Another iphone also iphone 5 is still working and can stream because I haven't updated to IOS. What's the point of having and IOS device if I can't use it anymore. Yes I always had the Mercury browser which is puts all and leaves safari and chrome in the dust and I can work with it. Google's chrome vent kaput in the same time because probably uses safari's settings and protocols just like in windows chrome uses IE settings.
It is important for me to play these file from withing my home network and from away from home through safari.
Both my iphone 5 and ipad 3 cannot play anymore mp4 or mp3 or anything anymore. I made the mistake to update from IOS 7x to IOS 8xs now.
These are now my go-to alternatives for playing music off my server."Īlso I couldn't try Safari on Windows because that's been discontinued for over two years :-) The only two browsers I tried that worked for me were Mercury and Dolphin. Atomic did not have the authentication issue, but there was a separate issue where when it played the media there was no sound. With Safari not working in iOS 8, I tried Chrome and Opera but they seem to share the Safari web view and behavior. This is a problem for me because I have always used Safari on my iPhone to play music off a server of mine. The in-browser media player does not seem to share the browser’s authenticated session. In iOS 8, Apple introduced an issue in Safari where media files stored behind HTTP basic authentication cannot be played. Apparently it's a known issues because one of the app reviewers says: Hi Jemster - I just tried another free browser on iOS, the "Mercury" free version and it works fine. (Is there really no iOS 8 forum? all I could find was iPhone or iPad) I've searched around but can't find anyone complaining of the same issue? Has nobody else noticed this? Any ideas on a workaround or should I submit to Apple as a bug? Webkit bug or Quicktime bug? Before anyone asks, yes, these videos are in a valid mp4 format and 100% did play until I upgraded to iOS 8. I've even tried installing Chrome thinking it's a Safari bug, this will get around it, but no. I updated to iOS 8 and now, all that happens when I click on the link is a new tab opens, and the video instantly doesn't play! I get the white circle with a 'play' arrow symbol inside it drawn in white on a black background. I have a folder with a series of mp4 video files in it and could browse to this folder using both my iPad and my iPhone to play the videos without any issue. I have a NAS (Netgear ReadyNAS Duo) in my house with a basic webserver running on it.
