Video links from api do not play in browser or on device

blackgold9

The following link does not play in chrome on windows, nor does it play in my windows phone, but it does play in ie9, with the quicktime addin.

Is there something i need to know about links to videos generated by getimage api (with the extras for video link).

The link below was generated that way:

http://blackgold9.smugmug.com/Religion/Videos/My-First-Project/752794465_Q749h-320.mp4

Please help!
Trying to get video playback into v1 of my smugmug windows phone 7 client.

The video you have chosen is hidden, SmugMug's in-built security prevents it from being able to play unless it's got the correct access. When your app requests the video/image, you should send a header 'X-SmugSession' set to the value of the SessionID.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

David

Unfortunately, windows phone does not allow streaming a video that requires a header to be set. I confirmed that internally. the only way for me to enable playing a video on the platform is to download it in it's entirety to local storage, and THEN play it back.

Bummer.
