I need help getting my Hand Jive .MP4 (.MOV) video files to play on my new Media Temple virtual server:
http://hardcoreasl.com/handjive/
The video at the bottom of that page has played fine on other servers without me needing to do anything. When I asked Media Temple for help today, their response was this:
You will want to install darwin which is available at http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/streaming/
Please let us know if there’s anything else we can help you with.
That seems like overkill. I don’t need to really stream Quicktime, I just need my server to realize a .MOV file is the same as an .MP4 file so your browser’s Quicktime Plugin will recognize the file type but I cannot figure out how to tell my server to set those MIME types.
Do you have a solution?
If not, do you know someone who might know how to fix this?
I am running Plesk 7.5.3 if that makes a difference.
Not a lot of action here… sorry I can be of no assistance.
I know! I think I found the high-water mark for current readers: Watching MPEG4 movies works fine, figuring out how to get them to play is not.
Yeah, we love to watch them
… Oh, I meant to ask you, how are those banners on BE working for ya?
The Blog Exchange banners work great! That’s why I use them!
hmmm… maybe I’ll give them a try Thanks
Just make sure you design good banners and read my previous posts here about how to find greatest success on BE. Do a search on “Blog Explosion” here and that will bring up a ton of advice.
Media Temple will not help me and they refuse install the server software — even though they provide it for free on their shared servers — even if I pay them to do it and they recommended I go to the “chamber of commerce” to find someone to install the software.
