HTML5 Video, with Javascript to change source, not loading on Safari, fine on Chrome.

Good Afternoon,

I am currently working on a site that has a full page video background that changes video using javascript at the end of each video. It works perfectly on chrome or Firefox, however it just won't load the videos on Safari, it stays blank. When I look at resources in inspector, all I see is "An error occurred trying to load the resource".

Site - http://www.kingsarmspentyrch.co.uk

Any help would be extremely appreciated as it is driving me nuts!

Cheers,

Dave

Hey Dave,

I do remember reading somewhere that in order for HTML5 Video to work in Safari, you need to have QuickTime installed.

This could be the problem as I tried your site in Firefox, Chrome and Safari and the video played fine in all 3. (I have QuickTime installed and am using a Mac).

Hope that helps. :)
