Playing MP4 video
I am trying to play MP4 videos that are stored in a Media Library.

I am using a HTML 5 video player to view these videos. I have the correct url to the file. If I add the file to a <a> link then right click and save as I am able to download the file so that is fine, but when I try and play the video chrome inspector is is returning a 404. I have added the MIME type in iis. I am out of ideas??? I can't find anything in the documentation. I have been stuck on this one for a couple of days. Any suggestions? Do I need to set up something else in iis? I have added <add key="CMSVideoExtensions" value="avi;mp4;mpg;mpeg;wmv;qt;mov;rm;flv" /> to the config file. Do I need to add some sort of custom handler??

Thanks..

RE:Playing MP4 video
Here is the code I am using..

string HTML = string.Format("<video id=\"my_video_1\" class=\"video-js vjs-default-skin center\" controls preload=\"auto\" width=\"640\" height=\"264\" poster=\"my_video_poster.png\" data-setup=\"{0}\"> <source src=\"{1}\" type=\'video/mp4\'> <source src=\"{1}\" type=\'video/webm\'> </video>", "{}", pathToVideo); - this is being passed to a literal control in custom web part.

URL is retrieved by (FileGuid is hard coded for testing):
MediaLibraryHelper.GetMediaFileUrl("B64350CE-195A-4376-82B8-8E2357349775", CMSContext.CurrentSiteName);

Hi,

From your description it is not clear whether you have made the changes mentioned in the documentation or not. Could you please confirm?

Best regards,
