Hello,
I need to place a mp4 movie on a page.
I simply dragged the movie on the page and it plays fine in Freeway preview. Once uploaded to the site however, all I see as a page with an quicktime icon and a white question mark over it?
I have to avoid that the mp4 is way to big (80Mb) but it worked before so what is the reason it won’t work now?
All help is greatly appreciated!

Does your hosting provider have the mp4 MIME type set correctly on
their server? If you type in the exact URL to the movie file
(something like http://example.com/folder/Resources/movie.mp4 ), does
it appear and play in your browser?
If this is the issue, then a help desk ticket could be in order, to
have that file-type configured correctly on your server. Or you could
try using an .htaccess file to do the same thing:
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
Put that on a single line inside your existing .htaccess file. If you
don’t have one, then use Transmit or another dedicated (S)FTP
application to create and edit one.
If this step causes your server to panic and issue 500-series warnings
to every request you make of it, then back out of the change (either
delete the line or the file, depending). You will have to resort to a
help-desk request to make the change in that case.
