webspinning Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I am setting up a new digital video download site. All going well and working fine until I try to enable the content from a mobile device. Tried adding a custom file path to the actual MP4 and I don't have access to download - which I think is fine. Anyone got any ideas on how to enable MP4 if the link in the order confirmation is clicked from a mobile device please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 "enable the content"? Do you mean to say that when clicking the link (it has an accesskey part to the querystring), you get a different response from your store from a desktop versus a mobile web browser?

webspinning Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 yes, works fine on desktop but clicking the link in the email on a mobile does not work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Please verify the link looks identical between the desktop browser versus the mobile browser. And, what is the actual response on the mobile browser after having clicked the link? I just set my desktop browser to "lie" and claim it is an iPhone5. The link is the same as before, and clicking it started the download of the PDF file I have associated with the product related tot he link. That is to say, I was not able to reproduce your observation. (Granted, I did not use an actual mobile device.) But as far as CubeCart is concerned, having a User Agent string saying the browser is a 'mobile' browser, did not change how the file was to be sent out onto the Internet.

webspinning Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 It is the same link, I am opening it from the same email and on my PC it is fine but not so on my mobile or iPad. I think I have a work around, a bit more time needed to solve but I will update on here either way. Thanks for your help thus far. Appreciated.

bsmither Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 What is the actual response on the mobile browser after having clicked the link? What does the browser complain about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webspinning Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Basically just hangs and does nothing. Try https://cambridge-tutor.co.uk/index.php?_a=download&accesskey=fabb48b40fb6cd07e50d553151f2e058 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I told my browser to say it is an iPhone5 and I was able to download it - twice, in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsmither Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 An internet search for slash through play button iphone has some relevant results. Something to do with your phone's operating system not having the appropriate video decoder (Flash?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webspinning Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 More testing this morning and some interesting results. Place the MP4 files for download in the secure 'File' folder tick the check box for the file location Purchase MP4 from the shop Select the link from the Purchasers email: from mobile device - image as above - nothing plays. from PC file downloaded to download folder and can be played from here. Place the MP4 files for download in the non secure 'Public' folder and enter the link in the custom file path Purchase MP4 from the shop Select the link from the Purchasers email: from mobile device - MP4 plays. from PC - MP4 plays. Obviously from the public directory the link is available to be found/copied etc so not an ideal location but I get the result I need. How can I get this result from the secure 'File' folder please?
