Emailed video plays on iPhone, but web download of same video does not play
I have an MPEG-4 video (mp4v format is all I can tell from VLC or QT Pro). If I email this video to myself on the iPhone 3G, it downloads from the mail server and plays just fine. However, this same video will not play via HTTP on the iPhone 3G. I have tried serving it from a PHP download script and just accessing it directly from a web directory.
Any ideas why the same file would behave differently when playing via these two different invocations? Does the iPhone require the file to have some kind of embedded streaming information to be played via HTTP?
take a look through this forum, and you'll see a couple of users that had to change the .htaccess on their webserver in order to stream video files.

I install an old version of itune since the new version does not sync with my iPhone but the old version I installed did not play rather it says that it can't read a file 'itune library .itl' written by Newer version of itune how do I installed this old version to work
You need to restore the pre-upgrade backup of the library file in the manner shown in Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

i have an iphone 4s. I can take a video and play it on the 4s just fine, i have always been able to down'load to my pc and view videos with no trouble. But since mid-october 2012, when i download the video to my pc, and try to play it, same as always, I am getting only audio and the video part is black. I can hear everything happening, but no picture. any thoughts?
Try updating to QuickTime 7.7.3. (That has helped a few people who were getting that when trying to play the videos with version 7.7.2.)

RFC works but web service for that RFC does not work..weird??
hi all,
I created an RFC enabled function module to create a Sales Order in SAP CRM for both for Varinat Configurable and Normal Materials.
The RFC Works well...if i test it..it creates an order and if i go and check the sales order in CRM GUI. i find that sales order is perfect with the configuration data for the configurable items..
Now i created a Web service for this RFC by calling the Web service creation wizard.
Now i am testing the Web service in SOAMANGER T-code and the sales order is created and weird thing the configuration data is missing for Varinat configurable item..
But i dont encounter this problem if i am testing the RFC directly
What could be wrong...why is my web service behaving weird?
I am dying to find this out..did any body enocunter this situation befor ..please helpSure Oliver..
I put a break point using external debugger and when i was testing the Web service in SOAMANAGER..
i could then land into ABAP debugger.
There in my RFC i put a logic such that i diffenetiate between VC and Non-VC items and fill the Charateristic Values only if it is aVC item.
I saw that the IF condition was not executing as they suddenly changed the material structure in ECC and it reflected in CRM.
SO i am inputting 18 digits of material no like '000000000000000001' for '1'...but the if condition was checking against 1 =1 so that loop never executed and chara values are not getting filled.
But if i test RFC in se37 ..it works as i am inputting 1...
Since Web service works with XML (WSDL) need to be very careful with the format in which data is inputted and the format in which the logic we wrote in RFC works.
Once again ..thanks to all people who helped me with the answers...

Hello guys,
I have posted a H.264 video clip on my website. It's size is 31 MB. It had played great when I was testing it from my desktop, but once I post it, it does not play. "Q" logo shows up, then the very first frame of the video shows up, but that's it. It does not start to play. Here is the link:
http://www.icebergfilms.com/Video_files/demo1.mov
Any idea what I do wrong?
Thank you so muchHi Kirk,
reason I am doing all these conversions is to achieve the smallest file possible for internet streaming in shortest period of time. I am exporting my video from Final Cut Pro timeline as QT movie. Then it goes to Compressor to be converted to ProRes to make it progressive and to change frame size. Resulting file goes to Compressor again to be converted to H.264. ProRes is an intermediate codec saving a lot of compression time.
I am trying to check settings during last conversion (from ProRes to H.264): Make it Fast Start and change the audio to AAC. But even though resulting file shows that video is AAC, the file is not any smaller at all. And video does not upload any faster with Fast Start on. So obviously, I am doing something wrong. -
Video does not play: "Either windows doesn't support the item's file format......"
Error message
"Either windows doesn't support the item's file format or the content doesn't match the extension"
I have both a Yoga and a Thinkpad 2. The Yoga is running Win 8 and the Thinkpad 2 has 8.1 Preview.
I have copied multiple video files which are in either .avi or .mp4 containers.
Some will play and some will not. I have installed all sorts of codec packages and players and the problem is the same. I though it might be a container problem so I tried to convert the file and the converter I used did not work.
Searched the Internet and nothing really useful was found.
Then I discovered a common thread. In the files that played, the codec information displayed when checking in properties and the ones that did not play, did not have the information.
I have a video file on a USB flash drive and checked the properties and the information was there and I could play it from the flash drive. I copied it to my desktop and the file would not play. In checking, the codec information was not present.
There seems to be an error in copying files where the requisite codec information is not being transferred.
I have tried this multiple times and multiple permutations of transferring. Sometimes it will play from the desktop and will not play after transfer to the microSD card.
Each time when it plays, the information is there and each time it does not play, the information is not there.
SalThe problem is the period at the end. This system assumes it
to be part of the url. I should have put a space and the end of the
url before using a period to close the sentence. try this one:

