We have a well-used app that streams certain videos. They are streamed as partial content. The backend for this system is in Clojure, using Reitit with the Ring approach. However, while they work great in Firefox and Chrome, videos fail to load in Safari. Originally we thought it was the lack of a c…

This is 100% a wrong place to ask. You’d have a much higher chance of getting a proper answer on any Apple-specific or even a generic web dev forum. Originally we thought it was the lack of a content type (since they are referenced from UUIDs without a file extension) Just wanted to address this…

The backend is Clojure and we are using Ring to mediate the content, with a front end using raw react (not reagent), hence our grasping at straws for the possibility it was the range header . I asked here hoping someone has navigated this issue. By default, ring will assume the content type based on …

How you build a response is irrelevant. Ring + Clojure, SimpleHTTPServer + Python, nc, whatever - doesn’t matter. Focus on the content of responses, not on how they’re produced. Even if Ring doesn’t provide some header or something else that Safari needs, it’s not Ring itself that’s to blame, it’s …

[image] Webdev_Tory: Thanks for the general information about the other browsers using webkit (or is it Apple’s mutation of webkit?) on Mac as well. On iOS all browsers use WebKit. On macOS however they can use their own engines so Chromium browsers are using Blink, FireFox uses Gecko etc

So, is Mac using more than the off-the-shelf Webkit? (if so, that would make a sad sense…) Edit: I just noticed that you are distinguishing between macOS annd iOS, which is not a distinction I held previously

Thanks for that. I had just hoped that for such a large user-base as “iOS users” a basic technical hurdle like “streaming video” might be addressed with minimal fuss

Do you use HLS? [image] Delivering Video Content for Safari | Apple Developer Documentation Improve the performance and appearance of video in your website in Safari.

You can also try to host the videos on S3 or Google Cloud Storage. I don’t know if it will help with your specific Safari issue. But at least S3 and Google Cloud Storage handles all the range queries correctly. However, you might consider to use something like: [image] Cloudflare Stream |…

Regarding range-requests, I got them working in the sunng87/jetty9-wrapper - which is using Jetty 12. I have no idea if this would solve any Safari-related problems. In short these classes are needed: (:import [org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler ResourceHandler ContextHandler ContextHandlerCollect…

Does your backend properly respond to range requests or are you just serving the whole file? I successfully used this code to respond to range requests in my backend byte range aware file-response for ring · GitHub . I can stream at least audio to Safari using this. I also found this that may be mo…
