I have a .mov file embedded in a web page, using nested object and embed tags.
It displays fine in Firefox & Chrome, but just displays a Quicktime icon with a question mark over it in IE6-8.
Before it displays the icon, it runs the quicktime activex control and flashes the beginning of the movie up.
Any ideas on what could be the issue? I've tested that I have Quicktime and the Quicktime browser plugin correctly installed, and I can view other quicktime movies inside of IE8.
I suspect that it is the movie itself, but it still plays fine in Firefox and Chrome.
If I go to the file directly in IE, it runs correctly.
Maybe you have blocked Quicktime Activex or object tag is bad formed for IE try view source another website with Quicktime that work in IE and FX and download source code from view html
Or else you can use it
JW Video an File Streamer Server
It appears that the Quicktime plugin is just tetchy sometimes, so I ended up converting the file to Flash and posting it that way.

When I try to access a mp4 video url in IE 11 it prompts the user to download the video instead of playing it in the browser. But I am able to play the video in Chrome/Firefox. Here is a sample url, https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/ForBiggerEscapes.mp4
Is it because IE 11 does not have any in-built Media Player
How to make the video stream in IE 11 instead of prompting the user to download. Kindly help. I am using Windows 10 and IE 11.471.17134.0. Thanks!
Its because it is a file. It has extension .mp4
Any link with file in end will be downloading, except in modern browsers this option has changed to autoplay, since a player has been embeded in modern browsers. Thats why opening video or audio file with most popular extensions like .mp4 will be auto playable.
If on modern you want to download, then from menu toolbar choosing File->save (shortcut CTRL+S) on some for better faster response can right click and choose save video.
On IE it does just basic downloading.
Anyways would recommend to let IE stay on its own way and not use it for malware insecurities and vulnerabilities. Use from securest ones Chrome, Opera, Firefox or any other top browsers.
I received a video that I need to add to my website. I used a program, Easy HTML5 video to encode the video for my website.
When the video finishes encoding and saving, the video opens in IE using the local PC address c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\videos\video1.html and plays fine.
I then upload the video to my site and IE tells me "invalid source". I tried the video from my website via Firefox and it plays fine.
I thought it had to do with the mime settings on my server, but I verified that
fileExtension=".mp4" mimeType="video/mp4"
fileExtension=".ogv" mimeType="video/ogg"
fileExtension=".webm" mimeType="video/webm"
were correctly added to IIS. Does anyone know if this is an issue with IE 11, or might there be more mime types I need to add?
I'm not sure what happened. After posting the question I deleted all the videos and waited for a reply. when I got one I recreated the video to test and now it's working. All is good. Maybe I missed a step. Most likely, I'm thinking that the video might not have uploaded because Dreamweaver couldn't upload the video file since it was open in IE.
I want to embed an mp4 in my Rails 4 app.
=video_tag "movie.mp4", controls: true
This works in Safari. However, in Chrome, the play button is grayed out. In Firefox, which I never use and may not have the requisite plugin installed, it says "Video format or MIME type is not supported" in the video player box.
The video is about 100mb and was created with iMovie.
Shouldn't mp4s play in the latest Chrome and FF? Is this a problem with the way I created the mp4 in iMovie?
Edit: added image of network console:
Edit 2: If I navigate to /assets/movie.mp4, the movie still doesn't play, and this is what I get in the network console:
When I enter a WebM video URL in a web browser on Windows 7, the video automatically starts playing. But in Firefox on a Linux system, when I enter a WebM video URL it asks me if I want to download that video file, rather than automatically playing it in the browser.
This may be a silly question with a super simple answer, but what do I need to do to make this video play within the browser, rather than asking me if I want to download it?
When I try the same thing in Chrome in my Linux environment, the video automatically plays within the web browser as I would hope, so it seems to be something specific to Firefox in Linux that I need to change.
Go to this link http://webm.html5.org to verify that you can play WebM videos and make sure you update to a newer version of Firefox.
Issue
The embedded Youtube flash player only plays audio and displays a black box where the video should be in Firefox.
Site: Nexus Gaming Media
To see the issue try playing the video that appears when the above home page is loaded (in Firefox). The audio works fine but there's a black box where the video should be.
Despite the above issue other embedded videos work fine for me in Firefox. Such as the embedded video here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/youtube_player_demo
Tested flash player versions: 11.6.602.180 and 11.7.700.141 (11.7 beta)
What I've tried:
Re-installing the flash player
Using the beta flash player
Deleting all of the flash player cache files
Multiple profiles in Firefox
Modifying CSS values
Using a private browsing window in Firefox
Starting Firefox in safe mode with the default theme and all add-ons disabled
I cleared the history and cache after each modification and then I restarted the browser. The video playback works fine for me in Google Chrome (note that I have pepflashplayer disabled). Does anyone have any idea what's causing the embedded player to work in Chrome but not in Firefox?
Have you tried setting the wmode as a query string? (i.e. '?wmode=transparent')
