video not working in safari with django static files - html

It's a video page to make a website with django.
It comes out well on Chrome, but it doesn't come out on Safari... The same goes for mobile safari.
Playsinline and video tag are all correct.
Video source is the address of a video on the Internet, but it doesn't play when I import it from a static file.
Is there a solution?
If I have to encode, I also want to know the code that automatically encodes when I load a video.

I don't think those kind of static files are supported with safari

HTML5 video tag not working in IE when tested from localhost (XAMP /Apache)

Just as the title says. I've been working on a site and had added a big html video for the main page.
I looked over online...myme types checked, h264 encoding checked. I looked over old versions of the file i've been working on and noticed an old pure HTML file which loaded the video in all browsers with no problem (which I guess discards any encoding or video quality issues)
It all was working neat. Even displaying in firefox, chrome an IE. BUT for some reason the video does not load in IE whenever the file extension for the page it's on is .PHP. To be precise, whenever i try it from my LOCALHOST (XAMP with Apache server)
I also checked the dev tools and under network it does show it as the right content type and no error whatsoever (getting normal 200 result)
Here's the snippet of the video tag used:
<div id="video_container">
<video autoplay loop poster="video.jpg" id="header_vid">
<source src="imagenes/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
LOL, and just noticed...not even the poster image is showing in IE...wtf.
I'm so confused, could anyone enlighten me a bit please? Could it be something related to the path used? been digging around the net for days _
Check if your url is formed properly when you are using .php extension on IE. Same issue addressed quite a few time here.

Play mp4 file through php in HTML5 Video Tag in Chrome?
I notice IE doesn't like the properties without value, so try
<video autoplay="" loop="" poster="video.jpg" id="header_vid">

<video> won't play Apple Trailer URLs

I'm trying to include a HTML5 video player on a site.
I've got the following code:
<video id="player" controls="controls" width="100%">
<source src="http://trailers.apple.com/movies/paramount/captainamerica/captainamerica-tlr1_h.480.mov">
</video>
This works in Safari, but not in Chrome and Firefox, is the .mov encoded in a weird way that doesn't allow them to be used like this? trailers.apple.com which uses the same URLs work fine in their player.
The probability that on apple's site they have multiple links to different encoded movie files. They do this because there is no current movie format that works across all major browsers.
Also just because the URL is the same doesn't mean that the same video is being served up on apples website... They could be doing some URL mapping magic to get a correct video format.
look at this link for a good current table of support per codec
http://diveintohtml5.info/video.html#what-works
Apple only serves up their videos in the MOV format. This means that only Safari can watch the videos since it is the only browser that uses Quicktime in its HTML5 video implementation. If you try opening the file directly in Chrome you should either see it download or the Quicktime plugin kick off.
I personally don't have Quicktime so when I go to the Apple trailers site, I get a link to download Quicktime and can't proceed any further without doing so.
captainamerica-tlr1_h.480.mov is just a .mov file that redirects to captainamerica-tlr1_h480.mov But it still won't work in browsers that doesn't use Quicktime for <video>. You have to set User-Agent to "Quicktime" for trailers.apple.com.
other browsers doesn't understand .mov, quicktime does. you need to serve up separate files for safari. you can generate needed files with nero or in-browse via media.io.

Playing an audio file, from a web page, on a smartphone

I'm creating an alternate page of a web site just for smartphones that needs to play an audio file. I can reformat for mp3, ogg, wav, whatever works. I've tried the HTML5 "audio" tag and tested on an iPhone, with no luck. Anyone have any ideas and/or a link to a page that works? -Thanks
Each phone is going to be a bit different, in what it supports. Many devices support Flash, but not iOS. It all depends on which platforms you are targeting.
If the audio doesn't have to be playing with the page visible, you can try just linking to a playlist file (such as m3u or pls). Any device I've tested with supports this method, except for Android. For Android, just load Flash.

safari html5 video loading issue

I'm having an issue with html5 video and safari 5. It works locally, the video pulls up and everything is fine. It will also pull up on the server if I go directly to the video path. Im just using the video tag and loading a video. It works on the server in all other browsers supporting html5 video. It works locally. It just doesn't work in safari on the server. In the network panel it shows the video trying to load but returns a null 404. The path to the video is relative. I'm very confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I had a problem very similar to yours. HTML5 video/Safari working locally but not when published on server. First check your .htaccess file. You may need to modify MIME types. Here is a very good tutorial: Dive into HTML5 Video.
Second, and this solved my problem, are you serving from a protected site? The solution for me was to move video and audio files to an unprotected folder and then use an absolute path to the specific media.

embed video file in my html file

i want to embed video file in my html file and that video file is saved in same folder where my html page is saved?so how can i embed that video?
I would advise using HTML5 to do this:
<video src="myvideo.avi"/>
This will work for Firefox 3.0+, Chrome and Safari. Not sure about the early IE (Internet Explorers). It also avoids having to use Flash to render a video window.
W3C Schools has a good article on the use of the video tag
W3schools has a great reference on the <video> tag here:http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp
Another solution is to upload your videos to youtube and then embed the video on your site. It takes less server space on your part, it is widely supported, and you can get discovered easier.
