The graphic designer created a camtasia video yesterday and im just trying to upload it to our production server. When i navigate to the html page the video and screenshot of the video show without issue. When i click play the media bar shows up down the bottom but nothing will play.
Any ideas?
Thanks
It sounds like your web server may need to have the MIME types for the Flash MP4 format configured?
This article might help - MP4/FLV/SWF Flash plays on local machine, but not from server or network
Whoever manages your web server should be familiar with setting up the MIME types and can check with Adobe if you have further questions.

We are building a content delivery system, where users can upload videos and view (playback) the uploaded videos on their browser.
We need to provide offline support on viewing side. The videos files should get downloaded to the local storage and the HTML5 video tag should point to the downloaded video.
Has any one tried this before, Is this possible? what are the major challenges? any inputs on this is really appreciated.
I was wondering if it is possible to stream to the user HTTP Live video. NOT a video file.
LIVE video. Using any technology. Flash or HTML5. I did some research and most of the players I found support live streaming but most of them mean youtube-like style streaming, where you can click further in the video and get the video loading. I am talking about LIVE video, happening the same time the user watches the video.
I got the incoming HTTP packets, stored in a file called "current_frame.h264". This files gets updated as the packets come in. It does NOT grow in size, just get updated. (stays at around 17-20kb). Now I want to take this file and show it on a browser. Anybody can help me out?
Apple developed something like that a while ago: https://developer.apple.com/streaming/
All you need is a webserver and a HTML5 enabled webpage.
With this technology you also have the ability to stream different quality files based on the connection (mobile usage for example)

I'm having an issue with html5 video and safari 5. It works locally, the video pulls up and everything is fine. It will also pull up on the server if I go directly to the video path. Im just using the video tag and loading a video. It works on the server in all other browsers supporting html5 video. It works locally. It just doesn't work in safari on the server. In the network panel it shows the video trying to load but returns a null 404. The path to the video is relative. I'm very confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I had a problem very similar to yours. HTML5 video/Safari working locally but not when published on server. First check your .htaccess file. You may need to modify MIME types. Here is a very good tutorial: Dive into HTML5 Video.
Second, and this solved my problem, are you serving from a protected site? The solution for me was to move video and audio files to an unprotected folder and then use an absolute path to the specific media.
I am trying to embed QuickTime movies into my HTML/ASPX pages but somehow they work on local machine but when i deploy them on my server they dont play at all. I tried all sorts of options but still unable to find a reason for that.
anybody else have been though this issue ?
I did a quick research and find few resources but even though following them works on my local machine but not on production. I am wandering , do i need to setup some sort of streaming to just embed few videos files or what ?
and yeah i did follow the apple article too (who put the blame on simply internet explorer) while my firefox shows the same result. I got the image (startup) but no video as i click to play.
One video is of 11 MB while other is 50 MB. I renamed the files by removing all the spaces now and i can see the QuickTime plugin initiating but after a while the Question Mark is appearing on the QuickTime Logo. Mime type is also video/quicktime so which is correct.
Actually the issue was not with my Page, The QuickTime movies require QuickTime (mov movies) and ITune (m4v movies)to be installed on Server. Hence after installing both softwares, the issues are resolved
How large are the videos? If you are not streaming the plugin may need to download the entire file before it can play, whereas locally it does not. That could cause a very long pause before the movie starts.
Point your browser directly to the movie's URL — not the containing page. See what error you get. Also, is the MIME type correct?
In our website,a media file is being played in the HTML when it loads with the help of flash. We encounter a problem in firefox when autoplay is enabled.
It seems that when the HTML loads some binary data from streaming corrupts the HTML header and hence is not able to detect the MIME-TYPE and so asks to save UNTYPED-BINARY data.
How do i solve this??
The server is sending the wrong MIME-type. The best suggestion I could give would be to make sure that the MIME types are set up correctly on the server.
Plus make sure that you have Flash player installed for firefox. Place flashplayer detection in your code: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/swfobject.html
