<div>Playback on iOS is pretty cool, too! I've tested on an
iPhone IIgs and orginal iPad (IOW, older slower iOS devices) and it
works very nicely. Both of these are running iOS 5.1.1, the
latest. I'm serving from my experimental OS X backend, built
with MacPorts. If HLS just had 'nice' names instead of
1691_2012060611:30:00.mpg it would be pretty much immediately
useful.</div>

<div>Re Safari on OS X, is there an example of the required html
somewhere? Just curious; it is easy enough to run the OS X
frontend.</div>

<div>I'm also confused why the backend web page insists that JW Player
ought to be installed. What does it add to the party? It
seems it is supposed to go on the server but I have no idea where
relative to the myth backend.</div>
