iOS video object, how do you stream a movie?

[Xeeko]

Hi

I'm trying to use the iOS video object to stream a file, but I can't get it to work. In the box that says file name or URL, I set the URL to the video, and it's checked to play at start, but nothing happens. I've tried to stream both from youtube, and an uploaded mp4 from my own server. What am I missing?

Do you put http:// at the beginning of the url?

[Xeeko]

Yes, I put the full url, in this case: http://www.jm-j.com/introlowq.mp4

Youtube videos should not be playable by iOS, but mp4 should.
Maybe a mime-type problem?
Can you check on your Mac (or PC) if the Quicktime player plays this video, directly from the server?

I did, and it does.

eeee, does it work in the simulator?

the IOS webview extension also plays video, at least youtube. check out the thread - http://community.clickteam.com/showthread.php?t=65895&page=5

Couldn't get it to work in the simulator either. I'll take a look at the webview.
