I have a URL with headers which looks like
https://www.url.com/api/assets/download/{assetlocation}?type=asset&id={id}&otherid={otherid}.
The Completed URL looks this
https://www.url.com/api/assets/download/as13-12sa-123-sqr1?type=asset&id=11&otherid=22.
and after appending "MP4" extension the users looks like
https://www.url.com/api/assets/download/as13-12sa-123-sqr1.mp4?type=asset&id=11&otherid=22.
I am passing this URL to the viewcontroller called video view controller to play in the AVPlayer. But all I can see a blank screen. Then I tried to append mp4 extension. Even then it is the same case, it just displaying a blank screen. The same link is used in our Android App and it is streaming the video there and it is the working fine when I try to open it in the browser.
I tried adding a different url http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4 and then the AVPlayer is streaming and playing the video perfectly. I tried adding similar URLs like above and they all worked perfectly. I am still not able to figure out why is our URL not streamable.
I have also tried to upload the video in our URL in dropbox and tried to stream with the dropbox link, it streamed perfectly without any issue.
I would be glad if someone can give suggestions on how to stream a URL with headers. If any changes had to be made to backend, what makes a ideal URL for iOS streaming. What should the URL contain inorder for it to be streamed by iOS.
