Does anyone know if you can use the HTML5 video tag to play a video from the iPad library?
Something like:
<source src="/local/path/video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
Thanks for your time
As far as I know, web pages don’t have access the iOS devices’ filesystems (hence the lack of support for <input type="file"> on iOS).
The user doesn’t have direct access to the filesystem, so it would be odd if web pages did.
There is a solution even though it is not the most convenient.
You can Jailbreak your iOS device, install Cydia and download/install a web server like iFile.
Then you can reference any file of the devices' filesystem by referencing the IP of the device like:
<source src="http://192.168.x.x:10000/local/path/video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
iFile will also provide you direct access to your filesystem. As an alternative you can use OpenSSH to access your filesystem remotely via programs like WinSCP.
