VideoJS + MP4 file not working in Internet Explorer 9 on one server
Hello;
Following are the links to a very simple HTML page for testing the use of VideoJS & MP4 video. It is working on all browsers other than Internet Explorer 9 (HTML5 compatible) on one server:
This page (and movie) hosted on Godaddy does not let me play the
movie:
http://www.kosmos-productions.com/videoMontana.html
The same page hosted on 1&1 let me play the movie:
http://www.sbaud.com/mockup/video_MontanaSbaud.html
Do you know what could be the problem?
Do I need to check some settings on Godaddy server in order for
that MP4 movie to play in IE9?
I appreciate your feedback,
David

As soon as I changed preload from "auto" to "none" it started working perfectly in IE. I also have the .htaccess file modified with the right file types.

After spending 3 days trying to figure out why my video wasn't playing in IE9, I realized that it would only play if compatibilty mode was enabled.
I found this script at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7542456/how-do-i-force-compatibi...
and it worked.
Hope this helps someone else.

Hi all!
I have the same issue,
all my vids (in the html 5 video tag) play fine on my 1&1 server, but as soon as I uploaded it to my clients server IE9 won´t play any of the videos, in Chrome only one of the vids plays on my clients server...
How the hell can that be?
If anyone has any suggestion, please let me know, help would be really appreciated...
Take care and thank you!

Have you the right MIME type for the mp4 on the server?
video/mp4
/jesper

Switching from 'auto' to 'none' worked for me as well.

Mhm, I read through all the answers now, which I hadn't seen before...oops!
What's up with the the .htaccess file I couldn't find it on my server, it is supposed to lay there when I access it through my ftp client or? Or is it somewhere on my host side I have to check? Setting from autoplay to none is no option unfortunately, I need it to be autoplay...
Thanks for you help, it's apreciated!

Karlina:
The .htaccess file is a hidden file found in the root directory of your website. You would see it in your FTP client, but you may have to configure your FTP client to see hidden files....

Karlina,
It's not autoplay you (might) need to set to none, but preload.
Setting preload to none instead of auto helped me with my IE9 problemos.

Hey guys I had the same problem. In IE9 you need to set the poster.

here is another solution:

instead of type="video/mp4" I used type="video/x-m4v" and now it works in IE9 - silly!
