Can't get MP4 video to play on IIS 7.5
-
The exact same web application is deployed on our IIS 8.5 server and runs correctly. Here is what is on my .aspx page ....
This is what is in my code behind ...
embed1.Attributes("src") = "Videos\" & sVideoName
embed1.Attributes("type") = "video/mp4"I set the source and type of the HTML5 player in the code behind because the video name is passed as a query string parameter. On the IIS 7.5 server, I have added the MIME type, ".mp4 video/mp4" and the Windows 2008 R2 server has the "Desktop Experience" feature installed. What am I missing to get this to work on my IIS 7.5 server ? :confused: BTW: I am using IE 11.

If you request the video file directly within the browser, rather than loading your aspx page, do you get the video, or do you get an error? If you get an error, then try opening the video file in a browser running on the server. IIS should give you a much more detailed error message for a local request.

I've made a new .aspx page with no code behind and discovered the following: 1) If I move the .MP4 file to the root of the website and reference it like this ...
The video plays correctly. However, if I mode the video to a subfolder on the website (/Videos) and reference it like this ...
The video does not play. It must be the syntax of the "src" attribute, but what is the correct syntax ? :wtf:

Try /Videos/QA.mp4. Assuming videos is at the root.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
Tried that. The error message I get is: "Unsupported video type or invalid file path" The weird thing is that if I reference the video from the root, everything works fine. Ugh. I'm considering deploying the website with the videos stored at the root and just move on.
