Help with adding MP4 videofiles on server tyo HTML page

[ozstar100]

Hi,

I am using Blue Griffin to build a web site and and trying to add some MP4 videos to the page.

This is the code I am using

 <video class="tab" controls="controls">Your browser does not support the
          &lt;video&gt; tag. <source src="VIDEO/Andy-Funeral%20Director-426.mp4"
            width="”500”" height="”400”"> </video>

and the browser is showing the player with..

No video with supported format and MIME type found.

The videos play on VLC etc.

What could I do to fix.

Thanks

oz

Don't use "-" in filename.

The code implies you have a sub-folder named "VIDEO" so try "\VIDEO\........."


But private hosting of video is not a good idea.

Thank you guys. Tried both but still no go.

I have contacted support, maybe they have turned something off to play vids.

Will get back.

I don't know if it's any help but the attached works for me. And using "-" in filenames doesn't.

Assuming now that you have the video properly named and in the correct folder the error msg could be browser related.


I recall a topic a year or so ago where the author had similar issues and video would only play on certain browsers. Of course you want your site to be browser-friendly and play in practically all.

Take a look at this HTML code guide

You appear to be lacking the 'type' tag


I found the topic I was referring to but most of it is not relevant to your issue.
