Solution 1

The webserver might not be sending the correct MIME types. Depending on the server you may be able to add a .htaccess file with the following:

AddType video/webm .webm
AddType video/mp4 .mp4

If that doesn't work try searching for "server mime types".

Solution 2

Go to IIS Manager. Click MIME Types Under IIS. Click Add Button. Enter the following Details.

File Name Extension: .webm MIME Type: video/webm

Again Add, File Name Extension: .ogv MIME Type: video/ogg

And File Name Extension: .mp4 MIME Type: video/mp4

Solution 3

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="ho.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="ho.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video> 
</body>
</html>

this code worked fine for me...Found it from w3schools.com...Incase you still have issues try to add the mime types in the iis manager

no video with supported format and MIME type found

A huge screen for video is displayed and says the message above. How do I solve this? This happens to me only in Mozilla Fire fox and not on Google Chrome. I am using webm videos and mp4 videos.

This is for html5 video.
