I recently switched to Flowplayer (I was using VideoJS before) and I encountered yet another problem with our beloved Internet Explorer.

I’m trying to show an mp4-video (.h264-codec) with flowplayer, and it works perfectly in all browsers (chrome, firefox, safari, opera), but not in internet explorer. Strangly enough, in IE9 it just says «Video file not found», while in IE7-IE8 it says «Unsupported video».

<div class="flowplayer">
   <video poster="/videos/poster_bbb.jpg" width="222" height="125" src="/videos/bbb.mp4"></video>
</div>

I also tryed using the tag inside the tag, I tried reconverting the video, I tried using an absolute and web path to the video, all without results.

Note: Since the user should be able to upload his own .mp4 video, I can’t use other tags for .ogg or .webm

Thanks in advance!

    from the post

    If you want to embed an MP4 video on your site to display on IE then you will need to use the following code changing videofilename.mp4 to the name of your video

    <OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" 
WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="256" >
<PARAM NAME="src" VALUE="videofilename.mp4">
<PARAM NAME="autoplay" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="controller" value="true">
<EMBED SRC="QTMimeType.pntg" TYPE="image/x-macpaint"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download" QTSRC="videofilename.mp4" 
WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="256" AUTOPLAY="true" CONTROLLER="true">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
