HTML5 Video Not Playing on Safari - Codecs guide?
I'm confused about I've been banging my head against this for hours....... I'm having trouble getting an HTML5 video to play on Safari (version 15.5). The video is encoded in H.264, and I'm using the following code: ```html <video controls> <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> ``` On Chrome and Firefox, the video plays perfectly, but on Safari, I see a blank player with no controls. I've checked the console, and there's no specific behavior message. The video's MIME type seems to be set correctly on the server side as well. I’ve tried re-encoding the video using different settings and ensuring it’s compatible with HLS, but I’m still running into the same scenario. Does anyone know if there’s a particular codec or encoding setting that works better with Safari? Also, is there a way to check what codecs are supported by the user’s browser to provide better fallbacks? I would appreciate any insights or debugging tips. Thanks! I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. Thanks in advance! I'm developing on macOS with Html. Is this even possible? What's the best practice here? What's the best practice here?