Quick time does not play in windows home 7 premium
when i try to open a video in a certain website, my browser stops working, and the website closes out. i was able to successfully download quicktime 7.6.9, but it does not play the video in my browser. i also downloaded safari and that does not work. i have a pentium R dual-core CPU [email protected]
This problem is usually associated with an mpeg-1 that has a bad timecode due to being incorrectly merged from shorter mpegs. Often this freeware will repair it if you use the timecode correction item in the menu. Mpeg StreamClip
Another alternative is to view the mpeg with this freeware viewer, which is not as picky about files meeting standards: VLC -
I downloaded a sd video on my iPad but I can't download the same video on my iPhone. How do I download it?
Hello Ross,
Past purchases can be downloaded directly from the iTunes Store to your iPhone. The following article provides step-by-step directions for doing so.

I have download a video on my iPhone but want to watch it on my iPad which both are connected to the same iTunes account but it hasn't shared to my iPad !?? When I try to download on my iPad says I've already purchased and would I like to buy again ?
Movies are not part of the automatic downloads feature. Apps, music and books only.
If you live in the U.S. you can download many Movies again for free using the same Apple ID that you bought the movie with. If you do not live in the U.S, that feature is not available. Not all Movies are available at this time either.
You can transfer the movie to iTunes on your computer and then sync it to the iPad if you like. -
My new iPhone 4 will not play on the iHome iP1 Speaker System. I have removed the case and seated it properly and it charges, but does not play music. How can I get it to work?
Hi there Graham!
I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Hello.
I have synced my iPhone 4S with iTunes and I got an error while copying one movie. Now this movie shows up grayed out in videos on the iPhone but NOT in iTunes. Hence, I cannot delete this partially copied movie from my iPhone. And since it is grayed out, the right-to-left swipe does not work. I have resynced with "no movies" option so that every movie would be deleted and indeed every movie was deleted except for the problematic one. I rebooted the iPhone several times in case it was a glitch. No success. I even tried tools like iExplorer and DiskAid but I cannot find this **** file. Is there any way to delete this partially copied file from the iPhone without having to restore it?
Regards,
HawkeyeQHi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

I use my camera for video and photos. When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play.
Does anyone know how I can make this work?Yvonne-
I haven't tried videos on my camera yet. Do you use the Videos App to play them? I don't think they will play in the Photos App.
If yours are in a format that is not in Vazandrew's list, you may need to sync them to your computer and convert them to M4V or MP4 format. You can use a program like HandBrake to do the conversion. <HandBrake> Once converted, you can sync them back to the iPad and they should play.
This may not meet your needs, but the alternative appears to be getting a different camera. I don't know of another Video App that might work.

Hey, i have an iphone 4, and it is upto date, the problem is that my phone does not play any videos online except on facebook, all other videos do not play instead a crossed play sign appears on the video. Please help.
I watch YouTube videos on a regular basis - mostly with the YouTube app but also with Safari.
Some YouTube videos are supported to be viewed on a computer only or with a Flash capable device, which is becoming few and far between since Adobe no longer supports Flash on any mobile platform.
Sometimes I get this video cannot be played on this platform, but rarely. -
I just set up my Site 5 email account on my iPhone, but there is a delay of over 2 hours for the iPhone to receive the emails. Can anyone provide a solution to this problem?
Hey Garlicdaisy,
Thank you for the follow up.
With iCloud, you can have iTunes automatically download new music purchases to all your devices the moment you tap Buy. You can also access past music, movie, and TV show purchases from any of your devices — wirelessly and without syncing.
For more information, see the following:
Apple - iCloud - All your music on all your devices.
http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/itunes-in-the-cloud/
To download past purchases on your devices, follow these steps:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you want the benefits of iTunes in the Cloud for music you haven’t purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution:

Stupid Question I took some video on my iphone but I did not flip the phone horizontally - have I screwed up the sizing and it will never import into imovie to edit it?
You can do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
Window -> Show Movie Properties
select "Video Track"
select "Visual Settings" from lower window
check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
FILE -> Save
You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21859
Also, MPEG Streamclip can rotate video while maintaining the aspect ratio as well as the interlacing when converting to DV, which is what iMovie prefers as an input:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
There is also a plug-in for iMovie from GeeThree called rotate/scale that might do the job:
