my embedded locally-hosted videos are not playing

Here’s a link to a post with sample video and audio files>> http://discalcedcarmelitesphila.org/the-call-post-test/ They’re both locally-hosted and embedded. The audio plays fine, but the video won’t play at all. Sometimes gives a MIME-type error, but the .htaccess file is configured correctly, I think. This is on GoDaddy shared deluxe Linux hosting. Talked with GoDaddy; they said they tested the servers and they’re working fine. What can I do to make the videos play?

Thank you!

    Hi there @Calluna

    Hope your well today and thanks for your question.

    It’s showing up for me and it’s allowing me to play it, but it’s just a grey screen, which is caused by Firefox not supporting the MP4 media type load.

    Could you paste your .htaccess file please?

    Thank you!

    Kind Regards

    Jack.
