JW Player not playing MP4 video format videos in ie9 and ie10

Question

I implemented jw player 6 player in my web page. I could able to play mp3 files in jw player in both the browsers ie9 and ie10. But i couldn\'t able to play MP4 files in bot

Answer 1

Your issue here is the following:

Your file - https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/lyynks-assets/experiment/video/sample.mp4

Has this MIME-TYPE - application/octet-stream

It should be - video/mp4

This should be set on Amazon's end.

The reason this isn't working in IE9 and IE10 is because JW6 defaults to HTML5 mode for browsers that support HTML5 playback, and HTML5 is more strict about MIME-TYPEs than Flash is.
