Web streaming problems with movies

Post by iHomeWHS »

Hello,

I have problems streaming iTunes movies to all web browsers.

- iHomeServer 3.1.62 on WHS 2011
(checked on test and production whs)
- iTunes 11.2
- Videos converted with handbrake
- Videos (source and converted) could by viewed with mediaplayer, quicktime and VLC without problems
- Tested on Win 2008R2 Server (english), WIn7 german
- Browsers: IE11, firefox 24.6

Cover is displayed, then message

"video can't be displayed because the file is corrupt"

on germen Windows

"Fehler: Nicht unterstützter Videotyp oder Dateipfad"
(Error: Not supported video format or file path)

Music streaming works as expected.

Image attached, logfile:

Thanks for the port and apologies for the issue. The easiest way to diagnose this is if you could upload a sample movie file to our support dropbox account and then we can try to reproduce the issue. if you could also send us a zipped copy of a full set of iHomeServer log files that would be great.

Will send the dropbox share link via email

Hi,

any news? I just upgraded to the latest iTunes (with old graphic card support) and iHomesServer 3.1.76.

None of my videos can be played in firefox (35.0.1) or IE (on Win 7). Tried with several different computers, with a really different software installation history (from fresh install up to >4 years old). Installation is an german Win 7 x64 and x32 versions.

Would be really nice to solve this issue.
