    copied!<p>This code, from a file on my desktop, does not work:</p> <pre><code>&lt;video src="http://0.0.0.0:3000/assets/attachable/108/original/501Spotlight_PSUB.mov" controls autobuffer="autobuffer" type="video/quicktime" height="300" width="400"&gt;&lt;/video&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here are the network transaction(s?) for the video transfer:</p> <p><a href="http://project.touchstudios.net/public/broken.png" rel="nofollow">http://project.touchstudios.net/public/broken.png</a></p> <p>The video element returns code 4 - MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED</p> <p>This DOES work:</p> <pre><code>&lt;video src="501Spotlight_PSUB.mov" controls autobuffer="autobuffer" type="video/quicktime"height="300" width="400"&gt;&lt;/video&gt; &lt;!-- video file is on desktop too --&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here's the output for that:</p> <p><a href="http://project.touchstudios.net/public/working.png" rel="nofollow">http://project.touchstudios.net/public/working.png</a></p> <p>(note that pending status seems to be displayed permanently)</p> <p>I've fiddled around with Unicorn as well, and had similar problems. Maybe I didn't configure it properly. </p> <p>assets/attachable is in my public folder. My impression is that rails itself is barely (or not) involved with transferring/processing those files. </p> <p>I've added this line to config/initializers/mime_types.rb:</p> <pre><code>Mime::Type.register "video/quicktime", :mov </code></pre> <p>I have this output from rails console:</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt; Mime::Type.lookup_by_extension("mov") =&gt; #&lt;Mime::Type:0x1020992e8 @string="video/quicktime", @synonyms=[], @symbol=:mov&gt; &gt;&gt; MIME::Types.type_for("asdf.mov").to_s =&gt; "video/quicktime" </code></pre> <p>Is WEBrick (1.3.1) to blame here? This exact question was asked before, but not resolved. I'm hoping to be able to provide more detail. </p> <p>Any guesses? I can answer any question that'll help narrow this down.</p> <p>Thanks</p>
