Please help - 2 simple questions

Post by ratluri »

I'm using this media server and access my content from ipod and ipad using safari browser. My question are:

1. How do I pre-transcode my video files for these devices when using safari? (which transcoding profile & settings,etc)
2. How do I see my photos on these devices when connected through safari? (it is just showing a small icon for each of my photos but not the actually photo)

I appreciate your help.

Thanks
Eugene

Thanks Eugene. I was able to get both of the issues fixed. However, regarding seeing photos on ipad and iphone on safari, I can see the pictures now but they are very blurry and not clear. My originals are very high resolution pictures.

Please let me know how I can see my photos clearly on ipad/iphone.

Thanks
Eugene
