video play on confluence(6.6.13) page

[Will Wang]

I insert one HTM macro into confluence page and fill in below source code into HTML macro, but the video could not be displayed due to the video is on confluence page, but if I change the value of src(namely video URL) to another link which is out of confluence, then it works fine, is this one defect/bug on confluence 6.6.13 ? Any workaround for this ?

<video preload=auto controls width="640" height="480">
<source type="video/mp4" src="https://confluence.ab.com/download/attachments/357560161/Python.mp4?version=1&modificationDate=1559111062000&api=v2&download=true"></source></video>

HI @Will Wang ,

First of all.. Do you use Multimedia macro?

https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/multimedia-macro-228622735.html

It should support MP4 format attached to a page.

If yes and this is still not working could you please check if you are maybe hitting this issue?

@Mirek Thanks for your reply, we did try Multimedia macro but it didn't work. Also tried the solution in below link just now, the 2 workarounds didn't work.

@Will Wang

In that case you might be hitting similar bug to this

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-52839

Maybe you can try to change the path a little bit from you <video> tag from

src="https://confluence.ab.com/download/attachments/357560161/Python.mp4?version=1&modificationDate=1559111062000&api=v2&download=true"

to

src="attachments/357560161/Python.mp4?version=1&modificationDate=1559111062000&api=v2&download=true"

or without even those parameters

src="attachments/357560161/Python.mp4"

Tried both ways, but still could not display the video
