Are you able to get this working on Chrome? On Chrome, when I click play on the player, I get a spinning, loading circle for about a second or so and then nothing. However, it works fine in Edge.

For Chrome you probably need another codec, then again, hdhomerun streams natively to chrome, edge and safari on the desktop, OP's issue is with iOS.

usually you have to escape \ with another \ - so c:\video\... etc - or use / instead.... c:/video/...
