I have followed numerous posts for the last two days. Firefox won’t play the OGV file on this link, but works fine on the local server. The file is chmod 777.

This is in the .htaccess file:

SetEnv no-gzip dont-vary
RewriteRule . - [E=no-gzip:0]

<FilesMatch "^(?!.*\.ogg$|.*\.ogv$).+" >
    <IfModule filter_module>
        FilterDeclare   COMPRESS
        FilterProvider  COMPRESS  DEFLATE env=notogg true
        FilterProvider  COMPRESS  DEFLATE resp=Content-Type /text/(html|css|javascript|plain|x(ml|-component))/
        FilterProvider  COMPRESS  DEFLATE resp=Content-Type /application/(javascript|json|xml|x-javascript)/
        FilterChain     COMPRESS
        FilterProtocol  COMPRESS  change=yes;byteranges=no
    </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

AddType audio/ogg .oga .ogg
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType application/ogg .ogg
AddType video/webm .webm
AddType video/mp4 .mp4

I have this at the top of the page:

<?php ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off'); ?>

This is the code:

<video width="720" height="405" controls autoplay preload >     
    <source src="beautiful_soul_aw111.mp4" type='video/mp4' />
    <source src="beautiful_soul_aw11.m4v" type='video/mp4' />
    <source src="beautiful_soul_aw11.ogv" type='video/ogg' />
    <source src="beautiful_soul_aw11.webm" type='video/webm' />
</video>

When I do phpinfo I see that the server is ignoring my request to switch gzip off.

I checked using curl and the file is being served as the correct type:

curl -I http://www.beautiful-soul.co.uk/collections/beautiful_soul_aw11.ogv
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2011 18:44:03 GMT
Server: Apache/2
Last-Modified: Mon, 29 Aug 2011 17:44:49 GMT
ETag: "36976a8-4aba873976640"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 57243304
Content-Type: video/ogg

When I look at the page and get the page information, it shows this:

Location: http://www.beautiful-soul.co.uk/collections/beautiful_soul_aw11.ogv
Type: video/ogg
Size: 8 KB (8192 bytes)
Dimensions: 0px × 0px
Associated Text: AC_FL_RunContent(...

I do not know why.

  1. My .htaccess file would be ignored and GZIP is still enabled.
  2. Why the OGV file is found but is only downloaded in Bytes and has no dimensions.

    Yeah sorry for the late reply. I re-installed/updated firefox. This was solved by taking out the ogg version

    <video width="720" height="405"  preload controls autoplay >

    <source src="beautiful_soul_aw111.mp4" type='video/mp4' />
    <source src="beautiful_soul_aw11.m4v" type='video/mp4' />
    <!--<source src="beautiful_soul_aw11.ogv" type='video/ogg' />-->
    <source src="beautiful_soul_aw11.webm" type='video/webm' />
 </video>

    It plays fine in all the browsers now.

    Thanks

    Andi
