When I upload a video file (in MPEG4 format) to the static area, only the first several seconds will play in the video control appearing on the page.
This happens whether I use an auth.wiki() provisioned page, or if I simply embed a <video ...>...</video> tag on the Welcome index page. I've tried both video files I've created, as well as some simply downloaded from YouTube and uploaded into the static area from the "designing" admin page. On the wiki generated page, I can put in a URL for an external site and it streams perfectly. However, when I looked at the page source, that link was using an <iframe> tag rather than a <video> tag. The same behavior is exhibited whether I use Chrome or Safari (since Firefox has known issues with MPEG4 files), and whether or not I'm using the server only on "localhost" or within my lan from another machine. This is the only problem I'm having - and it's a rather serious one, since the project I'm working on uses many, many videos. It's a deep-dive self-guided technical presentation that will be used by a large development team. At this point, I've made no mods to any code at all, with the exception of putting the URL into the wiki page (as: http://HOSTNAME/MyTest/static/testFile.mp4 ) or embedding the same filename as the src file in a <video> tag in the default_index.html page for the Welcome app. I'm running web2py Version 2.5.1-stable+timestamp.2013.06.06.15.39.19 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.4. The installation was simply to unzip the download into the Applications folder. I'm starting it from a shell using the command line "python web2py.py" so I can see any possible output. I'm using python 2.7.2. Thanks in advance for any help. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
