I'm working on a site using cached video in HTML5. It works fine on a laptop using Safari. When I test on mobile Safari using IOS 5, I see the following:
Site works and plays video fine when 1st loaded.
I get prompted if I want to cache 10 MB of data on my iPhone. I say yes. (Cache size in Safari was 9.5 MB) Website data page in mobile Safari settings confirms 9.5 MB are cached.
When I try to return to the website in a new tab, the HTML and images load, but for the video I get a play button with a line through it.
This happens regardless of whether I turn Airplane Mode on or off.
I have the exact same issue. I have seen various things by searching that suggest one of two things. Either HTML5 cache.manifest doesn't allow video, or mp4/m4v videos get cached with a different name and then don't get found after caching. I'm hoping there is a way to do it, but I still haven't found anything.

We are putting together a dashboard using Chrome, that will be using Windows' kiosk mode. As part of this, the page will load a playlist of videos to be displayed back to back. The issue we are running into is that Chrome does not seem to be caching the videos (MP4s from a site we own), meaning we are dealing with a network load every time. This is observed by:
loading bar in the scrubber slowly making its way
videos stop loading when computer goes off line, even though they played 3 minutes ago
This is not ideal since it means we are network dependent and it also means we could chew through our data quota very fast.
Does anyone know how to force Chrome to cache these videos, or failing that a workaround to the issue?
I am trying to setup on my website where I can view a video in low resolution for space saving purposes, then if someone likes the video, I have added into the webpage a link for them to download the full hi-res video. The problem seems to be that no matter what I try I cannot get anything to actually download to my pc from the host server webpage video directory. I have tried many different options that I have found by googling the net. For instance

If you are using Opera this will "Stream" and play in your Opera Browser, It will not work on IE11, Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari. And Streaming is not what I wanted anyway, I want someone to be able to download the file to their harddrive to watch later.
Can anyone help me figure out how to be able to download to my pc from the webpage Download link? The primary browser I would like to use is IE, however I am trying to also go for multi-browser support.
* Edit *
After clicking on the link in IE11 it appeared to be thinking so I let it run and after about 5 minutes it started streaming. But I still cant download to my pc the file.
I have created a site that seem's to work fine in Chrome, IE and Safari however in Firefox v 35.0.1 (on PC and Mac), pages will load fine the first time, but if a Ctrl-F5 refresh is done, the browser will only load parts of the page. I can't get it to reload the page again correctly unless I navigate away from the page and then navigate back to it.
Go here on Firefox 35.0.1 and try reloading the front-page (or any other page for that matter) with Ctrl-F5 a few times...

If you don't manage to create a broken page by refreshing it, I'd be keen to know about that too.
On re-loading firefox misses out images and styles in an inconsistent manner, or just displays a 'connection was reset' message over and over again until eventually it decides to part-load the page again. While Firefox is displaying a 'Connection was reset' message, other browsers still have no problem loading and re-loading the same pages.
If this is ultimately resolved as a server issue outside of answers to this question, then I will post any info I have regarding the solution as an answer here.
UPDATE
Here is a link to a video of this occurring on every page of the site, plus a broadband speedtest showing 60Mb+ download speeds...

Yes, my computer is thrashing during this video, but the loading results are the same on PC's and Macs which are running properly too.
I have this site http://consyn.com/ in Joomla 2.5
I am having big trouble figuring out that why this site is too slow to load in Firefox, everytime browser hangs for 2 or seconds then loads it.
It loads normally in Google Chrome.
I have tried disabling Maps on the homepage but it has no affect.
Can someone suggest me what can i do?
As i analyze your problem in Firefox each and every website before the load not apply the style(css,js etc..)
but the other browser applied it that's why this website hang in Firefox but not other at starting time.
As you mention in your Question in chrome this website not load but after some time its also load in my computer.
As a solution in your Joomla 2.5 anywhere you search
QuotaService.RecordEvent
named javascript file are there and that is the problem,this file always send to request to something get,actually that which type of data always want that i can't locate but you search this file and check your code and change it.
So, I have an HTML page that includes a Silverlight xap file which plays a video. It works correctly while running locally and on our DEV environment when using Chrome or FF. The issue is when I am trying to view the video on our DEV environment using Internet Explorer. When doing so, it prompts me to Display Mixed Content. Whether I hit Yes or No, the browser crashes. I am able to go into my options and Enable Display Mixed Content, which fixes the issue and the video shows up correctly on the DEV environment using IE. But, this is not a good solution for a client facing site. Is there a way around this message to prevent it from crashing the browser?
A workaround for this is to use JavaScript to open the HTML page that contains the video in a new window. The user will still be prompted to Display Mixed Content, but it will not crash the browser and the video will play.
