Video Plays on local computer but not web

My video which is a mp4 plays on my local computer fine but when I upload it to the web server godaddy to be specific it doesn't work in IE 9 but works fine in the other browsers. I have been trying to figure this out but I can't here is the web address for the site gologisticsusa.com

I know this might sound like a cop out answer but I do not check in IE 9 yet because it is not fully used by everyone. I would just forget it and leave it till you can get a better answer.
Eh, what? By that reckoning you shouldn't be testing on ANY browser as none of them are "fully used by everyone". You should be testing on EVERY browser available to you - most errors can be fixed with proper coding.
In this instance, it looks like you are trying to use the HTML5 <video> tag, but it has not been properly used. As such it doesn't work in FF and/or some IE. IE will show mp4 files but only if the encoding is correct - H.264. if it's in this format, you may need to set the MIME types up on the server. FF uses OGG or OGV for their video so you should look into FireFogg to convert it.
To set up the HTML5 <video>, it should look something like the below:
<video id="movie" width="200 height="200" preload="auto" autobuffer autoplay controls>
<source src="videos/INSERT_FILE_NAME.webm" type='video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"' />
<source src="videos/INSERT_FILE_NAME.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"' />
<source src="videos/INSERT_FILE_NAME.mp4" />

</video>
You can include a flash fall back file afterwards for all browsers that don't support the HTML5 video tag - such as olde IE.

Songs playing on one computer, but not on others.

I use my iPod on three different computers (Home/Work/brand new laptop). I recently upgraded my iPod from original 80gb to new Classic 160gb. Before I purchased my new iPod, I transferred my whole library (about 50gb)from my iPod onto my new laptop(using transfer software). Then when I purchased my new iPod I synced the whole library to the iPod. The problem is that when ever I connect my iPod to my work or home PC some songs have an exclamation mark next to them (and they don't play). So when I went to replace the "exclamation marked" songs from the laptop (where the whole library exist), I had NO exclamation marks. So my question is why do the songs play on one computer but not the others? Please help!

Burned DVD plays OK on computer but not on DVD player through TV

Did all steps through iMovie to make a DVD. No apparent problems surfaced during the process. The DVDs play fine on the computer but not on DVD player through the television. Suggestions were that I was using the wrong media, that the best was DVD-R. Same problem regardless of which was used: it may play well into the DVD and have problems when selecting a chapter, a slideshow or it can happen between chapters. There's no pattern to when it will malfunction or how it will appear. It manifests itself by slowing, going to jerky play or stopping completely; these problems may or may not be the same on DVDs that are made back to back but there is always a problem of some sort. I redid the DVD without a slideshow but the problem persists. I really don't want to do it without chapters but haven't tried doing it that way.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

James-
I suggest you try the disc on as many players as you
can get your hands on.
While it is good to have a player to test the final
disc on, you can't be sure that you're not facing the
quirks of just ONE player.
Of course this is no help if you only own ONE player.
The one that is your home DVD player. Many people on
these boards will reccomend the least expensive
player to use for testing. Often newer, less
expensive DVD players are more reliable than ones
that cost three times as much.
Have you had any success making DVDs in the past?
Very limited DVD making in the past but no problems such as this.
I really appreciate the responses so far and will look at all options. The DVD is quite full (an earlier response made note that this could be a problem) Since this is a church program that will be used on a vaiety of players, a disclaimer may be included explaining the possible problems.
Interesting that a lesser expensive unit could be more reliable...

My guess is a problem with the dot path notation. I'm always fighting with this. Most likly your local computer is using a virtual directory named VAFOINS_NEW (http://127.0.0.1/VAFOINS_NEW/) and your production site points directly to the VAFOINS_NEW directory (http://somesite.com/). On your live site the dot path notation you are using is expecting http://somesite.com/VAFOINS_NEW/. Dot paths are a pain and whoever invented them should retire as he or she has done enough damage.
I usually do something like this (I'm typing from memory so there will most likely be syntax error or two but hopefully you'll get the idea):
<cfset variables.dotpath="" />
<cfif listFindNoCase(cgi.script_path,"VAFOINS_NEW","/")>
<cfset variables.dotpath="VAFOINS_NEW." />
</cfif>
<cfinvoke component="#variables.dotpath#Componet.display"... />

Video plays on Root folder but not in Cgi-bin folder...Help!

