I am trying to play a video on HTML using video tag. However, it is not playing at all. I'm thinking maybe it is the path problem.

I tried to use multiple video formats like WebM, mp4, and avi to test it out. However, the result is the same.
<video width="420" height="345" src="../test.mp4">
</video>
Try like this. video inside source tag. In your code you are miss controls. Html video can not play automatically. so we need control
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
<video width="400" controls src="../video.mp4"></video>
</body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<video width="400" height="400" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/ogg" />
Your browser does not support video tag
</video>
</body>
to wrap it up:
I was trying to solve this problem in the last few days, so I give some additional information:
I know mp4 is supported by Chrome
2.my video file is stored in the same folder as the html file( with the same directory)
3.some other programmers suggested using iframe so don't recommend this
the same problem goes for my audio files
when I write a http source instead, it does not open again.
I also tried writing in the code controls="controls" too.
I know I left the title part, my focus is on the body
I wonder what the problem is. I really appreciate if you help me to figure that out.
thank you in advance.
Google Chrome disables auto-play audio, so it can't auto-play video. To give autoplay, add a "muted" attribute.
<video controls autoplay muted>
I Found the answer to this question, in case you want to insert images, videos or audios you should take care of the directory your files are saved in, if they are in the same, which should preferably be, use this: ./image.png
<html><body><video src="C:\Users\vps\Desktop\v.mp4" width="50%" controls>
<p>If you are reading this, it is because your browser does not support the 'video' element. Try using the 'object' element listed further down the page.</p></video><p>If you can see the video controls but the video doesn't play when you click the "Play" button, your browser might not support this file type (i.e. <code>Ogg</code>). In this case, try the same code, but with a different file format.</p>enter code here</video></body></html>
Hope this helps:

I am trying to open a video in my default media player. I have inserted video hyperlinks in my HTML document.
When I click on the hyperlink, instead of opening the video, it downloads the video.
I want the hyperlink to open the video in the user's default media player without downloading the video.
This is what I have so far:

Please advise. Thank you.
This is how you can use video tag in html5:
code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="mov_bbb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
<p>

That's simply not how you embed video in html5. This is:
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
You can't open the default media player without downloading, but if you want you can make a page with just a html5 video player like Mayers said.
Hello guys im struggling with displaying gif image in mp4 format:
<video width="320" height="240" >
<source src="http://media4.giphy.com//media//64zSh1uTE7xxm//100w.mp4" type="video/mp4"/>
</video>
that's my code, but only first frame is beeing loaded, then everything freezes.
//
edit
I have remade it into this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1"/>
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<video width="320" height="240" >
<source src="http://media4.giphy.com//media//64zSh1uTE7xxm//100w.mp4" type="video/mp4" autoplay/>
</video>
</body>
</html>
but still its static image.
edit2// I'have added
controls="controls"
since In XHTML, attribute minimization is forbidden, and the autoplay attribute must be defined as video autoplay="autoplay".
You need to play the video, too, because by default it will pause at 0:00. There are 3 possible solutions to this problem.
Use the controls attribute (<video ... controls>) to show the
controls and play it manually
Use the autoplay attribute (<video ... autoplay>) to
autmatically play the video once it has loaded
Get the element via JavaScript and play it there (same behaviour as
autoplay in this solution):
var video = document.getElementById ("videoElement");
video.addEventListener ("loadedmetadata", function () { video.play (); });
For further information on HTML5-Video attributes, check out MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/video
I'm not too proficient in HTML myself, but I've experienced this problem too. The reason why the video is frozen on the first frame is because, by default, the video is paused at 0:00, which means it will simply not play without user intervention or code to play itself. There are two solutions to this:
Either include controls to this video, which can be done by changing the <video width="320" height="240"> to <video width="320" height="240" controls> or
Include autoplay by adding the autoplay attribute, which can be done by again changing <video width="320" height="240"> to <video width="320" height="240" autoplay>.
Hope this helped!
You forgot the full construction.
<video width="320" height="240" controls> </video>
instead of controls you can use other attributes.
autoplay - Specifies that the video will start playing as soon as it is ready
controls - Specifies that video controls should be displayed (such as a play/pause button etc).
height- Sets the height of the video player
loop - Specifies that the video will start over again, every time it is finished
muted - Specifies that the audio output of the video should be muted
poster - Specifies an image to be shown while the video is downloading, or until the user hits the play button
preload - Specifies if and how the author thinks the video should be loaded when the page loads
src - Specifies the URL of the video file
width - Sets the width of the video player
For more informations go to: w3schools
Add the autoplay property to the video tag, e.g.:
<video width="320" height="240" autoplay>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<body>
<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
<source src="tutorial.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
Your browser does not support the video tag.

</body>
</html>
this tutorial.mps is stored in the same folder but I am not able to open that video I got that sentence Your browser does not support the video tag.
See this link about media format browser compatibility. The firefox doesn't support mp4 yet. Convert the file e.g. to ogg and add an additional source-tag.
