I know this is an old thread, but I have the same issue and as there was no reply I thought I’d add my comments.
I recently started using the iOS upload feature so have all my iPhone pictures and videos automatically uploaded to my Nextcloud 13.0.6 server.
Only problem is, the video_files.mov won’t actually play in the Nextcloud WUI.
Any ideas how I get them to play?
Thanks
Hi , guys. My *.mov video files from iphone can’t open nextcloud to play.
Any ideas? Thx, have a nice day!)
Video could not be opened because the type is not supported - i get this error.
Hi,
Could you tell :
You can check this thread too, it might be related to your issue:
Chrome 75.0.3770.100
Mac os high sierra
Nextcloud installed on ubuntu server by snap
video uploaded frome iphone X
I tried to playback my own iPhone *.mov videos through Chrome 75 on windows and it fails. Not with the same error, but loops on a black screen.
So it seems that Chrome is not compatible (besides: tested ok with Firefox v60.7 on windows)
Do you playback properly mp4 videos, like the default nextcloud.mp4 file with Chrome on MacOS ? If yes then your NC server config should be ok, and it’s a compatibility issue between OS/Browser and video format.
Check this link to have more info : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_video
In my case, I usually transcode all my iPhone videos to mp4 (h264/aac) to ensure maximum compatibilité with other configs, so I can share videos without further questions.
