html - Failed to Load Resource, Plugin Handled Load on iOS

Question

Every time I try to view a video file on my server I get this error on iOS in Safari, Chrome.

I am using a blob server and then an Apache server so I am not sure what the problem is. However, when I only use Apache, I do get this error but then I have the video rendering too.

However when I render this using my server this is not working. Does anyone know why this is? The videos work fine on other devices and in browsers also works fine if accessed through Apache only.

The solution to this problem was just a work around. The reason being the that blob servers aren't streaming servers. iOS devices expect the videos to arrive in small chunks. So for instance a streaming server is able to do this. However, a blob server just hands the video as a blob which is not what the iOS device expects. Some browsers are smart enough to handle this but others not.

The way I solved this was to add the video files outside of the blob server in a folder within the project and then render this through the Apache server instead of serving it via the actual blob server we were using. I hope this helps.
