    Hi Kyle,
    Thanks for the great plugin! Everything is working well. I have FFMPEG installed on my debian server and its encoding and creating thumbnails just fine. Playback in latest firefox and chrome on my win 10 desktop is working but videos created and uploaded from my iphone5 running ios 9.3.2 don’t play back on the phone.

    I have set up the MIME config as you suggested including the mov type.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Thanks again,
    Mark.

    Hi Kyle,

    I have just discovered something quite surprising. Since I started this thread I have abandoned my protection plugin but have been experimenting with FUSE mounted google storage buckets as my uploads directory. This makes sense if you’re trying to self host video. If the default uploads directory is changed to something that has a hyphen in it, like “media-vault” or “bilby-bucket,” ios devices will simply not play a video, whereas desktops, androids and even ios simulators will happily play them. Removing the hyphen fixes it right up.

    Isn’t that amazing?!

    Thanks for your perseverance with this thread and for the great plugin!

    Mark.
