Which video formats are supported by videojs library ?

[mstdmstdd]

Hello,
I installed videojs library as it is writtem at this example
https://videojs.com/getting-started/#customize
It works ok, and in backend be be uploaded and viewed on fronternd, but only for some video I tried to play

For some video I try to upload and to show I got error message:

The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

Properties of this file:

1.Metr saves.avi

Reviewing the videojs.com site I did not find any information about which format it supports.
Actually I new very few about video formats. I know some extentions(like avi, mp4, mov etc...) and I know that with the same extention can be different formats.

If there is a way to extend list of supported formats and a way during upload to get error if this format is not supported?

Thanks!

AVI is a container. The player needs to support AVI (so it knows how the file is built) as well as the underlying codecs used for the video and audio. Your video is MPEG4 and AC3, which should definitely be supported given how common they are.

It's more likely the "the server or network failed" part is what happened. Use your browser to watch network requests at the time the player tries to load the video, then verify (a) it was able to partially download anything and (b) if you try to open the URL yourself, like manually, like right-click Open or copy URL or something, that it works.

It looks you are right, maybe that is server issue, at least with rather big files.

Could you please to look at it online by https://www.votes.nilov-sergey-demo-apps.tk/admin/page-content/edit/1 (it has credentials)

At the second tab “Images / Videos” there is possibility to upload images/videos.

Now it has 4 videos uploaded, first 3 are ok for view but last 1.Metr_saves.avi has 46mb in size I suppose that is why
I got error in JS console:

video.js:142 VIDEOJS: ERROR: (CODE:4 MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED) The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported. MediaError {code: 4, message: "The media could not be loaded, either because the …rk failed or because the format is not supported."}

But I am not sure, at least I uploaded the file on my OS (ubuntu)

That is laravel5/php7.2/apache2 app and in apache2 config I have options

memory_limit 2048M
upload_max_filesize 200M
post_max_size 200M

Could ypo please try to upload several video files of different type/size, set size for them and click save? If uploaded it would be accessible in listing below...

Thanks!

If I had videos to test with I could try.

It is looking like AVI format isn't going to be commonly supported. If you want to allow people to upload it then you should transcode it on the server to something else more portable, like MP4.
