Are you streaming the video? Do you see errors in the error console?
The key to videos is to respect the request.headers.range.
as in
function send(err,data){
if (err)
return send404(fileName)
cache.put(fileName,data,600000) // 10 minutes
var range = request.headers.range // bytes=0-1
if (!range){
response.writeHead(200, {
"Content-Type": mimeType,
"X-UA-Compatible": "IE=edge;chrome=1",
'Content-Length': data.length
});
response.end(data)
}else{
var total = data.length,
split = range.split(/[-=]/),
ini = +split[1],
end = split[2]?+split[2]:total-1,
chunkSize = end - ini + 1
response.writeHead(206, {
"Content-Range": "bytes " + ini + "-" + end + "/" +
total,
"Accept-Ranges": "bytes",
"Content-Length": chunkSize,
"Content-Type": mimeType
})
response.end(data.slice(ini, chunkSize+ini))
}
}
