Hi all,
I need to play mov files with jwplayer, but I don't know why on chrome and safari everything works but on FF and IE i have got an error: Error loading media file could not be played.
this is my code:
jwplayer("videoPlayer").setup({
file: urlVideo,
width: "100%",
aspectratio: "16:9"
});
I tried to add type option, but it didn't work .
i set type like this:
type: "mp4"
Please provide a link.

this is the link,
Your encoding is MPEG-4, but it needs to be H.264.
Ok, the video of the link is MPEG-4 , but trust me is not working with a h.264 video. I can't use the H.264 video because of privacy.
I ll try to get another video for you, do you think I need to set more option in the video player or is enough like this?
You have to use H.264. Neither Flash or HTML5 supports MPEG-4…
I can see that the same video is working on anotehr private website that is using your jwplayer (probably an oldest version).
i see that in their code they set the object like this.
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.linkfromdisplay = "true";
flashvars.autostart = "true";
flashvars.height = "385";
flashvars.width = "640";
flashvars.repeat = "none";
flashvars.displayheight = "360";
flashvars.displaywidth = "640";
flashvars.file = escape("NEWS0002.MOV");
var params = {};
params.menu = "true";
params.allowscriptaccess = "always";
params.allowfullscreen = "true";
var attributes = {};
attributes.id = "Player";
attributes.name = "Player";
swfobject.embedSWF("/embed/mediaplayer.swf", "Player", "640", "385", "9.0.0","/embed/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
Show me it please, would love to see. I downloaded your file and I know the encoding is wrong.

I will try to get a h264 encode video and I will show you! I cannot show you the other website because is a private website and only people that works with them can see their website.
Ok.
Here we go , now is a mov file codec h264, but is still not working on IE and FF but working in chrome and safari, should i add some options in my setup?

Replace:
hideLogo: true
With:
primary: “flash”
Mov is not supported in html5 video.
And hideLogo: true is not a variable for the player. If you actually want to remove the logo, you need to purchase a license.
Yes it works!! Thank you, I knew that the problem was the html5 player, but I didn't know how to set primary flash..
it was so easy!
Cheers
Np
Just another question, I see that this method is working in all browsers except on android devices, do you know why?
Because Android uses html5 and mov won’t work in the video tag.
