John: Internet Explorer is a bit pickier about MIME types, so you need to make sure that your MIME type is correct. Your MIME type is wrong, the MIME type of your video is audio/mpeg while it should be video/mp4

Kevin: Your MIME type is wrong too, as it is text/plain, while it should be video/mp4.

Please refer to your server documentation on how to configure MIME types correctly.

Thanks. That fixed the error.
Now, for some reason, two of the clips start very "jumpy".
They were fine before and they are fine if you replay them.

I'm sure the H264 header is at the beginning of the file (I used QTIndexSwapper).

Any ideas what may cause that?
Specifically the first two clips.
All other seem fine.

Thanks!

This seems to play ok for me, but thing you could try it updating your layer from 6.3 to 6.4 though.

Remco -- thanks for the feedback. So this change needs to be done on the sever level? No on the HTML page that is calling the video?

Thank you in advance - Kevin

MIME types need to be set on the web server that is serving the video assets, not on the HTML.

I'm getting the same errors and I updated the player to 6.5. My video is hosted on amazonS3.

JW Player

User

Check the MIME type on the MP4. The amazonS3 servers are known to put the wrong MIME type on these files, which trips up the player, especially in IE.

Ethan Feldman

Yeah, usually Amazon sets it to application/octlet-stream, and it should be video/mp4.

The MIME type has to be fixed on whatever server is actually providing the video. In this case, that would appear to be Amazon (and they get this wrong constantly, for some reason!).

I am having this error with Firefox: "Error loading media. File not found". If place the JW player in my server everything works fine, but if I use the cloud JW player I get an error. Safari and Chrome do not have this problem. I checked the MIME type and is video/mp4
Any suggestion how to fix it?

OK, the link works now. But I'm not getting any error in any browser, including FF 23.0.1 on Win7.

Strange. It's failing in Flash mode, but not in HTML5 mode. So, it won't play in IE8. The console is showing a 403 permission failure.

And in FF under WinXP, I can't load the page at all - I keep getting the same "Forbidden" error message.

You may need to work with your web host to figure out what's happening here.

Thanks for your feedback. The cloud hosted player shows the same error in Win7 with FF. I do not get the "Forbidden" error message though.
If I upload the player on my server everything works fine in all configurations I tested.

In the MIME types directory of my cpanel mp4 is assigned to video/mp4. However I just saw that the video file has a MIME type of video/x-generic even though it was encoded as mp4 and has the mp4 extension.
Could that be causing the problem? I have to talk with my web host to see how to change it.

I'm still getting "Forbidden" on that page with FF in Win7 - I never even get as far as the video itself.

Full text of the error:

bc.. You don't have permission to access /emergenceJW.html on this server.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


That "500 Internal Server Error" is a sign of server misconfiguration problems.

Web hosting problems, not JW Player problems.

I'd be interested in what type of 500 error it is
usually 500.XXX is seen then one is able to pinpoint the error

It is weird. I also get the "Forbidden" error now (I didn't yesterday or this morning).
However if I copy any of the links and paste it in a new browser window the page loads without error. The cloud hosted player still gets the "error loading media" error in FF.