Hello-
I just transfered my entire website content form one domain to another and for some reson my videos will not play on the new domain whereas they played correctly in the cg-bin folder of the old domain. I do not understand why and need your help to figure it out since I am not a flash guy.
Here is the link to the videos that are not working correctly. http://www.healthywaterlife.com/cgi-bin/d.cgi/phil/videos.html
My cgi guy says that all of the cgi is working correctly and he has stated that the problem lies within the code of the html. So here is the html code for one of the videos...
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="605" height="350" id="FLVPlayer1">
 <param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
 <param name="salign" value="lt" />
 <param name="quality" value="high" />
 <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
 <param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=http://www.healthywaterlife.com/videos/historyofkangenwater&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=fals e" />
 <embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=http://www.healthywaterlife.com/videos/historyofkangenwater&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=fals e" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="605" height="350" name="FLVPlayer1" salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" />
</object>
And yes, my server, codero, supports all of the cgi as the old domain worked well and was operating on the codero server.
Thanks for your help!

Are you sure that all the files have been uploaded?
The player.swf, the skin.swf, the actual .flv video file, and what about any javascript files used for Flash detection? So that could be as many as 4 files.
To test, paste the entire absolute address to each of those files directly into your browser address bar, like this:
http://www.healthywaterlife.com/videos/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
You should not see ANY file not found messages.
After verifying that each file exists on the server, then it's only a matter of correctly pathing all the Flash assets, and pathing includes correctly spelling file names (upper or lower case.. must be exact) as well using correct folder names.
To review Flash pathing:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Access AFP, email, Remote Desktop via VPN and local network but NOT web

How can I do this? Right now I can set up all these services where I can access them via VPN only, but not on the local network or via the web. If I want to access them via the local network I have to open up the ports in the firewall, however this opens up access via the web (not requiring VPN) which I do NOT want. How do I remedy this?

Video plays properly in iTunes but not on AppleTV via Airplay

I converted a few AVI files to MOV using Quicktime X and then imported the file into iTunes. The videos play just fine in iTunes, but they cannot be played on my AppleTV via Airplay. All the videos appear to load onto the AppleTV (control/play bar at bottom of screen appears), but one video does not play at all and the others only play audio. Again, they all play perfectly in iTunes.
Video info:
Kind: QuickTime movie
Codecs: XVID, MPEG Layer 3
Audio channels: 2
Total bit rate: 1,422
Thanks!

Try Using Handbrake (free) to transcode to M4v or mpg4 files....... thay are supported by ATV2 nand will appear fine. .avi is an old compression scheme and is not suppoted on ATV2

SWF works on any local computer but not on website

Hi Guys
I have developed a website using flash and xml. My export folder containts my swf file, html files nad xml config files (plus a numebr of images etc). The export fodler does not have any .fla files etc.
When running the site locally all works perfecctly, but when trying to run off the web there is text corruption and layout problems. I obviously though it was a pthing issue - so I sent the export folder to a friend (exactly the same contents as what is loaded on the site) and he can laucnh and view the site perfectly - so its not a pathing issue as far as I can see.
WOuld there be a reason why text is not visible when viewing off the web (but you can click here the text shoudl be - highlight then it suddenly appears). Also where text is located ont he design it has become double sapced ont he web version but not when running locally. I have checked all the permissions to 777 incase of an issue there.
If it was a pathing issue - why would it work on various other computers when senidng just the export folder (which contains no sub folders at all) it can't be taking anything fromt he root or parent folder as it wouldnt work on the other local machines it has been tested on?
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas as its really frustrating. I have folowed the logic of sending the output folder to other computers and it works perfectly (remember no subfolders or parent folders so its only looking for local files within the folder)....weird!?
Thanks

Thanks I will try and contact the hosting company now to find out - I am using Heart Internet: here is a sample of my xml file....thanks so much for replying :-) I thought it might be to do with server environment as wokring perfectly on multiple local computers etc....
Here is some of the xml code: i see some ISO mention at the top? Not too sure about what you mentioned regarding CDATA....but it appears in the xml below (I bought template and then just edited the text to change so didnt actually rite the code so please excuse my lack of technical knowledge- I am trying lol

Burned DVD plays in Mac computer, but not in other players??

I burned a DVD using iDVD and the disk played in my computer. I then tried to play it in my PC and also on my home DVD players and it didn't work. I burned another DVD and the same result happened: worked in Mac, but no where else. I originally used a miniDV disk and then modified it before sending it to iDVD for burning.
Why doesn't it play elsewhere?
How can I burn a DVD that will play in others players?
Thanks in advance,
Brad

Well, you need to check whether your DVD can play a "minus" DVD. Older ones can't. And Mac can only burn "minus" DVDs.
After I started making DVDs, we had to go buy a new player -- that was a year ago, and now we have to buy another new one because that one has a problem with sound, sigh.
this is a very expensive hobby! But I love it! Good luck.

Video plays fine in iMovie but not in Web Gallery ?

