html5视频和Firefox

更新时间:2023-12-03 07:56:58

事实证明,这既不是一个编码,也不是一个火狐问题 - 它实际上是GoDaddy IIS的问题 - 他们没有任何Theora MIME类型。

修复使用新MIME创建一个web.config文件并上传到托管服务器的根目录。
完美地工作。


So, I created a nice little html5 video player with a playlist and some jQuery transitions between the playlist view and the video view. It works great in Chrome/Safari. However, firefox is a different story. All the jQuery business works just fine; however, the videos do not display. Rather, I am left with a grey-x. I've tried switching from straight ogg to ogv format which does not work either.

When I go straight to the file the browser attempts to download it rather then play it. I saw a similar post on this forum where it was a problem with the MIME settings and he fixed it somehow. I'm not sure if that is the same problem for me - so a little help would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks for any and all help!

Turns out it was neither a coding nor a FireFox issue - it was actually an problem with the GoDaddy IIS - they do not have any of the Theora MIME types.

To fix create a web.config file with the new MIMEs in it and upload to the root of your hosting server. Works perfectly.
