Apache handling mpg and mp4
 

Hello all I am having an issue with apache handling these types of files, i've added the AddType for both in the .htaccess file and in the httpd.conf and still nothing

here's what im getting


"GET /profile_videos/tdatech/1368814103-ResizedVideo_1360449282341.mpg HTTP/1.1" 304 -

any help please?

Thank you for that , i was chasing a ghost in that respect then. However i guess the root of the problem is that its not handling MPG's or MP4's from my webserver. However ogg files work so I am still at a crossroads.

TypesConfig /etc/mime.types

in there i have

video/mp4 mp4 mpg4
video/MP4V-ES
video/mpeg mpeg mpg mpe
video/mpeg4-generic

Which is stock with the config so i know that's ok and here is my HTML.
Thank you once again for the quick reply's i always get here and the help.

I am still struggling with this one if anyone has another idea it would be very much appreciated.

Why don't you use the player to play the files. Use this code in your html file.
Now instead of this path
http://localhost/flv-avi-mpg-mov-mkv-mp4-player/b.flv
Give the proper path of the video file with sufficient permissions.
Now open this html file in browser and see if you are able to play the files or not.

Thanks mate! how come it wouldn't play nice with HTML5 though?

Right then found a few issues with this way , can't play these videos on all browsers

Have you flash installed in all your browsers?

Well yes but I'm looking for a method of users to upload videos in their profiles. How come html5 doesn't work any other methods you can suggest?

The HTML5 video may play in Safari, Chrome and IE 9 but not Firefox or IE 7-8. If you fix the MIME-type issue, it will play in Firefox.

If you’re using the Apache web server or some derivative of Apache, you can use an AddType directive in your site-wide httpd.conf or in an .htaccess file in the directory where you store your video files. (If you use some other web server, consult your server’s documentation on how to set the Content-Type HTTP header for specific file types.)
