I want to serve a mp4 video in a HTML document but it doesn’t

  • 0

I want to serve a mp4 video in a HTML document but it doesn’t play on the live server. Locally it works.

Even using only the file without any HTML it does play when I use my local Apache. On the webserver the iPad says “Movie could not be played”

The header for the file is “video/mp4” on both Servers.

What could be the problem here?

Regards

UPDATE:

Header local Apache:

Accept-Ranges    bytes
Cache-Control    max-age=86400
Connection    Keep-Alive
Content-Length    8993646
Content-Type    video/mp4
Date    Thu, 23 Feb 2012 14:40:58 GMT
Etag    “733258-893b6e-36d96c80”
Keep-Alive    timeout=15, max=100

Header live server:

Cache-Control    max-age=86400
Connection    Keep-Alive
Content-Length    8993670
Content-Type    video/mp4
Date    Thu, 23 Feb 2012 14:40:40 GMT
Keep-Alive    timeout=15, max=100
Server    Apache
X-Mod-H264-Streaming    version=2.0

What’s also weird is that the Content-Length differs from local to live…

    Solution is a wrong Conten-Length header from the live-server. After fixing this problem it worked.

    Collegue fixed server settings, so I don’t know excactly what he did. Just that the lenght is now the same as on my local machine
