User810354248 posted

In my asp.net web page i want to embed .mp4 video. I tried various codes but they have some limitations.

   <video max-width="100%" controls autoplay muted>
    <source src="YASHODA.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="movie1.webm" type="video/webm" controls>
    Your browser does not support the video tag.
  </video>
      

The above code plays sound only no video comes

some other videos asks for plugin

i am usiing this web page in local network without internet

Have you tried removing 'muted' attribute on video tag? Never mind, I thought, video comes but audio has issue. So suggested change for muted.

Anyway, Could be issue with your video or browser or any site settings? 

Try to play this in your browser to rule out the problems:

Did you check by enabling IE -> Tools -> Manage add-ons -> Enable "Shockwave Flash Object"

For Firefox Add-ons -> plugins -> Always Active "Shockwave Flash"

For IE8, try check below link

you must write this code in web,config 

<system.webServer>

    <staticContent>
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".mp4" mimeType="video/mp4" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".m4v" mimeType="video/m4v" />
    </staticContent>

  </system.webServer>

Hi Baiju EP,

As we already know that each bowser support the different file type of videos.

also your requirement is to run the video on more then 3 browsers and locally.

so I think that the easiest solution is to develop the code for particular browser and inform your users to use that particular browser to access this web page.

as it will be access locally so you can easily provide this information to your users.

another way is to do some Asp.net codding and check the browser when web page load in it.

and you need to load the supported type of video to their browser. so with this approach you can try to load video in any browser without get failed.

just you need to store your video in every file type extension.  it takes more space on the disk.

but if there are few videos are there in your site then this work around can work for you.
