I have a similar issue with Typo3/4.7.4.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create empty Typo3/4.7.4, DOCTYPE html5, minimal template
2. Insert a HTML5 media element
2a. Add mp4/WebM sources
2b. Add fallback flash source

Results:

HTML code is generated correctly. HTML5 video renders fine in Firefox. If you try in Internet Explorer, loading the video fails. The Webserver log says:

(mydomain) 86.33.124.73 - [26/Aug/2012:17:45:09 +0200] "GET /typo3/contrib/flashmedia/video.flv HTTP/1.1" 404 199 "http://(mydomain)/typo3/contrib/flashmedia/flvplayer.swf" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)" 3.03

This file (/typo3/contrib/flashmedia/video.flv) doesn't exist so the server returns 404.

Expected results:

flvplayer.swf should load the fallback FLV file instead of the missing file "video.flv".

If I can provide more helpful information, please let me know.

Possibly a duplicate of bug #41279.

A small bloated fix for the issue that the player urls don't support the absRefPrefix option. I got the same issue with the video.flv after I fixed that issue first.

tt_content.swfobject.20.video.player = {TSFE:absRefPrefix}{$styles.content.media.flowPlayer}
tt_content.swfobject.20.video.player.insertData = 1

tt_content.swfobject.20.audio.player = {TSFE:absRefPrefix}{$styles.content.media.flowPlayer}
tt_content.swfobject.20.audio.player.insertData = 1

tt_content.qtobject.20.video.player < tt_content.swfobject.20.video.player
tt_content.qtobject.20.audio.player < tt_content.swfobject.20.audio.player

tt_content.media.20.mimeConf.swfobject.video.player < tt_content.swfobject.20.video.player
tt_content.media.20.mimeConf.swfobject.audio.player < tt_content.swfobject.20.audio.player
tt_content.media.20.mimeConf.qtobject.video.player < tt_content.qtobject.20.video.player
tt_content.media.20.mimeConf.qtobject.audio.player < tt_content.qtobject.20.audio.player

tt_content.media.20.mimeConf.flowplayer.video.player = {TSFE:absRefPrefix}{$styles.content.media.flowPlayer}
tt_content.media.20.mimeConf.flowplayer.video.player.insertData = 1
tt_content.media.20.mimeConf.flowplayer.audio.player < tt_content.media.20.mimeConf.flowplayer.video.player

I adjusted the solution above to fix the fallback behaviour too. Just set this typoscript in the template where you include the CSC static typoscript. It seems that the wrong player was used and absRefPrefix was not supported yet. Would be great if someone can try it out and a report back if it's not just working in my case. :-)

BTW: The following resource is really helpful to understand the degradion process.

Thank you, this is working for me. I hope that this fix makes it into the next minor release.

I can confirm that this issue still exists in TYPO3 4.7.5 (which contains a bugfix for the media element) and that Stefan's TypoScript does fix it.

The fix works for me too, TYPO3 v4.7.7.
Thank you.

Works for me in latest 4.7, too. From comparing the TypoScript posted here by Stefan, I'm not sure if it's really a bug or if it only occurs in certain setups (the page affected in my case is using absRefPrefix).

Does someone know if this is reproducible in a site with default settings (no absRefPrefix)? If so, we should push a patch for css_styled_content to Gerrit.

I had this problem, too, and I have never used absRefPrefix.

Same problem also occurs on TYPO3 6.0.4. No problem when switching to flowplayer with the TS given above, except for the fact that I can't find a way to turn autoplay off in flowplayer by default.

Issue still exists in TYPO3 6.1.1

Typoscript code above works for me.

TS does only work partly for me
TYPO3 v.4.7.8

with the TS above it works fie in FF and IE10 (I have only a mp4-Video that should also work in Safari and Chrome)
In chrome the Player works but crashes if I stop the video. In Safari it does not work at all.

Maybe its because of the video-format? But the fallback does'n work at all!

The TS patch is working for me on TYPO3 4.7.12. We don't use absRefPrefix.

IE8 is now using the right flowplayer (not flvplayer) and plays the flash video.

Chromium, FF 17 and Opera play the provided mp4 or webm versions as expected.

So, what about taking this patch to the next bugfix release?

Is this issue still pending in 6.2?
