Question

I’m trying to play a video in a div tag in html
but when I used the following code, the browser asked if I want to download the video. I do not want to download it, I just want to play it. Also this message appeared in the div

“You need to install an extension to view this content”

I’m using firefox browser

This what I used in html file :

<div>
<object type="Brave/quicktime" data="Brave.avi" width="624" height="352">
<param name="pluginurl" value="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" />
<param name="controller" value="false" />
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
</object>
</div> 

Answer 1

Try using the video tag

 <div>
   <video width="700" height="450" controls="controls" poster="image" preload="true">
     <source src="where the video is" type="video/mov"/>
     <source src="where the video is" type="video/mp4" />
     <source src="where the video is" type="video/oog" />
     Your browser does not support the video tag.
   </video>
</div>

You also need to use a different video type. AVI file types are not supported in the html5 video tag.
