Hello,
I have a problem while playing video on IIS. If I am running my application from visual studio it works perfectly alright while I play video on localhost but as soon as I deploy it only my player.aspx gets launched but it doesnt play my video.
This is my code

HTML

$("#someVideo").append('<source src="<%=ResolveUrl("~/Uploads/Videos/' + urlParams['practice'] + '/' + filename[0] + '.mp4") %>" type="video/mp4">');

I have checked path using firebug it gives me right path but it doesn't play video at all. Please help me with that. I tried in google chrome as well but it doesnt work at all.

Firebug should also give you status code for that request, what is it?
If it's 404 double check your paths and files on IIS deployed application.
Also check if ".mp4" extension is registered in IIS with StaticFileHandler.

Hi,

Have you check that MIME type added in the IIS where you host the application?

http:

See the above link how to add MIME Type.

Thanks,
Viprat
