Directly Viewing WebM Or OGG File Works In Firefox But Not In Chrome

Post a Comment
I'm having an issue with getting local videos working for the HTML5 Video element. If I try and view a local OGG or WebM file directly, in Firefox 16.0.2 it works, but in chrome 22

Solution 1:

  • First of all try with adding support for more video types

video id="sampleMovie" width="640" height="360" preload controls

<source src="HTML5Sample_H264.mov" type='video/mp4;' />
<source src="HTML5Sample_Ogg.ogv" type='video/ogg;' />
<source src="HTML5Sample_WebM.webm" type='video/webm;' />

video

  • Second check your .htaccess file for content type - add mime type for webm, ogg, mp4

These solved my problem of playing video in HTML5 video tag. Hope it helps you too.

As i checked in the CHROME your content is not getting loaded with correct "TYPE"
