I have an .ogv file set up at [removed link]

I’ve tested playing it directly in Chrome and it plays fine. However in Firefox (3.6x) it only shows the loading circle animation. Upon checking Firebug I see that Firefox keeps downloading parts of the file, then starting again.

I’ve check the MIME type via curl and it is delivering the proper video/ogv.

Any ideas about why this might be happening?

    I was able to solve the issue. The issue was due to having gzip enable on my server. Firefox cannot handle ogv requests properly if gzip is enabled.
