Description
I found a problem in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge with HTML5 video in the mediaplugin. There is an attribute on the source-tag generated, called "type" and if it's set to video/quicktime it is not able to play the .MOV files. It works fine en Firefox.
A quick test confirms that the mime type is video/quicktime so everything points to a browser misinterpretation:
If the copy the HTML generated by right clicking the video and clicking inspect
Right click the video tag and choose "Edit as HTML"
Copy the HTML
Find the second section
Click the edit link and click edit topic
In the summary field click the "More" button and select HTML
Insert the HTML copied previously
Change the source-tag's attribute type from video/quicktime to video/mp4 (or delete the attribute entirely)
Click save changes
Test the video by clicking the play button
