How can I notify user that file (using as source in HTML video tag) is not supported by browser? So I am looking for any event or property that can tell me that file is not valid or not supported by video tag.

<video src="sample.avi"></video>

Scenario:

User uploads some file into the system.
System shows just uploaded file as a preview.

Goal: Display message that selected video file can't be previewed (is not supported by video tag in this browser).

Thanks

This is not a case. You are talking about supporting of the video tag, but my question is related to the file that browser can't play. – Anton Kochev May 11 '18 at 13:51
@user770 thank you. It seems this is what I am looking for. – Anton Kochev May 11 '18 at 14:12
