.mp4 video files do not play, get x in browser
By Internet Handholding @ 12:11 PM :: 2056 Views :: 0 Comments :: Article Rating :: Windows
 

Problem: .mp4 video files do not play in web browser. Get a small box with an x in it.

In your Windows Internet Explorer web browser, when you click a link that goes directly to a file that ends in .mp4, the video file does not play. All you see in your web browser is a blank page with a little box with an x.

Solution: Play the file in Quicktime directly.

.mp4 files play in Apple's Quicktime player.

You can play the .mp4 file from the website directly in Quicktime.

Go to your Start menu and open Apple's Quicktime player. Go to File, Open Url and copy and paste the url with the .mp4 extension from your web browser into Quicktime.
