Embedded videos

[castania pilonga]

Hello,

I am trying to embed local videos in my Sphinx project. I do it following this thread:

https://groups.google.com/g/sphinx-users/c/_z00m3zoRAY

After running make html, I can see the browser shows the little video window but it does not play it, it shows the following error:

I tried converting my .mp4 videos into .webm, but I got the same results.

What should I do to have embedded videos?

Thank you!

I uploaded the built files to my remote web server and published them, just to check if publishing it from a real webserver could fix it, but it still shows the same error.

This might as well be a client-side error, not a sphinx one, but it's a
shot in the dark.

There is another extension to embed videos, that I would like to use but
I had no time yet to test it, perhaps you can give it a try:

HTH,

Thank you. In the end I did it with raw html and iframe. Thanks!
