i want to have a URL like this one (https://www.ooklnet.com/files/381/381489/video.mp4) where when you click it and itll play the video. Thing is this isnt my website or video. i tried my URL which i thought was corrct (http://54.XXX.XXX.238/srv/ProductVideos/lazar108#hotmail.com/s/s_7s.MP4) and it gives me this error:
The requested URL /srv/ProductVideos/lazar108#hotmail.com/s/s_7s.MP4 was not found on this server.
I know for a fact that theres a video in the file path on my server. Proof:
(I need this URL for my android app so i can display the video in the app.)
How can i create a link like this one (https://www.ooklnet.com/files/381/381489/video.mp4)?
I have a Ubuntu 14.04.4 server with AWS EC2!
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thank you!
1) your EC2 has to have security groups open to allow any access to port 80 from the Internet
2) your EC2 has to be running some web server software such as apache
3) apache needs to be configured to serve files, check the document root
4) apache needs to be configured to correctly send mp4 with the right mime type headers see this answer Apache not serving .mp4 files correctly - shows the contents of the file rather than a download prompt
If it is apache ( and not nginx or another web server) you are using check the access log file /var/log/apache2/access.log and the default error log /var/log/apache2/error.log

I want to get the stream url from an android app to open the stream video elsewhere
using EZVIZ TY1 1080p 360-Degree camera or Mi Home Security Camera 360°1080P
I expect to get the url of the stream video and open it on a web page.
If your running the android app on your phone, or any device for that matter you would need to install a pass-through "man in the middle" proxy (such as Charles or Fiddler) and set your device to connect through your machine - you'll be able to inspect all network traffic from there that the app is making when you load services/sites or any network traffic for that matter. You can filter out down to exactly what you need and copy the request URL so you can reuse it.
Note that this works with nearly all but encrypted traffic, so never any promises but that would be the ideal approach to getting what you need.
I want to implement video-cast of video from internal storage or sd-card.
I see that this sample (https://github.com/googlecast/CastVideos-android ) does cast of internet content only.
How can I do same thing but using video from device ??
There is some tutorial or sample code ?
Edit:
I do more search, local web server is the way ? Something like nanohttpd ?
Yes, you need to set up a local web server in your android app and serve the media from that server.
step 1:
Run simple http server app in your device
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.ubi.common.http.server&hl=en
step 2: open chrome in your laptop and type your android device's http address (from the above app). you will get your device's directory. copy the address of a video file.
step 3. in CastVideos-android project open VideoProvider.java file.
modify the line :
String videoUrl =
step4: run the CastVideos-android project and enjoy casting.
(try clicking on big buck bunny video, to get the video casted faster)
So here it is, I'm starting a Phonegap app and would like to use a given library. In the library code it tries to reach some URL with this form :
//img.site.com/given_img.png
without http or https at the beginning so it will adapt nicely. But when launching the app on my phone I see it tries to reach :
file://img.site.com/given_img.png
Not http or https... But file protocol. Obviously it fails to load...
Anyone knows how to deal with this ?
Thanks ahead !
As far as I can tell, after researching this for some time... Currently there is no solution out of the box. You have to check the code with JS and force add the wanted protocol into it before execution. I simply changed the way I wanted to do things and avoided that kind of situation.
The idea behind having src="//domain.com/some/pic" is so that the browser will request those assets with the protocol matching your website, meaning, if your website is running on http - it will request the picture over http, vs if your website is running on https it will request the image with https://.
#Jeremy is right, there's no option at the moment.
But you can take the protocol matching your website with var protocol = window.location.protocol and use that in your src={{ protocol + image }}
This is to prevent from writing hard-coded http / https and mix secure with non-secure content in your website which causes errors to jump like "This Page Contains Both Secure and Non-Secure Items"
I am currently building an Android app using HTML5. Inside my app, I am providing link to a HTML file available inside tomcat server on my machine.
<div>Beep</div>
The HTML file "sample.html" has link to download a file in same file location, where the sample.html is placed.
sample.html has this --> Click to download
The problem here is, when I run my app on an android mobile, the link stays dumb and it won't initiate the download from the given path.
But, the same URL when I open in a web browser, the download starts.
Could anyone let me know why this URL is not initiating the download inside my app??
I already enabled "Allow installation of non-Market applications" in the settings of my android device.
If you are using real device you must set your url with static ip of your machine like 192.168.0.10 and in emulator 10.0.0.2
See this post.
Use 10.0.2.2 as IP for server running on the same machine as the Android emulator.
Check out following post with similar problem:
Download File inside WebView
Check out this link for setting up the mime type in tomcat.
Copied for reference:
In Tomcat 5.x and 4.x, the default mappings between MIME types and file extensions are stored in the file tomcat_home/conf/web.xml, where tomcat_home is the path under which Tomcat was installed on your server. The mappings specified there are applied to all web / WAP applications hosted on your Tomcat server. Application-specific mappings should be set in the WEB-INF/web.xml file under the directory of your web / WAP application.
Each mapping is specified with the <mime-mapping>, <extension> and <mime-type> tags. Here is an example:
<web-app>
...
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xhtml</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml</mime-type> </mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>wml</extension>
<mime-type>text/vnd.wap.wml</mime-type> </mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>wmls</extension>
<mime-type>text/vnd.wap.wmlscript</mime-type> </mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>wbmp</extension>
<mime-type>image/vnd.wap.wbmp</mime-type> </mime-mapping>
...
</web-app>
I've exported an apk from eclipse. I am able to install it without any problem if I copy it to the phone's sd card.
When trying to download via phone's (Galaxy S) browser I get:
"Download unsuccessful".
I have set mime type application/vnd.android.package-archive in the mime.types, restarted apache, still same result.
Also tried :
Download App
Still no luck.
I am able to download and install applications from android market. I suspect that apache is not sending the mime type but this is just a shot in the dark.
How can I fix the problem and be able to install APKs from my web server? (or at least to check if apache sends correct header with mime type)
Any help will be appreciated.
It is better if you add the .apk extension to the apache`s mime config. Take a look at this example:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types
You can just find the "apk" record and copy the row to the file /etc/mime.types at your server:
application/vnd.android.package-archive apk
Also add this to /etc/apache2/mods-available/mime.conf :
AddType application/vnd.android.package-archive .apk
(There are some other AddType-s, put it after them for sure).
From here on you don't have to put anything for the apk`s mime-type in the tag, the server will handle this. ;)
UPDATE: fixed a bug in AddType line
After all I found the problem thanks in part to CommonsWare advise.
Directory where I put apks for downloads is protected by simpe auth. Phone's browser correctly asks (once) for username/password when browsing it but obviously forgets to send auth info when trying to download the file and that causes 401 Unauthorized.
Solution: remove basic auth from that dir or use another unprotected dir for the apks.
Use curl to test the Web server to make sure it is responding to the HTTP request and returning the proper MIME type. Also, example your server logs to see what error is being logged.
Sometimes you have no access to apache configuration files like /etc/mime.types, especially on the shared servers. You can create file .htaccess (or open if it already exists) in your root directory and add the following string:
AddType application/vnd.android.package-archive .apk
Hope it helps.
