exactly? nothing. The correct mime type is already included in the mime.types file
mp4 videos are getting played in current Chrome/Firefox/IE Edge versions on my test environment.

best wishes,

Ok its working.

Bit strange because its not working on my test machines but when its online working on the users side.
Thats the reason i cant test like localhost.

Thanks for your answer anyway!

I cannot reproduce this issue.
On my test environment the following code is working on Chrome, Firefox, IE Edge and IE11 from http://localhost/mp4.php

Code: Select all
<!DOCTYPE html>
<
html lang="en">
<
head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>MP4 test</title>
</
head>
<
body>
<
div>
<
video width="320" height="240" controls>
<
source src="SampleVideo_1080x720_1mb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
YOUR BROWSER DOES NOT SUPPORT THE VIDEO TAG.
</
video>
</
div>
</
body>
</
html>

Possibly it is set special settings for Local Intranet in IE or whatever test environment? That has been known to cause HTML standard compatibility issues.
