i've mount hard drive to /home and other on at /tmp. i've store some videos in mounted drives but i cant play it on my website.. can any one tell me how to play videos?

What web server software do you have installed and how are you trying to access it, from a local machine, on a LAN, internet? And then of course, what happens when you try to access/play a movie?

i want to play videos on my website.

Then this has nothing to do with the hard drive, but everything to do with whatever code you've written for your website. There are a TON of player apps/applets available for playing videos on websites. But you haven't told us anything about what you've written, what language, what webserver, error(s)/message(s) you get, etc.

i'm using apache2. everything is working fine. but i'm facing issue of videos which i've stored in sdd, sdc and sdb drives. i'me using OVOO movie & Video Steaming CMS. i've already consult with OVOO support officer for that issue and according to them, there is issue with web hosting service.

in-short my question is that how can i access/play videos on my website?

i've attached screenshot for reference.

A "web hosting service" is different than a local machine. And you're not giving us any details at all....at this point we know it's apache, and that's it. Again, what did you write your web pages in? What player? Have you checked the logs for your website? Do you have **ANY** errors at all?? Have you looked at the permissions on those mount-points?

There is nothing (from a Linux perspective) that is an issue here...it's solely to do with your webpage and/or website configuration. And without information about those things, there's no way anyone here can diagnose things further.

Step 1: Check that your server returns a 200 OK response for a video file:

Code:

curl -ISs http://192.168.8.109/home/Hollywood/Alpha2018/Alpha2018.mp4

Step 2: Put the same mp4 URL in your browser address bar and check the browser can play it.

Step 3: Put a video tag in your HTML:

Code:

<video controls src="http://192.168.8.109/home/Hollywood/Alpha2018/Alpha2018.mp4">

[fallback msg]

</video>

Again: too many variables to answer. Are you running a DLNA server? Mapping a drive? Playing from WHAT?? (PC? Phone? Roku?), using what player?? There is nothing 'simple' about that question if you think about it.

Why would you store ANYTHING in /tmp, when it's sole function is to be temporary??? Consolidate your movies in one location, and if you'd like a real solution to your problem, you need to provide real details and answer the questions you've been asked:

What did you write your web pages in?
What player?
Have you checked the logs for your website?
Do you have **ANY** errors at all??
Have you looked at the permissions on those mount-points?
