Video playback in IE9 seems not to work. about html5media HOT 9 CLOSED

Could you give me a URL, or a piece of example code? IE9 supports native playback of m4v files, so it should have worked fine.

I include the video tag like this:

<video id="frontpage-video" src="fileadmin/videos/volcano1.m4v" 
width="470" height="328" controls preload poster="fileadmin/images/poster.jpg"></video>

when I click the area of the video, nothing happens but IE provides a contextual menu that allows me to click play. When I click play then, nothing happens. The whole thing works fine in Safari, FF and so on. Even IE7 does play the Video (in Flowplayer).

I forgot to add: the video on your demo page doesn't play either in IE9.

Internet Explorer 9 will only play MP4 files if it's configured to serve them using the mime type of video/mp4. There's a note about configuring Apache to server MP4 files correctly at the bottom of this wiki page:

I've dropped a support request to GitHub to configure their CDN server accordingly.

No problem. I've updated the demo page with the fix. Would you mind checking that it now works on your machine?

I'll check this on Monday since I am Mac user (and happy not to use IE) and my Windows machine is in the office.

Hi Dave,
it works very well on your demo site now. In my case I hat to change the line to fit .m4v suffix and it works as well. Thanks again :)
