IE11 Error: "Error loading media: File could not be played"
My video plays fine in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome, but not IE11. Here is the link: http://asf.3abn.org/videos.html
The error reported in IE is: "Error loading media: File could not be played". The F12 developer console reports an error string of "MEDIA_ERR_ABORTED: 1, MEDIA_ERR_DECODE: 3, MEDIA_ERR_NETWORK: 2, MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED: 4, msExtendedCode: -2147467259".
However, if I add this site to the IE Compatibility View list, the file will play, but it buffers the entire 300-400 MB before starting.
Having read many similar reports on various websites, I found that the most common cause is a bad or missing MIME declaration. However, my .htaccess file has the following:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
AddType application/rss+xml .rss
AddType application/xml .xml
AddType video/mp4 .mp4 .m4v
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/webm .webm
</IfModule>
So I don't understand why it won't work.
