[Stephen Magladry]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_6; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.21.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.5 Safari/533.21.1

A file create with Miro Video Convertor refused to play as a .ogv in a standard <video> block  in FireFox. After changing the name to .ogg and updating the supporting html code, the file plays as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a .ogv file using Miro Video Convertor. I also experienced the problem with ffmpeg2theora
2. use a standard <video> block such as found in html5Bad.html.
3. Browse to web page http://itechieguy.com/Movies/Test/html5Bad.html
Notice: The video box comes up with an X in it.
4. Rename the .ogv file to .ogg.
5. Update the standard <video> block such as found in html5.html
6. Browse to web page http://itechieguy.com/Movies/Test/html5.html.
Notice: The Video plays as expected.


Actual Results:  
.ogv file does not function correctly.


Expected Results:  
the .ogv file to function correctly.

Opera plays either scenario correctly.

Reproducible for me on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:7.0a1) Gecko/20110623 Firefox/7.0a1

Setting resolution to NEW.

In Google Chrome and Opera works fine.

-> invalid
We don't support playing text/html documents. You should your server setup to send the correct content-type

Vlad: The product Firefox is basically only the Userinterface of the browser but this is related to the content. It would be great if you move the bugs to the correct component if you confirm bug reports.Core:general would be a start, core:video/audio would be the right component if this would be a valid bug.

It's text/plain, not text/html, but Matti is correct: we don't sniff the type on HTML5 media elements, so you need to make your server send the correct type... or at least no type, in which case we'll do the right thing.  Looks like the Apache text/plain bug strikes again.  :(

I should not comment if I'm nearly sleeping.
I meant of course :
We don't support playing text/plain documents. You should change your server setup to send the correct content-type for that file.
