embedded video endless loading but would not play.

I have just finished a new project which also contains about 15 videos. First i have uploaded the videos into the project itself but the latter has become too big (2.5gb) and kept crashing when trying to publish to moodle. so i have uploaded all the videos (.mp4) onto a server and link the video using the URL. Captivate detect the video as i can see the thumbnail of the video. However when i preview the project the video goes into an endless loading mode but it would not play. I would be very grateful if someone could assist with this please.

Previewing will not allow you to view using a URL link, you'll need to publish to a webserver and use in URL format to the IP address,  or LOCALHOST://, for the URL link to remote media to work.

I have now uploaded the scorm package on moodle which is on a web server. All videos are on a separate web server each having a unique URL which i used to link to the package. But it would still not load, any idea why? What do you mean by URL format to the IP address? see image below

Many thanks
