Mp4 file CDN

[nullsend]

Does Cloudflare provide CDN services for MP4 files? If so, please let me know how it works and how it works. Our site provides video uploaded by users directly to MP4 files.

It does but there are caveats.

• MP4s will be cached by Cloudflare if the file size has to be under some threshold.
• Safari has a problem playing MP4s served by Cloudflare - sometimes. As far as I can tell, it has to do with the origin server if it’s Unix.

I’m loading various versions of the same video through media queries. From 396KB to 7MB. They all work fine and are served cached from the edge. The origin is a Windows server.

MP4 Won't Load in Safari Using CloudFlare

I am having the same issue as this person at the link above. Basically, my wordpress site will not serve MP4 video to safari browsers. In fact, it has nothing to do with Wordpress, since I can manually type in the file location on the server and it will not work, yet if I direct Safari to the local file on my computer, it plays. It seems to have something to do with how Cloudflare handles the header requests. I can confirm that PAUSING Cloudflare will allow the videos to load. But then I lose…

Accept-ranges: bytes

Hello all, Quite new with Cloudflare and currently cache a website that comes with small size mp4 etc. The problem is it seems Cloudflare does not support Accept-Ranges: Bytes thus mp4 cannot play in safari even the cache is hit and can play in chrome. In other words, no safari, no ios which really is pain in ■■■, any solutions? Xxx

MP4 Won't Load in Safari Using CloudFlare

Make sure your server is sending out the right MIME type for those media extensions. If you get me the video somehow (bypass CF with a direct IP address?) I can try it on my server for you.

MP4 Large files CDN

How can we tell if MP4s on our site are being cached by CF? If they are not cached, do they show up broken… or does CF hit the origin every single time?
