HTML5 VIDEO BREAKS IN CHROME


Strangely, I have found very few places online to post this issue, so I'm trying here to see if I can get some answers. Perhaps the JW Player can help resolve this problem?

Chrome Version (Version 25.0.1364.172 m):
Operating System (Windows 7):
Extensions (n/a):
I'm using standard HTML5 video player code as follows:
<...TO SHOW CODE ONLY... video id=0 controls width=480 height=320>
<source src="MYVIDEO.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'/>
<source src="MYVIDEO.webm" type='video/webm' >
<source src="MYVIDEO.mp4" type='video/mp4'>
<p>Video is not visible, most likely your browser does not support HTML5 video</p>
</video>

NOTE: "...TO SHOW CODE ONLY..." is in there otherwise, the player actually appears in my post.

The video plays fine in all the latest browsers except Chrome. In Chrome, the video plays for 30 seconds or so, then the image corrupts, stops, and it won't play any further. When I right-click to "Save Video As," it tells me that Chrome is trying to play the .ogv version of the video. However, Firefox plays this same .ogv file with no issues which lead me to believe the problem is with Chrome.

You can see the video page here and try it for yourself:

Any advice or tips would be much appreciated, thanks!

This link works for me in Chrome on my Win7 machine.

You can check this link to see if you have the same issues in Chrome with the JW Player – http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/29251/mp4-and-webm-formats

However, if you are seeing an issue on your machine in Chrome with just <video>, I am not sure the JW Player will solve this issue, though.

Hi, thanks for the link. I would love to check it out, but, even though I'm logged in, when I go to it, I get: "Access denied--You are not authorized to access this page." hmmm....
