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>

I am using a video tag in which I have downloaded a timelapse video from Pexel and have included the mp4 file inside VS Code folder. After I type autoplay, loop inside the video tag, the video is not playing. Here is the code:
<video width="320" height="240" autoplay loop>
<source src="Flower.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
The video remains static. What could be the problem with the video tag? Is the format of the video tag, ok?
I did also type like this:
<video autoplay loop src="Flower.mp4"></video>
But the same old result is being shown i.e. video is static.
Please suggest as to what should be done here.
The issue might be due to the unsupported video format by the browser. Can you try converting the video to a different format such as H.264 or WebM and see if it works? Also, make sure the video file is in the correct path specified in the 'src' attribute of the video tag. If the video file is still not playing, try adding the 'controls' attribute to the video tag to check if the issue is with the autoplay and loop attributes.
<video autoplay loop controls src="http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4"></video>
By adding the 'controls' attribute, you can check if the issue is with the autoplay and loop attributes, or if the video file is simply not playing.
Update:
const video = document.getElementById("myVideo");
video.loop = true;
video.autoplay = true;
video.play();
<video id="myVideo" controls>
<source
src="http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4"
type="video/mp4"
/>
Your browser does not support the video tag.

I am creating a HTML-Page for my local PC for fun and want to implement a video player.
I searched for how to do it and found something which I applied to my page:
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="Videos/test.mp4" type="video/mp4"><source>
</video>
I even tried to embed the source attribute:
<video width="400" src="Videos/test.mp4" controls></video>
Both end up creating a video frame with play button but nothing is played. Even when I click on the play button nothing reacts to my click.
Does anyone unterstand why?
I think it's because you are using <source> tag twice. And you can't use an empty <source>. It should be like :
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="Videos/test.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
reference : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/video
You should check the DevTools (F12) network tab for any errors while fetching the video file. Probably your answer will be there.
Most likely, this has something to do with the file path you've entered in the [src] attribute.
From https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_video_src.asp:
Possible values:
An absolute URL - points to another web site (like
src="http://www.example.com/movie.ogg")
A relative URL - points to a
file within a web site (like src="movie.ogg")
Try this way it may be work if your src path not correct
Videos/test.mp4 => /Videos/test.mp4
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="/Videos/test.mp4" type="video/mp4"><source>
</video>
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>
<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:
<video width="300" height="400" id="vid" controls>
<source src="https://developer.apple.com//live-photos/assets/boy.mov" type="video/mp4">

I need to load a mute video and an audio file into the same html5 video tag. I tried to find this, but I only found texts about audio tag, which is not what I am looking for.
I need something like this:
<video controls="controls" poster="poster.jpg" width="640" height="360">
<source src="08_gestao_documental_autoridades_brasileiras_SEM_AUDIO.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="autoridades_brasileiras.mp3" type="audio/mp3">
</video>
That's not how source works. The source elements are really alternatives: if the browser doesn't support one, it will go to the next, until it reaches one that is supported and played, then only that one will play (and the others will be ignored).
You cannot have two sources (a video and an audio) playing at the same time under the same video/audio tag. As you found online, if you want to have two media elements (the muted video and the audio) you will need two media tags.
Then, and at least in theory (and if I didn't misunderstand), you could use mediagroup to control and sync both audio and video elements so they are streamed together; but mediagroup is not well supported... or at least I haven't been able to make it work, but you may want to look into it because, as I said, I may have misunderstood how it works :-S
One alternative solution would be to have the audio inside the video (as the fallback code), then synchronize them using JavaScript. Something like this:
<video id="myvideo" controls muted>
<source src="path/to/video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<audio id="myaudio" controls>
<source src="path/to/audio.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"/>
</audio>
</video>
<script>
var myvideo = document.getElementById("myvideo");
var myaudio = document.getElementById("myaudio");
myvideo.onplay = function() { myaudio.play(); }
myvideo.onpause = function() { myaudio.pause(); }
</script>
You can see an example on this JSFiddle.
