I'm having trouble with playing 15 minute HTML5 videos on 52weeksofbeauty.com using IE8 under XP. They play but after 3 minutes or so of doing nothing. Firefox works great and Chrome too but not IE8.

The Video Support People at HTML5VIDEOPLAYER.NET said to add the following:
video/mp4 .mp4
video/ogg .ogv
video/webm .webm

I did that in the Mime Section of the CPanel and still no luck.

The player falls back to flash if the browser has no support for it. I have 3 of the above file types uploaded to the public root directory.

Any Suggestions? I have experimented and think it could the the 15 minutes of HD video that is the problem. I have tried a less than a minute video and it worked fine in IE8. I have the same problem with IE9 in Windows 7. It went away when I downloaded IE10 for Windows 7.

Site Spinner was used for the site.

Thanks,

Arnel,
In answer to the encoding of the 3 file formats, it is done automatically by Socusoft's HTML5VIDEOPLAYER.NET software.

Their software is dedicated to doing just that.

Jacob, I tried your test version and still the same thing. It just sat there.

Now back to trials involving the original video not the test version.

I tried the video on a Windows 7 64 bit with i7 processor and 12gb of ram with IE9 and the same thing. Then I read that IE10 has much much better support for HTML5. So I downloaded their beta version and that worked very well on the same machine.

I also have problems with Windows 8 and Chrome. And finally, I've had some problems with Opera and Safari in both XP a slower machine and Windows 7 the fast machine.

On Windows 7 64 bit that is fast Chrome, IE10 and Mozilla work.

It is interesting to note that Mozilla plays the video flawlessly on all machines and operating systems tested.

Maybe the Firefox folks got it together.

Any other thoughts please let me know.

Thanks,

chrisjackson
