WordPress Default Video does NOT play in IE8

Hey guys,

Alright so I have a private WordPress site hosted on a Windows Server 2008 R2 setup and I cannot for the life of me, get Video to display through WordPress’s default video player once embedded in IE8.

Works perfectly fine in Chrome, just not IE8. Audio appears to be fine, just no video. I’ve tried multiple plugins, etc.

I am just not sure what else to check. I’ve searched everywhere on the forums and could not find an answer.

The video screen displays with the Play Button, and when I click play it looks like it should be playing the video, but it’s just a gray screen.

My video is .mp4 format, and like I said, works fine in Chrome. I’ve seen others have the same issue on the internet, but cannot find a fix.

Help!
