Web server configuration for audio and video
The first thing you need to consider when serving video and audio is
that you have to make sure the correct
MIME
types are sent in the
headers. The
MIME
type sent by the server should match the value set
in the
type
attribute. On the common Apache server, this means using
the
AddType
directive. This can go in the server configuration files or in
an .htaccess file in your website directory. The relevant values for
HTML5
audio and video are as follows:
AddType audio/ogg oga ogg
AddType audio/mp4 m4a
AddType video/ogg ogv
AddType video/mp4 mp4 m4v
AddType video/webm webm