Hi
I managed to import some small video clips to iMovie 08 using Streamclip (converting to .dv files).
The movies play fine in iMovie - no problems. However when I publish to Mac Web Gallery (I only published "mobile" size), one of the videos always hangs at the same point. The clip starts playing but you can see the clip stop loading and then it stops playing at the exact same point about 3 minutes in.
The Web Gallery says the clip is 4mins 36secs long but it never plays it in full. I've removed from Gallery and republished. I've also deleted the project and started from scratch. Both have failed to cure it.
Also tried it in Firefox 3 and Safari - same result.
Why is Mac Web Gallery struggling to play all the clip?
Thanks for any input!
Martin

Which version of iMovie?
If you are on version 8.0.6, this is probably due to the use of speed changes like fast motion or slow motion.
If you have speed changes in your project, you need to stick to the pre-set tick marks of 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%, etc. If you use a custom percent like 58% or 139%, you will get weird audio behavior in your final product.

Mp4 and/or .mov files play on my computer but not on host server

I created a movie page using iWeb. When I save it and publish it to a local folder on my computer it works fine. But when I upload it to the server with my host company (not mobileme) the video does not play at all.
I've been on the phone with the host company and they say the file is too large (90mb) and it takes way too long to load. Another person at the same host company told me that the file had to be converted from mp4 to swf (cant find a free converter to do that with to test it) and lastly I've read and tried some of the post here but they don't work.
When I check the website on a PC thru IE, it gave me an exclamation mark on the bottom left hand corner of the browser. I clicked on it and here is the error:
self[...].src' is null or not an object
iWebSite.js line 496
I check google for this error but I cannot understand what the problem is.
If there is anyone out there that can help I would really appreciate it.
thanks

The file is a bit big and you would be better to upload it to somewhere like YouTube or Vimeo.
The suggestion that you convert it to flash is because this is a more universally acceptable format. A lot of PC users don't have QuickTime player installed.

Video files work on computer but not on published site

I am definitely missing something here.
I redesigned my website with iWeb and I am very pleased with the results. (The original site was done with Dreamweaver but then I migrated to Mac.)
I published it to my computer to check everything and then put it up on my server with a ftp program (filezilla. works for me). The page shows great on internet.
I now want to add a page with a newly created video. I drag the video clip on to the movie page I created. It is an avi file. On my computer it all works fine but when I publish it (to my computer to be sure it is OK), the video clip does not show up on the new page. I have tried with Safari, Firefox and Chrome. Same story on all.
I am afraid to upload it to the internet before I sort this out.
So my two questions would be:
1. What am I doing wrong?
2. What file formats does iWeb support?
thanks for any help.

The Miro Video Convertor is useful for format conversion if you want to provide as many as possible to encourage html5 playback in most browsers.
If you don't want to be bothered with all this, fallback players will use an MP4 (or MOV) in most situations and fallback to flash for browsers like IE. Examples are JW Longtail, FlowPlayer and VideoJS.
This method uses the QuickTime plugin. The problem is that, in a lot of cases, browsers will ask permission to run the plugin and visitors shouldn't be made to jump through hoops to get the movie to play.
Its worth the extra effort to make sure that as many of your website visitors as possible can just click and play.
A lot of people resort to Vimeo and YouTube but the problem with them is that visitors are tempted to leave your site at the end of the movie. Vimeo is better than YouTube in this respect and also has more customizing options.

Only parts of my songs from itunes match are downloading onto my phone. The full song plays fine on computer but not on iphone

I recently purchased Itunes match to download some of the songs from my library onto my phone. Everything downloaded fine. At least I thought, until I tried to listen to my music on my phone. I found that some of the songs that were downloaded from the itunes match are not fully there. The full song plays fine on my computer, however on my phone it will only play a part of the song and then immediately cut off and skip to the next song, while the display still says the other song should be playing. I tried turning off the itunes match and just re-synching the music from my computer itunes library to my phone but still encounerted the same problem. Is there an easier way of fixing this, or do I have to basically restore my whole phone?

Did you let the scan in iTunes finish before you enabled the service on the iPhone? If not you need to. Disable iTM on the iPhone, then launch the Music app and let the content clear out. Once the scan is complete in iTunes re-enable iTM on the iPhone.

.mov files play on my computer but not on friend's....

I burned several QuickTimePro-created .mov files to a DVD which I then sent to a friend. When she received it, she was unable to play any of the files and was directed to a webpage with lots of 3rd party plugins with no clear idea which one was needed.
Under Info on the files I see they are encoded with Sorenson H.263, MPEG Layer 3.
My friend has regular QuickTime (not Pro).
Thanks!

Thanks for your help.
She tried that but still no luck.
When she tries to play the file, QuickTime launches, bringing up a black box with no video or sound. After trying the maneuver you suggested, the only difference was that a progress bar appeared at the bottom of the black box and moved, as if a video was playing. However, still no video or sound.
Hmmm.....
