<video> tag in Sharepoint 2007

Question

I am trying to add a video tag to a Sharepoint 2007 website with no success.

I created a new Content Editor webpart and injected this code:

<video id="movie" width="320" height="240" preload controls>
  <source src="/videos/test.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"' />

  <object id="MediaPlayer" width="320" height="240" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject">
  <PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="http://www.domain.com/videos/test.wmv">
  <PARAM name="autostart" VALUE="false">
  <PARAM name="ShowControls" VALUE="true">
  <param name="ShowStatusBar" value="false">
  <PARAM name="ShowDisplay" VALUE="false">
  <EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="http://www.domain.com/videos/test.wmv" NAME="MediaPlayer"
  WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" autostart="0"></EMBED>
  </OBJECT>
</video>

The controls are loaded, the video is found when doing Save Video (so no broken link), but the video does not play.

What I did is do Save Page As to my local disk, and tada: It works.

I fiddled with the code several times. I noticed that Sharepoint does alter the code a bit but the same code works when locally so..

I also do not have the HTML5 doctype in my website. (neither locally).

Ideas?

Answer 1

What MIME type is Sharepoint serving the video as? It should be video/ogg, here's a Technet article on how to configure MIME types in IIS6.
