Hi Sun W.K,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Our site is at http://demo.online-communities.org/
You can access it using test / test
We have been able to stream .mp4 files using the following code
<p><video width="640" height="480" controls="controls">
<source src="/ [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/96vicpakrxfcv1d/Carly%20Southern%20-%20cats.mp4?dl=0](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/96vicpakrxfcv1d/Carly%20Southern%20-%20cats.mp4?dl=0)"; type="video/mp4">
</video></p>
When we try to stream .mov files we get a zero length and a blank video player.
<video width="640" height="480" controls="controls">
<source src="/ [https://www.dropbox.com/s/h3j6grnmxucfgzi/Richard%20Southern%20-%20IMG\\_1642.MOV?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/h3j6grnmxucfgzi/Richard%20Southern%20-%20IMG\_1642.MOV?dl=0)"; type="video/quicktime"></source>
</video>
If you click on Diary and then select TEST from the list of posts you will see that the top video is blank but the .mp4 one plays fine.
You can edit the post (pencil icon top right) and select the code tool ( <> ) to see the code behind the post.
Thanks for all your help
