Why doesn't my mp4 video play from an HTML5 Course?

I have an online course that consists of 6 slides.  4 of those slides are for delivering streaming video from a Flash Streaming Server. Per our LMS Solution Provider, I have modified the streaming path names so they point to the mp4 files on the streaming server.  I have the same online course that is published as HTML/SWF to SCORM2004.  That version of the course has the video place holders pointing to the same directories on the Flash Streaming Server, except the stream path/name points to the FLV video files.  That course plays just fine.  I have a Flash Streaming Server test tool from my LMS Provider that I can use to test the mp4 video files to ensure they stream properly.  I have tested the stream names that point to the mp4 files using that tool and the video file stream just fine.  When I launch the same course from our LMS using the content that was published in Captivate 6 as HTML5 to AICC specs, the course launches but the mp4 video files do not play. Keep in mind that they are set to stream and not download.  I can advance thru the slides using a playbar, but the video will not play.  Is anyone else having this kind of problem? Any ideas on where I can look?

I have tried Google Chrome ver. 26.0.1410.43 m.  I have also tried in IE 9. It is my understanding that these are HTML5 compliant.  Since posting this question, I saw some additional information in a different area of the Adobe Forums that suggests that it is not possible to stream MP4 Video from an Adobe Captivate 6 course that is published to HTML5. It was not real clear in the way it was stated, but it seemed to imply that you can embed MP4 video but you cannot stream MP4 video using RTMP from a Flash Streaming Server.  I am now trying to get someone to confirm that statement from the Adobe Captivate 6 Team. I assume that the Captivate 6 Team monitors this forum.

    Why doesn't my imbedded video play on iPad?

    Is it running flash? Because the iPad 2 does not run flash. Or it could be a bug in the embeded video. Run the debugger and see if that helps. Good luck :-)

  • Why won't YouTube embedded video play from PowerPoint?

    I have followed the normal process to embed video in PowerPoint 2010 (32 bit), and playback worked without issues a couple of months ago.  Now it does not.  I have completed all of the troubleshooting tips, and reinstalled latest FlashPlayer 32-bit, etc.  When I go to play the embedded video in PPT, the following message appears:
    "To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe website."
    There does not appear to be any settings changed in browser (IE / Chrome), Windows Media Player, or PowerPoint.
    Need a solution.

    I went back to the embedded video code from YouTube, captured it and pasted it into the "insert video from Web site" and then deleted both "version=3" instances in the code:
    <object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/od8cUvPyvsg?hl=en_US&version=3&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/od8cUvPyvsg?hl=en_US&version=3&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
    That seemed to do the trick! 
    Many thanks for that help.  Not sure what caused prior embedded videos to no longer play - that still is baffling, because I hadn't done anything with the code until today.
    Gracias!

  • Why doesn't my converted video play in iTunes but on my iPad?

    Hey folks,
    I most recently converted my AVI DVD Backups to comply with my iTunes / iPad / iPhone environment.
    One of the TV Shows ("Arrested Development" if anyone cares) shows some kind of awkward behavior:
    Device
    Sync / add to Library
    Plays
    iTunes
    yes
    no
    iPhone 4
    yes
    yes
    iPad 1
    yes
    yes
    The files doesn't seem to be corrupt, as they play perfectly fine on VLC, but when I launch them in iTunes the Video window opens in the correct size, but remains black. Even if I stream the movies through home sharing to other iOS devices it plays fine. I used iFlicks to convert the files.
    File metrics:
    Thanks

    please guys, any Idea?

  • Why doesn't iMovie import video directly from the iPhone 3GS

    We here quite frequently that Apple offers a better overall experience than the competition because they make the whole widget... I was SHOCKED to discover that iMovie will NOT recognize my iPhone 3GS... Doesn't Apple make both products and their OS's (Yes, I know they make both)?
    iMovie imports video from my FLip HD just fine... This is very disappointing... And yes, I figured out how to do it... Import it to iPhoto, export it as a .mov and import it to iMovie... This is crazy, Apple!

    What I find shocking is that if you open iMovie and select "Import from Camera..." the iPhone doesn't show up.
    For further clarification, I have turned off the option to open iPhoto or Image Capture automatically when a camera is attached. I don't that option to import photos from my camera because they are automatically imported to my computer via the eye-fi card in my camera.
    I do expect that when I open iMovie manually and select to "Import from Camera..." that the iPhone will be recognized as a camera. My FLip mino HD is recognized and it is awkward to then have to open iPhoto, import the movies, export the movies and then import them to iMovie to modify them and move them to my Apple TV.
    I have provided Apple my Feedback on both their iPhone and iMovie sites.

  • Same mp4 video plays fine from one drive but not recognised from another??

