    <embed src="images\s1.mp4" type="video/mp4" showcontrols="0" loop="true" autostart="true"/>

<embed> tags are only used for embedding objects like Shockwave Flash. <video> tags do not support <embed> tags.

You should only use <src> tags.

Also - add the autoplay and loop tags in the video element, not in the src:

<video id="myvideo" width="320" height="240" autoplay loop>
    <src="images\s1.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
    <src="images\s2.mp4" type="video/mp4"/>    
</video>

  • Thanks for your help, I have reviewed and was using IE 8 that does not support that tag. Now that I have updated to IE 11 I have not been able to make it play the video. – Focus0 Mar 14 '17 at 19:07
  • `src` is an attribute of the `source` element/tag. cf https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/source – Ekkehard.Horner Mar 15 '17 at 16:39
