Q: Safari will not play mp4 over HTTPS
Hello,
I have a file, sample.html, which contains only the following code:
<html> <body>
<video width="600" autoplay loop poster="placeholder.jpg">
<source src="sample.mp4" />
</video>
</body> </html>
The mp4 file referenced is the one downloaded from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1425
When I use Safari to access my page via http://myserver.com/sample.html the video plays without problem.
When I use Safari to access my page via https://myserver.com/sample.html only the placeholder image is displayed.
Using Safari 7.0.6 on Mac OS X 10.9.4
I have used http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html to check that SSL is correctly configured for my domain and it reports no problems.
How can I make the video play in Safari when accessed over https?
Thanks in advance,
Andy
