Not able to play mp4 video on Chrome Browser

Question

I have download a sample 5Mb mp4 video from http://www.sample-videos.com/ . I am not able to play video on chrome browser. I am using simple html5 video tag

But When I upload same video on facebook it is playing fine on chrome browser

What I've tried to do is:

<video width="560" height="340" controls> <source src="../Videos/5 Taara_HD.mp4"
type='video/mp4'></video> 

Answer 1

Possible solution:

1) if want to autoplay=> add autoplay muted onloadedmetadata="this.muted = true"; else remove that, it will work fine in every browser.

2) Add muted

<video width="560" height="340" controls  autoplay muted onloadedmetadata="this.muted = true" > <source src="../Videos/5 Taara_HD.mp4"
type='video/mp4'>
 Your browser does not support the video tag.
