Chrome Version: 32.0.1700.76 m
Operating System: Windows 7
I've been having issues with Chrome's html5 video player. Two concerns:
The video won't begin to play until the entire video buffers. The loading bar shows the video loading slowly until the entire video is loaded and then it begins to play the video. This takes a while for people with slow internet and they may think the video is broken if it doesn't begin playing within 10-15 seconds.
When the video plays there is no sound. The image shows but there isn't any sound. The only sound is a random .5 second sound clip while the video is buffering.
I would very much appreciate some help troubleshooting these problems or possible alternate solution ideas.

Here's one video that doesn't play at all in Chrome. It may be an unrelated problem:

I want to show embedded video in my Angular app. The problem I am facing is that it is taking too long to load in Google Chrome (It takes around 5-10s), whereas it loads instantaneously in firefox. The format of the video is mp4, and I searched and found few issues related to Chrome and mp4 videos not working but my problem is slow loading.
My code is,
<video
*ngIf="!isDialogOpen"
class="videoURL"
controls
autoplay
loop
[muted]="true"
[src]="mpVideoUrl"
></video>
Can this issue be related to the format/codec of the video? I would prefer a solution where I don't have to change it.
all browsers have different buffering rules: depending on the speed of the network, and size of the video. what is the bitrate/ size of the video you are attempting to play?
You can check this with https://ffprobe.a.video (just enter the URL of the video you're having issues with).
Currently i'm having a background video for my website. The file is a .mp4 (1920x1080) format which is 25 seconds long (not a big file to be honest).
Here comes the tricky part.. the video runs all well, until I visit the website on a different computer (for example mac, using safari). Suddenly the video gets slown down and pixels can be count.
Effects are used inside of my video and may causes a higher bitrate. But whenever I watch the video on YouTube or whatever, it isn't lagging at all.
Does anyone know what could cause this?
P.S: I tested this on 2 different computers (a MAC book, which is pretty fast) and a slower computer.
Try to insert your video like that with the codec defined :
<video autoplay="true" loop="true"><source src="video/test4.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'></video>
I'm being forced to use rather large videos within an html 5 video player and I can't seen ti get the buffering to work while playing in Chrome on both a Mac and PC.
The player buffers great in Firefox and Safari, not sure about IE being on a mac.
I'm using the following code in the video tags:
video mp4="http://xeroproject.com/sqwm/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/benefits.mp4" ogg="http://xeroproject.com/sqwm/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/benefits.ogg" webm="http://xeroproject.com/sqwm/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/benefits.webm" poster="http://xeroproject.com/sqwm/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/slide.jpg" preload="none" width="820" height="462" captions="http://xeroproject.com/sqwm/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/intro.srt
And the video player can be viewed here
I've also ready that Chrome's initial preload is only around 2mb as opposed to FF and Safari which are around 10mb, which would explain slower buffer, but the videos get to a point and then just stopp buffering in Chrome and stick.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have an h264 mp4 video that is 960x540, 1000kbps and 30 minutes long. This will be playing off of a disc. I noticed only in chrome that when I open the web page it is embedded in, my computer slows way down and the video gets all choppy for a solid 5 seconds every time...almost like it is loading the entire resource.
I tested playing the file in IE9 and Firefox and these seem to play ok when I first open it. I really wish chrome would ditch their version of flash and just use the plugin version that all the other browsers use. I love chrome, but this is unacceptable.
I am looking for a solution to this resource loading problem. Things to note, I am using the OSMF framework and using a simple MediaPlayerSprite to show the video. Not a heavyweight element whatsoever. Thanks.
i have an icecast server serving continuous mp3 stream. i tried to play it in html5 with the audio tag. in safari it shows up and plays, but the moment the song changes, the stream stops and will not start again, even it i press the play button.
does anybody know a way around this?
This is a known Firefox Bug “Firefox fails on chained ogg stream” #455165 and should be fixed in Firefox 20.
Update: Sorry, didn't saw that you said you are streaming mp3. Firefox might have similar issues with mp3 too…
