Rails Play video

Rails
1

Hi Folks,

I want play videos, the src file should i get from assets/videos.

I just created one folder in my assets like videos and placed one .mov
file.

In my view,

Your browser does not support the video tag.

But its not working. Please advice.

I don’t think you use the assets part of the path in Rails 3.1+. Try it
with just /videos/video.mov and see what happens then.

Using the HTML you have above, you’d need to house the movie under
#{Rails.root}/public somewhere, rather than #{Rails.root}/app/assets,
probably something like:

#{Rails.root}/
public/
videos/
demo.mov

Then, your source tag should use:

src=“/videos/demo.mov”

I would definitly keep such large things out of the asset pipeline, as
it would bog down assets:precompile a lot.

It’s also something I’d definitely not want in my repository with my
code; I’d have some other way of versioning/deploying it.
