KALTURA IS NOT WORKING ON MP4 FILE
Tue, 09/14/2010 - 02:08
Hello Support,
We had a problem viewing mp4 file, url below;
http://www.marimethodonlinebootcamp.com/5821-2
Also we tried adding mime type to our .htaccess file since we don't understand this kind of file;
"Or by adding the "AddType" configuration directive in httpd.conf -"
We are on a shared server on hostgator.
Is there anything you can suggest on how to fix this issue?
Also we just wanted our videos viewable in an iphone/ipad, do we need .ogg file in the together with the .mp4?
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.

Same problem after encoding using Handbrake and h264. Ogg copy of the video worked fine.
Anyway I can get more information than the "Loading..." that fills the box?

can y'all give me direct links to the mp4 video files in question? I will analyze the files and amend the documentation to figure out what's going wrong. I have had this problem before, but neglected to do a screencast of the settings that worked, my bad. I believe it was some setting about progressive download or http streaming or prepare for buffering or header reorganization for streaming... I don't have handbrake on my system here (ffmpeg all the way) so I can't look it up.

Please check my file in the following link and give me the suggestions
I have two suggestions
1. try a different encoding; it may be that your mp4 is not encoded in a manner that is friendly for web streaming. See http://diveintohtml5.org/video.html#handbrake
2. (edit: I see you've already tried this) make sure your server mime types are correctly set. See http://www.kaltura.org/troubleshooting :: Mime Types
if you're still having problems with video display, please let me know. I suspect it's something to do with your mp4 encoding, I've had that same problem myself.
make sure you're using the mp4 source first in your
<video>tag to work around a bug on the iPad where only the first source is parsed by the browser.you just need to use one iOS compatible source (the mp4/m4v) and one ogg file (webM in the near future) for the video to play across all desktops, androids, and iPhone/iPads. like so
