How to play wmv files in html5 video player

Question

Is there any way to play .wmv files using html5 video player?

Answer 1

Mediaelement.js player documentation says, support to wmv and mov, but so far i have not seen any positive or success comments for these formats.Formats like wmv and mov are proprietary, so to play video user need to explicitly install browser based plugins. Latest version of Firefox doesn't support wmv directly, there is a work around.To support mov format,user need to have quicktime player install in the system.Go for players that supports Flash fallback for non HTML5 browsers.
