This tells me that there's a problem with the video encoding. If I use the console to get the playback error, I get MEDIA_ERR_DECODE : 3, which, according to the site I just linked to, meansĪn error has occurred in the decoding of the media resource, after the resource was established to be usable. In Internet Explorer's developer tools, I can see that it's getting a content type of video/mp4, and just to completely eliminate server issues I've tried it on both my local Apache install and my web hosting. When I load up the page in IE 11, I just get a video decoding error: This is the most basic version of my code (in the production site I'm running it with VideoJS on top, however whether it's there or not, this problem occurs so I've removed the code for it from this example): īut Internet Explorer refuses to play ball.

I've got my videos encoded in both H.264/AAC MP4 and WebM formats, and they work beautifully in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Mobile Safari etc. So I'm putting together a very video-heavy project with self-hosted videos in HTML5.
