    Hi,

    I have a lot of videos I have stored on the server, that I don’t want to post on youtube. When i try to embed the videos in a post, the videos do not play in IE or Firefox.

    I have the videos coverted to the following format .ogv, mp4, webm

    I am using the following code in the post.

    <video id=0 controls width=480 height=360>

    <source src=”/videos/networkmarketing/leveragingappsmlmclass/leveragingappsmlmclass.ogv” type=’video/ogg; codecs=”theora, vorbis”‘/>

    <source src=”/videos/networkmarketing/leveragingappsmlmclass/leveragingappsmlmclass.webm” type=’video/webm’ >

    <source src=”/videos/networkmarketing/leveragingappsmlmclass/leveragingappsmlmclass.mp4″ type=’video/mp4′>

    <p>Video is not visible, most likely your browser does not support HTML5 video</p>

    </video>

     

    However I am able to go to the link directly and it plays in IE

    [video src="http://www.chadethompson.com/videos/networkmarketing/leveragingappsmlmclass/leveragingappsmlmclass.mp4" /]

    Hi,

    I don’t believe that should be an issue caused by the theme. It does seem your code snippet here posts the reasoning behind why it’s not working <p>Video is not visible, most likely your browser does not support HTML5 video</p>

    You appear to be using a html5 player.

    Perhaps there are plugins that may assist in displaying videos from your ftp rather than from youtube or another hosting service.
