Video.js: Video not played with type="video/quicktime"

[shenhf]

Video not play in Chrome, Workded after change type="video/mp4"

Is this a bug of video-js? Carrierware recognize .mov content_type to "video/quicktime", and all the .mov can't played in video-js player.

<video id="video_3" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls="" preload="none" width="768" height="576" poster="/video/29/3/poster.png" data-setup="{}">
<source src="/video/29/3/051-rails-routing.mov" type="video/quicktime">
</video>

Video.js passes the mime type you supply directly to the browser to check if the type is supported, so if video/quicktime doesn't work, then the browser is saying it can't support it. Or there's an error in the file that's blocking playback. You can see what mime types are supported in your browser here:

I had this issue too, and solved it by just not supplying the mime type at all if it's not one of the 3 that video.js has listed on its website.

switch (mime_type) {
case 'video/ogg':
case 'video/mp4':
case 'video/webm':
break;
default:
mime_type = false;
}

[mmcc]

Keep in mind that using unsupported mime types might work sometimes, but will most likely not play well cross-browser. The Flash fallback, for instance, only supports h264 (mp4), so be wary of using anything beyond the "blessed" html5 containers.

[akinnee]

Very true. In the application I used it in though, we do not supply multiple video formats. The videos are user's files which they uploaded, and we do not have the resources to create and store all the different formats. Letting the browser figure out what to do (load quicktime, play using html5 video, etc.).

Bad link to the mimes document.

@HeyWrecker found the old page and put it back up here: http://videojs.com/mimes.html

@akinne please help.... how did you get it to work for you? i would like to allow users to upload .mov and all cell phone mp4's and play them back in chrome. however, chrome will not play either format

[myconnec]

i am using rails and here is my video.js code " <%= videojs_rails sources: {mp4: @listing.pin_image.url, webm: @listing.pin_image.url, ogg: @listing.pin_image.url }, autoplay: true, setup: "{}", width:"450", height:"450" do%>
<% end %> for some reason i cant play .mov and some mp4 videos...

[mister-ben]

You've got to use formats and codecs that browsers can play. MP4s are only widely playable with the h264 and aac codecs. MOV isn't supported in HTML5 video.

You would need to set-up some type of transcoder on your server (for
example, ffmpeg) that receives the file and transcodes it to an HTML5
friendly codec. I'm not familiar with Rails so I can't give you the details
of how that would be set-up.

You could look to see if there are any existing libraries that extend Rails
to include a transcoder. Otherwise, you'll have to write a service in Rails
that calls / executes FFMPEG. For example, I've used the ColdFusion
to issue a command to FFMPEG in the past. To try to write a
transcoder on your own is something I don't think you want to involve
yourself in.
