Hi,
we have a problem serving our mp4-Files to iOS devices.
We use a htaccess File to check wheather a user has the rights to access the requested file.
If the user has the rights, the file is served via readfile();
This was not working for us, so i tried mod_xsendfile for apache, but this isn't working either. If i check the headers sent by mod_xsendfile, it is always: "Content-Type: plain/html"
Any suggestions?

I knew this was coming :p
2 steps back!
Sorry for the missunderstanding, this is no iOS problem.
Its an android-problem and i found the cause, but i have no idea how to solve it.
Steaming on iOS devices works great, but android has a weird problem:
When I am trying to playback the video, i get the message that the video could not be loaded. So i checked the access logs and i found out the following:
The Player sends the file request to the server, but without sending any cookies!
Even the user-agent is changed from Opera[.....] to "stagefright/1.1 (Linux;Android 2.3.3)"
Because no cookies are sent, server cant check the file permissions and denies the request.
I think a link isn't needed anymore. I would need to give you access to the request logs to see the problem.
I think one is, I have no idea what's going on here. Usually providing a link helps us actually debug the issue instead of blindly guessing as to what it is.
Do you have a link?
