I am using Website X5 Pro (v12) and having trouble playing video.

I created a page and dropped the video object, then select my MP4 source from disk.

The player control box is showing ok. When I preview the page I see the video player box and controls but only an icon for AVG player in the box and no video. When I click the play icon, nothing happens.

If you try to recode the video to another codec?

...if you export, before, in youtube site your video, and into your project put just a link for it, I am sure, your site is not heavy and the video will works fine...

Gabriele, the problemof whatyou sayis thatin many companiesget usedto blockyoutubeandfacebookfor example in thecompanyproxy.In that caseyou could notseethevideos.

Usingvideoson your serverthere are more options,andyou make surethat they will alwaysbe visible.

...ok; reading the online guide of website x5, the best supported video player seems to be Adobe Flash Player; your problem could be using AVG player, instead...

Hello David

The best coding to use, is H-264. (it's still a mp4 )

I have found out, that this gives the fewest problems in different browsers.

Kind regards

John

This is very frustrating.

If I select firefox browser when previeing site locally, all works fine. But, the built-in preview browser will not play the video.

I have adobe flash installed in my browsers.Also made sure the video format is H-264.

The built-in browser shows the orange and white VCL player icon instead of the video. Even if I change my local machine default video app to windows media player, I see this icon. Could this be a file associate problem with mp4 extensions? Others must have this working ok, how are yours set up?

Thanks
