OK, I've seen various answers to this problem but none of them have worked for me. When I add videos to a website they work fine in the preview. Then when I upload it, none of the videos work. The url is www.roberttaylorfamily.com/limited.html. Please let me know what's wrong. When I open in another window, I get a 404 error however I don't know why the links would be broken since I used the media/html video command. Let me know. Thanks

Correct answer Nancy OShea

Yes

When I go directly to this URL : www.roberttaylorfamily.com/M2U00228.mp4

This is what I see. This says the MIME type is not mapped. Looks like you're on Windows hosting. Contact your hosting provider to help you.

This is what I get

HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

The most common reason is that the files have not been uploaded to the correct location. Check the files on the server, e.g. the 'extras' link points to E:\kunden\homepages\4\d271917705\www\family\hats.html , meaning that hats.html should be located in in the 'family subdirectory under the 'www' root directory.

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

Thanks for your reply Ben. I didn't think that extra links would determine whether or a not a video played. However, I took your advice and just deleted the links entirely. The videos still do not play. Also, I took Nancy O'Shea's template from another discussion and made it my index page (www.roberttaylorfamily.com) and I still do not have video. Any other reasons for this?

It's the same problem with that URL. Your video is not on the server.

Incidentally, you don't need other fallback files anymore. MP4 is supported by all browsers and mobile devices.

Missing Video File:

The link to video is relative to the page. In this case, you must upload video to your server's root folder.