    Everytime I drag and copy my MP4 video files from my internal drive to an external one, it then no longer plays from the external drive.  The external drive is working fine, and if I render the video directly to that drive, it previews and plays fine.  This only happens to MP4 files I copy from internal drive to this external drive
    Something seems to happen to the file when I copy and paste it or drag and drop it. 
    As I drag it I and when it lands in the folder I copied it to, the preview thumbnail is here for a split second, then switches to a regular QT icon - when i try to open it, it then says file format not recognised - even though the exact same file plays fine from the original location on my internal hard drive
    This is driving me mad - any ideas - must be something simple?
    Any help really appreciated

    I used MPEGStreamClip to transcode the audio file to AIFF (over 1500 kbs @ 48khz) with better results. With the iTunes volume set at full and with the volume adjustment option set at 100% (which is 50% above flat), the AIFF file played through iTunes, produces about the same decibels as playing the file through VLC with the VLC volume at full.
    Thanks much for your help.
    I believe some of the problem is with the original file being a bit too quiet to begin with. Putting it into analog terms, it's kind of like a 1 watt pre-amp signal when it needs to be a 4. Do you know of a way to increase the audio output level through the cable box fire wire port so it can be captured at a higher audio level to begin with?

  • Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

    Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

    Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com.  You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
    No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said.

  • Why doesn't Lightroom organise videos/photos lacking "date taken" by "date modified" instead of "date created"?

    This still seems to be a problem with Lightroom 5. This post is one of the top results after trying to Google this problem, and it's for LR3. I can't understand why something so fundamental to video (and some photo) organisation has been overlooked for so long.
    I've been trying to import and organise all my old photos and videos by date with LR5. They've been backed up and copied many times over the years, most recently to an external drive last week. So every file has a "date created" of last week. But "date modified" remains the original recorded date.
    This doesn't matter for photos with a proper EXIF "date taken" - but LR5 looks at the "date created" for videos, making it completely useless for organising them into date-based folders. It puts videos I recorded in 2010 (as per "date modified") into a 2014-12 folder. Why.
    It's not just a video problem - some photos I took with devices that didn't record EXIF "date taken" are also filed into folders from this month, even though the "date modified" on them is correct as being from 5 years ago.
    How can I rely on LR5 for importing and date-based organisation when it relies on files (lacking "date taken") having never been copied or backed up?

    Hello,
    I use exiftool to modify the  Creation and Modification time of the files. After that I use LR "Ajust time" feature to set the time of the movies in LR to the file creation time (last point). This works fine for me.
    For MOV (Quicktime):
    exiftool "-FileModifyDate<TrackCreateDate"  "-FileCreateDate<TrackCreateDate"
    For AVI:
    exiftool "-FileModifyDate<DateTimeOriginal"  "-FileCreateDate<DateTimeOriginal" *.avi
    Depnding on your camera (and container format mov, avi) you may also ajust the time zone, e.g.
    exiftool -FileModifyDate+=1 -FileCreateDate+=1 -if "$CameraModelName =~ /EOS 600D/i" *.mov
    Which time in the container (MOV, AVI) you use as source, depends on your workflow. I edit my mov files before import. Therfore "CreateDate" is the time when I edited the file. Quicktime and (some) avi file contain a time when the containing stream was created. I use this vaule as source.
    exiftool <filename> gives you detailed information about all available times.

    I have not got quicktime on my desktop pc - I have not loaded any plugins for quicktime - so why does one play and not the other? - and how can I get the other to play please?
    (I have updated my graphics driver )

    Are Forums any good? - whenever I post I always end up having to answer my own question eventually! - aaah well, anyway for the benefit of anyone interested I suspect it is flash player in firefox browser that is playing the MP4's and perhaps it cannot cope with the higher resolution format.

  • Why is my .H264 rendered video playing in IE with darker colours?

    I have created a video using black text on a white background. When I use Media Encoder to export as a mp4 file, the finished video always plays in Internet Explorer with a grey (instead of white) background. My graphics card is ATI. My colleague tried it on his computer and it played with a white background as intended. His graphic card is NVIDIA.
    Under 'Project settings' in After Effects, I set the working space colour settings to: sRGB IEC61966-2.1. I read that you cannot choose colour output in Media Encoder so I put a 'Color Profile Converter' effect to my layers with the output profile set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    After rendering out as a lossless avi and then using ME to create a mp4, the video plays back in IE with a grey background. Most confusing... and I am wondering what I am doing wrong as I found a mp4 video that plays with a white background here: http://media.w3.org/2010/05/video/movie_300.mp4
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Rick, I have turned off colour management and the video still plays with a noticeably grey background.
    In the attached screenshot from Internet Explorer 11, my video is on the right, and the video I found is on the left.
    In Firefox and Safari my video plays with a white background, it's just Internet Explorer that plays it with grey. Is it possible that it is Internet Explorer's problem and not my video render settings?
