Hello,
I'm trying to play the HTML5 video using the code below (ids have been taken from the demosntration examples):

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://html5.kaltura.org/js" > </script> 

</head>

<body>

  <video style="width:400px;height:300px" kentryid="0_swup5zao"

    kwidgetid="_243342"></video>

</body>

</html>

I saved the file in html and when I double-click the html page the video loads correctly in Chrome and Firefox. But when I open it with Opera (11.10) or IE9 the I receive the following message:

No source video was found

What could be the issue in that case? Thanks a lot in advance.

can you provide me with a url where your test file is running?

I don't have the file on a web server, I use it locally. Could that be a problem?
Either way, I can watch the video successfully on Firefox and Chrome

Isn't there any modification that I can make in order to make in work with Opera or IE offline?

since your viewers are going to have to have an internet connection to view videos using kentryid attributes, I would construct a page that immediately redirects to a page somewhere on the internet to preserve the illusion of doubleclicking on a file.
