To anyone who can help, I'm at my wit's end and can't figure out how to play a tmp video file from my iphone. I'm using getUserMedia and I can save the file to my database and play it after upload. However, I'd like to preview a video before sending it to the database. Is that possible? The page flow would go like this: 1. Record a video, click a link and 2. show a new page with the tmp file playing in it. I reference the tmp file like this: $_FILES["media"]["tmp_name"]; (When I call the same file from the database I just add a .mov and it plays fine). Anyone have any ideas? Thanks ahead of time!
