But the solution is not clear
Please help! Thanks in advance
CODE:
<video width="520" height="540" controls="true" id="mp4Vid" >
Your browser does not support the video tag.
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always">
<param name="flashvars" value="file=/mov/scene.mp4">
<source type="video/mp4" id="source" />
</video>
Source for video is loaded using following javascript code
var video1 = document.getElementById('mp4Vid');
var source = document.getElementById('source');
source.setAttribute('src', "myMp4.mp4");
source.setAttribute('type', 'video/mp4');
video1.pause();
video1.appendChild(source);
video1.load();
video1.play();

Im building a site where video will be stream from mp4/m4v files on the server.
I am having trouble making this work in Chrome 47, evidently due to lack of NPAPI support.
Here are some variations of code I have tried and the results:
<video controls>
<param name="video" value="true" />
<source src="app/files/s1e1.m4v" type="video/mp4">
<source src="app/files/s1e1.m4v" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
Result: I get a javascript error frame with an message reading "This plugin is not supported"
<object width="100%" height="360">
<param name="movie" value="app/files/s1e1.m4v"/
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/>
<embed width="100%" height="360" src="app/files/s1e1.m4v" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"/>
</object>
Result: The player renders and seems to load the file evidenced by the correct video length being displayed in the player, but video does not play when I hit the play button.
Either method works perfectly in Safari.
Which method is best for cross-browser support?
I have a problem with HTML5 Video and Google Chrome.
When I load my page. I can't see the video. No poster image, no video frame.
The video element does exist.
Now if I scroll a little bit the video is showing up and plays.
Its like "Please Scroll to Render and Play the Video"..
This is my code:
<video id="videocontainer" loop autoplay preload="auto" poster="http://homepage.de/video/poster.jpg">
<source src="http://homepage.de/video/BigWeb.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="http://homepage.de/video/BigWeb.webm" type="video/webm" />
<source src="http://homepage.de/video/BigWeb.ogv" type="video/ogg" />
<object id="videocontainer-object">
<param name="movie" value="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback.swf"></param>
<param name="flashvars" value="http://homepage.de/video/BigWeb.mp4&playButtonOverlay=false&loop=true&autoPlay=true&controlBarMode=none"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed id="videocontainer-embed" src="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="1280" height="720" flashvars="src=http://homepage.de/video/BigWeb.mp4&controlBarMode=none&playButtonOverlay=false&loop=true&autoPlay=true"></embed>
</object>

I have integrated the medialement player. It works great on all browsers except firefox. As I am trying to integrate a mp4 video. I know that firefox does not support mp4, and hence setup a flash fallback. The flash fallback works, but it gets called twice. And I have 2 instances of the player getting played simultaneously. Any idea why would this happen?
The code:
<video id="player1" width="700" height="430">
<source type="video/mp4" src="'+videoUrl+'" />
<object width="700" height="430" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="flashmediaelement.swf">
<param name="movie" value="/assets/flashmediaelement.swf" />
<param name="flashvars" value="controls=true&file="'+videoUrl+'" />
</object>
</video>
The videoUrl is submitted by the user. The user is given a prompt to paste the URL.
Why does Chrome keep attempting to mount mp4 files when it can't play them?
I am working on a PC Windows 7, IE 10, Chrome Version 25.0.1364.172.
It doesn't matter whether mp4 source line is before or after the object lines, Chrome seems to want to mount the mp4 files even if it can't play them.
I would like to play the mp4 file in IE 10 and the flash equivalent in Chrome, but I can't seem to make any combination of line ordering work.
So far, my only workaround is to use flash in both browsers. But why do I have to? I thought the html5 video tag was supported by both browsers?
Is this the correct way for a flash fallback to be coded, as it doesn't seem to be working. Is there a way to code this so I don't have to use flash in IE 10, which can play the mp4 files native?
Thanks for whatever assistance you can give me.

I am having some trouble trying to figure out what is causing HTML5 video to be extremely slow loading/playing in Safari. I have tested the same below code on Chrome, Firefox, IE (irrelevant as it uses the flash) and the load/play times are nearly instant. But on Safari, I need to wait pretty much a whole minute before it starts playing. I had tried removing the video's 'autobuffer' parameter, but made no difference. Any ideas?
<video id="video-window" autoplay="autoplay" autobuffer="autobuffer">
<source src="testvideo.mp4" type='video/mp4' />
<source src="testvideo.webm" type='video/webm' />
<source src="testvideo.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"' />
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="player.swf" width="640" height="480">
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="flashvars" value="testvideo.mp4">
<!--[if IE]><param name="movie" value="player.swf"><![endif]-->
<p>Your browser can’t play HTML5 video.</p>
</object>
</video>
You need to use Handbrake and check the Web optimized option when encoding. I have no clue why but this reduces Safari lag dramatically. Still not as speedy as other browsers but much better.
