Check the server headers:

It's worth re-emphasizing for the time being, that if the MIME types for Theora video are not set on the server, the video may not show or show a gray box containing an X (if JavaScript is enabled).

  • is there any other way? since i dont have access to the "mime.types" file on the server i use. – Ravi Chins Aug 29 '11 at 12:33
  • Other than providing a Flash player alternative for Firefox or changing the video's encoding, I don't know of a workaround. If you can edit the directory's .htaccess file you can set the mime type there. – JJJ Aug 29 '11 at 12:45
  • yeha it seem that the directory dont have a .htaccess file and when i do try putting one up there. it just disappear after upload! dont really why this is so though! :( – Ravi Chins Aug 30 '11 at 13:55
