I have searched a lot for this and found a lot of posts but none could help me. I am trying to show a mp4 video like this
<video width="640" id="video1" controls="controls">
<source type="video/mp4" src="~/Content/Videos/HelpVideo.mp4" />
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
But it always shows Error: Unsupported video type or invalid file path in IE11.
It works perfectly in firefox and chrome.
Even in IE11 when I right click on video and select Copy Video URL option then also it returned correct video URL which I get able to download and play properly.
The strange thing is when I try the same video in a sample project having only one html page and the same video in the same folder, it works in IE11 also!!
So can it be related to wrong path or something? I am using MVC4
I tried @Url.Content("~/Content/Videos/HelpVideo.mp4") for path but that also didn't work for IE.
I also tried adding mime type in project web.config file as well as applicationhost.config files
Edit
Just found in the network pan of developer tool of IE11 that mime type is going wrong for my videos, mime type is going application/octet-stream while it should be video/mp4
When I check this microsoft website for video support, http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/graphics/videoformatsupport/default.html it shows the correct mime types for videos i.e. video/mp4
So now the exact problem is known.
