I'm still getting both .mpg and .mpeg files dished out as Video/MP4,
and failing to play. The other formats play fine.
I checked your site at
http://web-sniffer.net and it's still sending
out the wrong content-type header in response to the http "get"
command.
It looks like your server's running Apache. The default file to set
this all up in Apache is the "mime.types" file. It tells the HTTP
server what file type to send based on its file extension.
See if your admin can locate this and edit it properly. (It's in
/etc/httpd/ on my system; it may be in a different spot on his.) Here
are a couple of relevant lines from the mime.types file on my server
(these are the defaults, incidentally):
video/mp4 mp4
video/mpeg mpeg mpg mpe
My guess is that he has "mpeg mpg mpe" on the upper line, too, so it's
never getting to the video/mpeg entry at all. It finds a match and
moves on, as I understand it. "mp4" is the ONLY thing that should be
on that first line.
Let us know, we'll try again!
