I'm getting closer!
One thing I missed was to import the videos using tiddlywiki import, rather than just copying them from the server file system into mywiki directory. So I was missing the .meta file.
Now if I put this imported name within the <source src="BigBuckBunny_SampleVideo_1280x720_1mb.mp4" type="video/mp4"/> statement, I get an error message.
If I just put the imported video name within {{ }} then I can play it, but without any controls of the visual.js / Twtube plugin, see below.
BTW I can play without issue your video that I copied into my test tiddler, probably because this is a network location rather than a server file.
So all of this seems to lead to a file location or permission problem. I'll have to play with Firefox Web Developer tools to find the address / file location that is asked.
Have a good day.
