Description

My videos show fine in Firefox. In IE, the filename is displayed, which isn't even clickable, and you cannot play the video (flv).

It's not a permissions issue; it fails for admin user.

I'm running XP, IE 6 SP2, Add-on Shockwave Flash Object Flash9c.ocx, "Play videos in web pages" is enabled.

I have the exact same issue

This is because (at least in the version I am using) jquery_media wraps the file link in incorrect tags.

I'm having a similar issue where only the first video will play on a page with multiple videos using jquery_media and viewing it in IE. In Firefox, they all show, but some lose their controls.

I solved this issue by installing the jquery_update module (basically updating Drupal's version of jQuery). Hope this helps everyone else with their issues.

Was anyone able to fix this issue? I tried installing jquery_update module without success. Videos are still not displaying in any version of IE (6,7,8)

I need HELP!

In case anyone else does something like this, I discovered that I had a permissions problem. I was logging in to my site as a different user in IE than the one I was using in Firefox. Eventually I discovered that one of the accounts did not have permissions to watch the video.
