I am hoping someone has an idea on what I can do to help me play HTML5 videos on my local intranet.
My Web server= Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64bit IIS version= IIS7
Test User environment = Windows 7 Enterprise
Video plays perfectly using 'Google Chrome'
Video fails to play using 'IE10'
My html code is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<video src="AccReadings.mp4" width="400" height="300" preload controls>
</video>
</body>
</html>
My test machine using IE10 does play HTML5Rocks video 'http://craftymind.com/factory/html5video/CanvasVideo.html'

Make sure you set the web server to use a MIME type video/mp4
for .mp4. I accidentally set .mp4 to use MIME type video/mpeg
, the video plays in Chrome, but not in IE11.
Also you need to make sure the video uses H264 video codec and AAC audio codec
I just had a similar problem, my own site HTML5 did not work at all. No error message just blank.
The reason was Windows7 N (EU - no media player).
After installing the Windows Media Player, this (and also other problems) are fixed. I hope it helps :)
