website? I want to cancel my server, but conveniently that link to download the cancellation form is broken. Come on Leaseweb
Having trouble hosting Macromedia Breeze files on a brand new dedicated 2003 NT box.
Anything I need to adjust?
When someone visits the URL, it loads the presentation main screen, but it's supposed to auto-play several movies and it won't. It works fine locally and on 2 unix servers I tested it on, but not the new NT box.
The weird thing is, if I remote desktop to that server, I can't play that presentation locally or server thru the linux boxes. I figured it was an extensions thing, but like I said the intro still does appear, and if I go to Adobe.com and play a new "Adobe Presenter" presentation - it works fine.
how to optimize a server for playing flash videos?
Here is our website: operationsports.com
In the right menu you'll notice an embedded flash video player.
Often, we receive complaints that our videos are buffering slowly at the beginning causing the movie to stop/pause for a few seconds. After this pause the remainder of the video buffers lightening quick.
I'd like to remove the pause if possible.
The server is a dual processor linux based server dedicated entirely to our video files.
It has plenty of power.
how to optimize a server for playing flash videos smoothly?
we had a problem playing values my.ini file located in C: Program Files (x86) Parallels Plesk MySQL Data..not keeping a copy of the old configuration and that there is now not working properly. What is the configuration which is by default or tell me how I can generate it again?
the subject pretty much sums it up, is there a method or solution for multiple websites (whic reside on the same dedicated server) to share just one .htpasswd, or automate the mirroring of said .htpasswd file?
if so any suggestions for methodology or products that would facilitate this action would be most welcome, thx in advance friends..!
I have SSL enabled site on IIS.I want to access it from my PocketPC(Win mobile).But when I try access it, I have been prompted to install a certificate.
Unlike when I try to any HTTPS site (Banking sites) I have never been prompted to install any certificate.
Why am I being prompted with security message with "Yes,No,View certificate" options on it every time I try to access my own server(desktop) via my WIN mobile using active sync. Unlike When I try to access banking site(https) I was never ever prompted a mesage like above.
How to have same functionality for my application also?
I have a Dell LTO-4 tape device, its not an autoloader, just a single drive.
When backing up using NTBackup, the backup to the first tape is sucessful, however, the backup wont fit on one tape, so it prompts me to tell me the media is full.
I insert new media, but NTBackup doesn't notice its there, so i go to Removable storage, click libaries, right click the tape drive, and click inventory.
This makes NTBackup detect the tape, and asks me if i want to use it. I click yes, but then i get an error message come up saying it was unable to mount the media, invalid command, and the following gets logged to the report:
Code: Cannot locate the specified media or backup device. This backup operation will terminate.
----------------------
Cannot locate the specified media or backup device. This backup operation will terminate.
----------------------
Cannot locate the specified media or backup device. This backup operation will terminate.

I have read many microsoft articles that explain tape drives having problem with automated backups because the user inserts a new tape, but ntbackup isn't aware of it. But that seems to be related only to scheduled unattended backups.
In this case its when the first tape is full and it prompts me for the second tape.
Is there a program to find out the MAC address of a particular IP address? Have been having some problems lately with some of my IPs and clients using unauthorised IP addresses which the ISP is hopping on me about it.
I have tried things like
In LINUX nmblookup nslookup
In DOS nbstat
but can't get the MAC of the particular IP I am looking for...
I just found the following KVM over IP device with 16 ports:
[url]
You can get it for 747 € ( plus VAT ) and it comes with 2 CPU cables. Each additional cable costs only 5.80 €. For 828 € you can manage 16 servers, 52 € per server.
So I can see this is on device 64768, but how do I get from there to knowing that 64768 is really /dev/sda1, where in this example, I know the file actually is?
Overall, I want to resolve from the filename which device in the output of iostat contains that file - I don't necessarily have to go through stat, but it looks like a promising starting point.
We have a customer requirement to enable Direct Push email on our Outlook Web Access servers to a number of mobile devices the customer will be supplied from Vodafone - running Windows Mobile 5
Therefore we need to create a public HTTPS address to allow access to the OWA/OMA part.
We do NOT (at this stage) want to allow general access to OWA over HTTPS (we have an eGap solution with RSA for this) so we need to be able to lock down access to the OWA server only to specific devices. One way would be to use Firewall Rules at the Outer DMZ and lock down by the IP ranges of the phone but thats prohibitive to other devices and will fail when the phones change IP (i.e. international roaming)
Therefore Im wondering if we can use self signed SSL certs where there is no trusted CA provider (if there was all browsers would simply be prompted to trust the source and then get access). If we use our own self signed certs and have them installed on the client devices would this work? What would be the downsides (i.e. less cryptogrpahy without the CA part?)
what network device would suit our needs (and whether there is something like what we need).
The device should meet following criteria:
-it should appear as one device only: a L2 switch is not an option as the device has to announce only one MAC address on the uplink port
-plug&play: a gigabit L3 switch is not an option because we would have to change the default gateway of the already configured servers to the L3 switch's IP
-gigabit ports
Is there any reliable device that could be used for this purpose?
I was just upgrading my system packages using up2date, and got this error...:
