HTML5 - mp4 video does not play in IE9

2019-01-05 02:27发布

I have an mp4 video that I want to play in IE9 using HTML5 <video> tag. I added the MIME type to IIS 7 so if I browse http://localhost/video.mp4 it plays in both Chrome and IE9 but not in HTML5, Chrome plays the video in HTML though. Here's the code:

<html>
<body>
  <video src="video.mp4" width="400" height="300" preload controls>
  </video>
</body>
</html>

Any ideas?

Thanks

UPDATE:

Tried the same file in Firefox 5.0 and it didn't work either, only Chrome is able to play the mp4 video.

I have a base profile .mp4 video which plays on one server, and does not on another.

The only difference is:
one gives a header "Content-Length: ..."
the other "Trasfer-Encoding: chunked".

I found out that Content-Length is not needed, it is only important, that there should be NO chunked header. This can be done by turning off compression (deflate or gzip) for .mp4 files. How this can be done is another issue and another topic: How to disable Apache gzip compression for some media files in .htaccess file?

There can be another server issue:
it has to give "Content-Type: video/mp4"
and NOT "Content-Type: text/plain"

If any of these answers above don't work, and you're on an apache server, adding the following to your .htaccess file:

//most of the common formats, add any that apply
AddType video/mp4 .mp4 
AddType audio/mp4 .m4a
AddType video/mp4 .m4v
AddType video/ogg .ogv 
AddType video/ogg .ogg
AddType video/webm .webm

I had a similar problem and adding this solved all my playback issues.

From what I've heard, video support is minimal at best.

From http://diveintohtml5.ep.io/video.html#what-works:

As of this writing, this is the landscape of HTML5 video:

  • Mozilla Firefox (3.5 and later) supports Theora video and Vorbis audio in an Ogg container. Firefox 4 also supports WebM.

  • Opera (10.5 and later) supports Theora video and Vorbis audio in an Ogg container. Opera 10.60 also supports WebM.

  • Google Chrome (3.0 and later) supports Theora video and Vorbis audio in an Ogg container. Google Chrome 6.0 also supports WebM.

  • Safari on Macs and Windows PCs (3.0 and later) will support anything that QuickTime supports. In theory, you could require your users to install third-party QuickTime plugins. In practice, few users are going to do that. So you’re left with the formats that QuickTime supports “out of the box.” This is a long list, but it does not include WebM, Theora, Vorbis, or the Ogg container. However, QuickTime does ship with support for H.264 video (main profile) and AAC audio in an MP4 container.

  • Mobile phones like Apple’s iPhone and Google Android phones support H.264 video (baseline profile) and AAC audio (“low complexity” profile) in an MP4 container.

  • Adobe Flash (9.0.60.184 and later) supports H.264 video (all profiles) and AAC audio (all profiles) in an MP4 container.

  • Internet Explorer 9 supports all profiles of H.264 video and either AAC or MP3 audio in an MP4 container. It will also play WebM video if you install a third-party codec, which is not installed by default on any version of Windows. IE9 does not support other third-party codecs (unlike Safari, which will play anything QuickTime can play).

  • Internet Explorer 8 has no HTML5 video support at all, but virtually all Internet Explorer users will have the Adobe Flash plugin. Later in this chapter, I’ll show you how you can use HTML5 video but gracefully fall back to Flash.

As well, you should note this section just below on the same page:

There is no single combination of containers and codecs that works in all HTML5 browsers.

This is not likely to change in the near future.

To make your video watchable across all of these devices and platforms, you’re going to need to encode your video more than once.

Try the following and see if it works:

<video width="400" height="300" preload controls>
  <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

Internet Explorer 9 support MPEG4 using H.264 codec. But it also required that the file can start to play as soon as it starts downloading.

Here are the very basic steps on how to make a MPEG file that works in IE9 (using avconv on Ubuntu). I spent many hours to figure that out, so I hope that it can help someone else.

  1. Convert the video to MPEG4 using H.264 codec. You don't need anything fancy, just let avconv do the job for you:

    avconv -i video.mp4 -vcodec libx264 pre_out.mp4
    
  2. This video will works on all browsers that support MPEG4, except IE9. To add support for IE9, you have to move the file info to the file header, so the browser can start playing it as soon as it starts to download it. THIS IS THE KEY FOR IE9!!!

    qt-faststart pre_out.mp4 out.mp4
    

qt-faststart is a Quicktime utilities that also support H.264/ACC file format. It is part of libav-tools package.

Dan has one of the best answers up there and I'd suggest you use html5test.com on your target browsers to see the video formats that are supported.

As stated above, no single format works and what I use is MP4 encoded to H.264, WebM, and a flash fallback. This let's me show video on the following:

Win 7 - IE9, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera

Win XP - IE7, IE8, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera

MacBook OS X - Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera

iPad 2, iPad 3

Linux - Android 2.3, Android 3

<video width="980" height="540" controls>
        <source src="images/placeholdername.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
        <source src="images/placeholdername.webm" type="video/webm" />
        <embed src="images/placeholdername.mp4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="980" height="570" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" autoplay="false"></embed>  <!--IE 8 - add 25-30 pixels to vid height to allow QT player controls-->    
    </video>

Note: The .mp4 video should be coded in h264 basic profile, so that it plays on all mobile devices.

Update: added autoplay="false" to the Flash fallback. This prevents the MP4 from starting to play right away when the page loads on IE8, it will start to play once the play button is pushed.
