html5 video not found

    I have recently been getting a lot of emails from clients saying they are receiving an ‘html5 video not found’ error when trying to play videos.

    I cannot seem to duplicate this issue unless I have a poor WiFi signal:
    The page loads
    I hit the play button on the video
    I immediately encounter the ‘html5 video not found’ error

    The video does exist, however, and if I go directly to the video url, the video will play, although it will take a minute or so to load and actually show.

    Most of the video file sizes are 20-70MB, but some are much larger.
    I inserted all the videos when Flowplayer had this done on a per-post basis. Flowplayer soon updated to have a central location for all Videos and a shortcode to use. I have not used this feature as I have 60+ videos already inserted as individual posts.

    I did not include a link to the site as a username/password is required to see videos.

    In each of the videos you need to set the “Video Attribute” “Preload” to “none”. This is an issue with Chrome.

    In the next update I will change the default to none.

    Thank you. I will try this, however, I have not tried this in Chrome. I use Firefox and I believe most of my clients are using IE.

    enable “Use fixed player size” in settings.
    I use Optimizepress and any video needs it.

    If it doesn’t help: make a new page, insert one flowplayer only. Does it work? – If yes consider dependencies to other plugins. I get “html5 video not found” in optimize press if I insert two (!) flowplayer videos! If I put a Optimizepress “Video”-Element (also flowplayer!) between both, it works! No error “html5 video not found” any longer, both flowplayer shortcodes work. I sized the Optimizepress “Video”-Element to 1×1 pixel. With that “hack” it works.

    My code for each video currently looks like:

    [flowplayer mp4=”https://mywebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/p04_video.mp4″ height=”0″ skin=”minimalist”]

    How would I add the “Video Attribute” “Preload” to “none” or fixed player size to this? I’m not using the “Video” tab in the Admin menu that gives the flowplayer shortcode as I would have to redo all my videos. [Flowplayer updated to this right after I got all my videos up and I have never felt like spending hours redoing it]

    I currently only have one video per post.

    Oh … good idea to add settings in shortcode.
    Thats where I set fixed player: dashboard -> videos -> settings.
    settings is located under (!) videos, NOT in the part right hand.
    These settings are done for ALL vides.

    did it help?

    You can add preload="auto" to the shortcode.

    So the shortcode would look like this
    [flowplayer mp4=”https://mywebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/p04_video.mp4″ height=”0″ skin=”minimalist” preload=”none”]

    @egerlach Thank you for tying to help. ??

    I know this post is older, however, I upgraded the flowplayer plugin and re-did all videos and IE just does not play anything. I can now replicate this consistently. Works fine in Firefox but not in IE. Nothing even tries to load, just an immediate ‘html5 video not found’ error’

    preload is set to none on all videos.
    the server mime type for mp4 is video/mp4
    hosting for this site has been upgraded

    Is there a way to set flowplayer to skip html5 and only use flash? I know it’s not ideal, but most my client’s customers are on IE 9 or 11.

    I think I know the reason. I hope to release an update over the weekend that should fix this issue you are having.

    The update 1.9.2 has been released, let me know if it works now.
