Is there a good way to stream video through asp.net to a normal webpage and mobile? I've tried the following but it doesn't work in my Sony Ericsson K810i. When I try it in my browser, I can see the clip (don't know if it's streaming though).
html:
<object type="video/3gpp"
data="handlers/FileHandler.ashx"
id="player"
width="176"
height="148"
autoplay="true"></object>
FileHandler.ashx (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/608480/best-way-to-stream-files-in-asp-net):
public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) {
string path = "~/files/do.3gp";
string localPath = context.Server.MapPath(path);
if (!File.Exists(localPath))
{
return;
}
// get info about contenttype etc
FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(localPath);
int len = (int)fileInfo.Length;
context.Response.AppendHeader("content-length", len.ToString());
context.Response.ContentType = FileHelper.GetMimeType(fileInfo.Name); // returns video/3gpp
// stream file
byte[] buffer = new byte[1 << 16]; // 64kb
int bytesRead = 0;
using(var file = File.Open(localPath, FileMode.Open))
{
while((bytesRead = file.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
{
context.Response.OutputStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
}
// finish
context.Response.Flush();
context.Response.Close();
context.Response.End();
}
