Issues in showing video stored on server on iphone

[roger_iphone]

Hi,

I have a query regarding showing a video (which is stored on server) on iPhone.

I want show a video in an iPhone Application. This is not live streaming.

I have seen the Apple Sample code for MPMoviePlayer. While the locally stored video works fine, there is problem while showing the video stored on server.

I have saved videos (in .mp4 and .m4v formats) on a server. But when I pass the URL to MPMoviePlayer, The player shows the screen with "Loading movie.." for around 15 sec and then comes back to earlier class without showing Video. There is no error message.

What can be the problem? Should the videos on the server be encoded in some format? What all steps need to be taken on client and server side?
The Videos on server will be around 1hr long.

Is there any sample video URL which I can use?
Thanks in advance..

Without you actually posting some code, it's hard to answer your question.

But try this: Can you play this movie in safari on the iphone???

Hi,

I am using the standard apple MPMoviePlayer example from Apple.
I am not able to see the videos on a link (The streaming part of the application).

Some videos I tried were not opening in safari.
Can someone provide a valid video URL with required encoding?

Or is it related to the internet speed on iPhone?
Do I need Wi-Fi Only?
