Hey Piotr,

Same here. First of all thank you for the custom version of your plugin for testing! We tested it, but unfortunately that fix doesn’t work either. The playback is still not working on iPhone 5c.

We know it is hard to find a solution without having the device so we will test around a bit more and we will let you know if we find something.

Thanks again!
Chris

Hey Piotr,

Thank you very much for the effort and the custom version of your plugin! We tested it, but unfortunately that change didn’t make any difference. The audio is still muted when the hardware switch is turned to mute.

We will test around a bit more and we will let you know if we find something.

Thanks again!
Chris

Hey Piotr,

sorry for being not clear enough. I had some trouble describing it properly and I was hoping you had some similar issue already and would understand.

The thing is we are playing videos in the WebView and users are expecting sound even when the iPhone 6 is muted via the hardware switch. YouTube also plays sound even when the iPhone is muted, but the WebView playback in your Plugin is muted.

You can also have a look at the overview table about AVAudioSession categories on this page:

I think, the Plugin should use the Playback category so that the mute switch is ignored.

Thanks again,
Chris

Hey Piotr,

Thank you for your feedback. I think the download button is only visible on some devices and in most cases it’s not clickable. When I read your documentation I thought it is meant to be used like this and just open the URL to the video file. It works the same way like opening a video file in the browser.

But due to the download button issue we are going to handle it like you suggested. We simply build/style our own little player and embed the videos in there.

Thanks for your support!

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks Piotr,

I already thought so and I had the same problems with another Plugin as well. If a solution or workaround comes up in the future please let me know!

Thanks again,
Chris

Hey Piotr,

Thank you for the fast response! I’m opening the video with a direct link to the video file. You can try it with this link:

Also we noticed that the download button works only on some devices and does nothing on others, but we’d like to remove it completely anyway.

Thanks in advance!
Chris
