I am trying to display a video on a webpage.
I tested it locally and it works fine. However, when I put it in my webpage's repository (on a different computer) and access it through the internet, the video does not appear.
I included an mp4 and an ogg as source files, and tested it on both Firefox and Chrome, but neither work. I am sure the video path is correct.
Any thoughts?
<video width="205", controls>
<source src="movies/video1.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movies/video1.ogv" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

Solved!
Videos did not have read access.

I have tried multiple formats (mp4, webm, ogg) with firefox and chrome, but none of the browsers seem to load my video.
I don't think it is because of the src, I can follow the link and i brings me to the folder, where my video is. Do you think, Chrome and Firefox can't open these formats?
<div class="col-sm-6 mx-auto" *ngIf="enableFirstSectionYes">
<video width="600" height="240" controls autoplay>
<source src="src\app\videos\video.webm" type="video/webm">
</video>
Browser support
According to Can I use, the Chrome and firefox should be able to read .webm format.

So the reason did not the browser's problem.
Angular
In Angular, static resource should be place in assets folder.

Maybe the reason is the video in wrong folder.
Move the video to assets folder, and change the video tag's src
<video controls autoplay muted>
<source src="../assets/videos/oceans.mp4" />
</video>
I had tested it, and it is works fine.
📌 my environment is window11
I tried this code but video is just continuing to load, not to playing.
I also tried video codec H-264 but that is not working.
Next I tried to convert mp4 video to webm but that did not help either
Can anyone tell me how to do this using jquery and ajax?
<video controls muted>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
Did you checked by drag and drop to open the movie.mp4 or the movie.ogg file?
If the file does not work by simply opening it using a browser, it might be the file's problem, not the code or the browser.
For the file type support per browsers please refer the "Can I use?" pages:
MPEG-4/H.264
Ogg/Theora
First I made a screen recording as a video I would like to display.
Than I uploaded the video to VLC to convert the video.
I made one MP4 and a fallback for OGG.
I then moved the videos to my dropbox account so I can host them there.I right clicked and got the link to each video from dropbox. I am trying to use the links as the src in the video tags.
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/m7emkfs994sgm5g/Untitled.m4v?dl=0" type="video/mp4">
<source src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/9owwdbm8p0nz1f0/oggguntitled.ogg?dl=0" type="video/ogg">
</video>
Even though I told VLC to convert it to MPV, the file extension is m4v.. Is that the same thing?
The video just shows blank. Not getting any errors either.Not sure what I missed.
The following Fixed it for me.
I made two changes:
change dl=0 at the end of your dropbox link to dl=1. I believe this makes it a download link instead of a page to view a download link.
Due to a bug in chrome on OSX certain mp4 files will fail to play correctly (some kind of graphics acceleration issue), but it won't fall back to the ogv. For this reason, i have placed the ogv as first since it will work on OSX-chrome, and platforms that don't support it should fall back to the mp4.
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/9owwdbm8p0nz1f0/oggguntitled.ogg?dl=1" type="video/ogg">

I'm trying to create a HTML5 video background for a website but I cannot seem to get it to work on Safari. Does anyone have any ideas?
Here's the HTML video tags I'm using
<video id="bgVideo" class="bg__video" autoplay loop>
<source src="./vid/Sample_Vid.ogv" type="video/ogv">
<source src="./vid/Sample_Vid.m4v" type="video/m4v">
<source src="./vid/Sample_Vid.webm" type="video/webm">
</video>
I've tried adding a script tag under it to start playing the video with JS but that's not helped either.
document.getElementById("bgVideo").play();
When I inspect the page it looks like the video element is taking up space in the DOM but it's just invisible basically.
I've also tried opening the .m4v files directly in the browser & it plays it there so I assume the file isn't an issue. These were all generated from easyhtml5video.com
I also have the Modernizer script to detect if autoplay is enabled for the browser which I've had to alter based on a pull request in the github repo as it was always saying that Safari doesn't support autoplay otherwise.
The test site I've setup is http://treetopia.neilnand.co.uk/
The supported video format for Safari is mp4 with H.264 encoding. (you have a .m4v extension and file type)
If video does not has sound - use
document.getElementById("bgVideo").volume = 0;
Safari don't allow autoplay for videos with sound.
I'm trying to play a HTML5 video in safari on my local server but currently it isn't working properly. Here's the issue:
I have the code:
<video width="580" height="340" controls>
<source src="media/video/test.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="media/video/test.m4v" type="video/mp4">
<source src="media/video/test.ogv" type="video/ogv">
<source src="media/video/test.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
It simply says 'Your browser does not support the video tag.' when I view it on my local server through Safari. I made sure to add the mp4 etc MIME types in IIS and restarted including the WWW service.
The video plays fine when I view it via direct path in Safari and it works playing it within Chrome from the HTML.
Any ideas? Cheers!
Update
I didn't have Quicktime installed on my machine. Once installed, the HTML5 video played.
The version of safari you are using probably doesnt support the new html5 video tag,
you could try using a different type of player (shockwave youtube etc) to extend your browser support
