I have a m3u8 stream provided by Plex Media Server, and when i look on chrome or FF it works great, but when going to the page on IE9 it says:
The video could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
this is the code I used:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Video.js | HTML5 Video Player</title>
<link href="video-js.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script src="video.js"></script>
<script>
videojs.options.flash.swf = "video-js.swf";
</script>
</head>
<body>
<video id="example_video_1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls preload="none" width="640" height="264"
poster="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.png" data-setup='{}'>
<source src="http://ip:port/video/:/transcode/universal/start?path=http%3A%2F%2Fip%3Aport%2Flibrary%2Fmetadata%2F1&fastSeek=1&X-Plex-Platform=Internet+Explorer&offset=0" type='video/mp4' />

I tried adding the following plugin: https://github.com/videojs/videojs-contrib-hls
but no luck there.
Anybody got any clue what I might be doing wrong?
From the readme, videojs-contrib-hls does not support Internet Explorer < 10 unfortunately. I don't have the exact details, but it's because the tech requires more advanced and better performing javascript than is available on IE9.
btw, in your code the mime type is 'video/mp4'.

I am trying to implement a videojs player on a basic web page with the Sublime skin.
I have added the source links from the videojs website, copied the html and css from the codepen above however the default player is loading and not the skin. The web page also never stops loading, I have to hit the x button on the browser.
The console is fine and there are no errors.
I think I am missing something but I don't know what! Any help appreciated. I don't have a live version of this web page but if it helps I can put it online. Thanks!

while using laravel 5 and google chrome to return the view that include a video tag
I can't get to allow video seeking I found that it could relate to not
accepting range in laravel but being quite noob I don't know what to do??
<!-- the view -->

It looks like you're using VideoJS as a video player. This is where you'll be able to handle scrubbing and jumping to a timestamp within the video. I'd check their documentation for the best way to handle that, and look at your Google Chrome dev tools console to see if there are any JavaScript errors.
There isn't currently a non-JavaScript way to start a video at a specified point, so I don't believe Laravel is the culprit here.
My requirement is to play a flash video (flash plugin is installed in the browser).
I have written the code by referring to how to play flash(.flv) video using video.js in chrome
But it's not working for me, the problem I observed is src tag is not getting replaced with obj (its happening in their case).
Can any one help me to understand what I am missing
My code:
<video id="my_video_1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls preload="auto" width="400px" height="268" data-setup='{"techOrder": ["flash", "html5"]}'>
<source src="http://www.mediacollege.com/video-gallery/testclips/20051210-w50s.flv" type='video/x-flv'>

I tried the code from your reffered link and it worked for me in Chrome browser (Windows).
Here is a quick demo example. The source code for that demo page is below. Compare with your own page code to see what could be wrong.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title> Example - Video.js </title>
<link href="http://vjs.zencdn.net/4.7/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="http://vjs.zencdn.net/4.7/video.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<video id="my_video_1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls preload="auto" width="640" height="268" data-setup='{}'>
<source src="http://www.mediacollege.com/video-gallery/testclips/20051210-w50s.flv" type='video/x-flv'>

Can anybody tell me why this is working for Firefox and Chrome, but not for IE9, 10, or 11? It's giving me the typical black screen with a small white square containing a red X.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML5 Video Player Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<video style="position:fixed; top:0px; left:0px; height:100%; width:100%;" autoplay controls>
<source src="./videos/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="./videos/video.ogg" type="video/ogg">
</video>
</body>
</html>
Things I have already tried:
- Adding the MIME type to .htaccess
- Re-encoding to make sure the MP4 are properly H264.
- video.js didn't help at all.
I have also tried just using 'File' > 'Open' and opened the MP4 locally on my machine using IE, and it plays just fine like that, so I think the video should be properly encoded and everything for IE.
For IE9 use meta tag something like
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
I've been working on a musician's site with html5 audio playback. Everything works fine in Firefox and Chrome, but IE has been giving me issues, and I narrowed it down to the way I'm loading the media.
Part of my strategy to obfuscate the media source is to have an audio tag with no source, then add the source via javascript.
If I manually write the html, IE10 honors the preload="none" attribute, but if I don't include the sources and add them to the DOM via javascript, the preload attribute is ignored.
Example 1 works as intended:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML5 audio test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
This is an audio tag with two source tag children of different types. Preload is set to none.
</p>
<audio id="audiotest" preload="none" controls>
<source src="test.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="test.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>
</body>
</html>
Example 2 loads starts to download the media despite the preload attribute:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML5 audio test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
This is just an audio tag with preload none with javascript adding the sources.
</p>
<audio id="audiotest" preload="none" controls>
</audio>
<script>
var oggSource = document.createElement('source');
oggSource.type='audio/ogg';
oggSource.src='test.ogg';
var mp3Source = document.createElement('source');
mp3Source.type='audio/mpeg';
mp3Source.src='test.mp3';
document.getElementById("audiotest").appendChild(oggSource);
document.getElementById("audiotest").appendChild(mp3Source);
</script>
</body>
</html>

I was trying to figure out why none of my controls were working in IE. I figured out that it was downloading every single track and locking things up. Using the dev panel in IE10, the network trace confirms the issue.
Is this an IE bug? Do I need to figure out different ways of obfuscating my sources?
