I am trying to play a video using html5 video tag in chrome. when I play the video in a different file, containing just the video tag, the video is playing.but when I embed the video in the html file of node server, it is not.
The other functionalities of the node server are working as expected( I have build an dynamic drawing board, and its working on the server).
> when I embed the video in the html file of node server
What do you mean by embed? Surely you don't mean putting the video data in
an actual .html file.

actually, I have made a simple real time drawing board in node.js, using socket.io.Now, I want to embed real time video sync in the same file. So, to start with I just added a video tag to the html file of the node.js server(I am attaching both the files for your reference), to make sure that
at least I am able to play the video or not. nothing else changed in both server and html files.But, the video is not playing.I am able to play the video in the same file, by simply opening the html file in the browser or in the Localhost, BUT not on the node server. please help

Are you implementing the static file serving yourself? You're likely
not supporting the Range header and 206 partial responses, which HTML5
<video> tags expect to work properly. I'd recommend using connect's
static() middleware.

The only route defined in app.js is:
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.sendfile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});
Therefore "/" is the only route that will be served. If you also want to serve "/test.mp4", then you will need to define a route for that, or hook up some static middleware as Nate said.
So, how can I serve the video in the same way as I am serving the file, i.e. defining a route for that. right now, I am just giving the path of the video in the src attribute of video tag

BTW, serving files through node is slow and inefficient. I would never
think to send big video files through the V8 engine. Use nginx on the
front end, or another of several good options.
