mp4 movies are not displayed in IE - video.js

I am using video.js to play mp4 video files.
It works fine in Chrome & Safari, but not in IE
Here is a link for a sample page:
http://www.shafan.co.il/gsPedia/Templates/Shafan/DisplayItem_NEW.asp?WordID=4485&Word=&CategoryID=143
The page is in Hebrew... Sorry... But you can clearly see where the video box is...
Thanks!!

check out the source on [http://videojs.com/](line 92). their video works in ie. i played a little with the plugin on localhost, and came across the same issue... try setting up the video plugin manualy (by running js code after video tag), as they did on their homepage (line 99). chears.

Netflix video does not autoplay on chrome

I am trying to autoplay Netflix video using Selenium on chrome on a Linux machine. I open the video using the following url: https://www.netflix.com/title/<video_id>. Normally, the video starts playing once the page loads. However, with selenium, the video page opens up and a play button comes up. The video does not play until I click button manually. Is there a workaround such as opening chrome with specific flags to disable this?
One workaround that I found was to mute the Netflix video. I think this has to do with the new updates to chrome wherein video can only be autoplayed if they are muted.

Video.Js Problems Viewing Cross Browser

I am completely new to VideoJs and media streaming on web pages, so please forgive me if the answer to this is obvious. I uploaded an MP4, OGV and WEBM file to www.sell2trade.com.au. If you view this page you will see that the video on the RHS works in Firefox, has an unsupported error in IE11 and plays the audio only in Chrome!! I downloaded the VideoJS sample and followed it diligently (I think!!) What on earth am I doing wrong!
Thanks for any help as tearing what little hair I have left out :)
The MP4 you're using doesn't appear to be compatible with Chrome. You can go directly to the mp4 url in chrome and see the same audio-only issue. You should try a different encoder, like Zencoder (paid service that I helped build) or Handbrake.
Also it looks like you swapped out the url for the video.js swf for a different swf that plays your video. That's not gonna work. You need to use the swf that's included with video.js.

VideoJS font not applied to controls in Firefox 22

I did everything according to the setup instructions and got the video.js player play my flv video. The only problem is that the UI is broken in Firefox 22 because the font that is loaded correctly is not applied to the controls. I only see a box with some numbers inside instead of a play button for example.
This works in Chrome correctly.
I double checked with Firebug that the font file is loaded from the server and there are no problems.
Firebug shows this when I inspect the play button:
content: "";
And if I hover font-family I see the VideoJS font sample displayed.
It was the same origin policy. I was working on a development subdomain but the font was hosted on the main domain and that's why Firefox refused to use it. (Chrome used it)

Play HTML5 video locally

I have created a presentation application with HTML, CSS and JavaScript which is going to be executed from a CD. Everything is fine with images and JavaScript but now I want to include a video. I have tried www.videojs.com and it is working fine in Chrome, but I can't get it working with Firefox.
How can I include a video inside a HTML page that can be played locally, without any web server involved? The browser is going to be Firefox portable only.

How to add mime-type for <video> element on Firefox?

Into this dir there are :
OGV video (Theora/Vorbis) for Firefox
MP4 video (H264/AAC) for Safari
FLV video with a flash player (player.swf) for others browsers
a template.html which contains a snippet coming from Video for everybody
a .htaccess to add the new types of video
Locally the video is correctly displayed on all browsers.
But online Firefox doesn't display the video and ask for a download. Though the mime-type is correctly set in my .htaccess.
Any idea to fix this problem on Firefox ? (I use 3.5.3 release on Windows).
Thank you. :)
Note: it sounds that this problem doesn't appear on Ubuntu.
Edit : my Firefox installation was bugged. Now it's working correctly. Thank you Rudism. :)
It may be worth trying it in Google Chrome which support video/ogg as well. May help you debug...
