How to display video (mp4)?

[Geoff Callender <ge...@gmail.com>]

Has anyone got mp4 video outputting successfully within a page? In T5.4 or
T5.3.

What did you use in the template? I'd like to use HTML5 like the following,
but I'd settle for using the object or embed tag if I could get them to
work...

<video width="320" height="240">

<source src="${myVideoUrl}" type="video/mp4"/>

Your browser does not support the video tag.

</video>

What content type did you use? I've tried "video/mp4" and
"application/octet-stream".

The problem I'm seeing in T5.4 alpha 22 with the <source> tag is that the
request is issued, Tapestry returns a 200 with the right sized content (and
the header specifies "Content-Length"), but then the client issues the
request again (with Range: bytes=40- ) which the page responds to but
Chrome records as canceled and the video box remains black.

I haven't tried T5.3, but I'd be keen to hear from anyone who's got this
working 5.3 or 5.4.

It works in Safari on OS X!
It doesn't work in Chrome on OS X (as described earlier)!
Strange, since they're both based on webkit. Safari version is 6.0.5,
Chrome is 30.0.1599.101. Maybe it's something to do with the video codec
because I've found a video that has sound and Chrome plays the sound OK.
I guess this is no longer a Tapestry question?
