Maybe the device is too slow to play the video. Try reducing the resolution and bitrate and use a codec with hardware acceleration support (h264 -> mp4).
How to use a codec??
It's how the video is encoded. You'll need to read up on video encoding or use a service like Zencoder: http://zencoder.com
I don't know how to use zencoder
Use the help...
I don't understand the help...
If you use FIrefox on your computer you might find fireogg useful. Install the Firefox addon then go to "Make Web Video". This process will install a ffmeg binary on your computer then transcoding a video to something lighter will be a piece of cake though you'll have to be patient.
I test this add-ons
I have to convert my files in ogg or webm?? and what's the preset ( 720p 480p)??
I'd say use webm and a low resolution. Webm is a web standard for video (usually VP9 and Ogg Vorbis). Low resolution well speedup the coversion and will require less badnwidth from your users.
The video work but I cant move: when I click nothing move
I'm not sure what you mean now. If you managed to get yoru video running in your application then I advise you to close your current issue and open a new question for your new problem.
@zikzak vp8/9 and ogg theora are not hardware accelerated. They therefore consume more CPU than the device can probably handle. Use h264 in an mp4 container to be on the safe side.
I explain: The video are running and I want to go in 2:30 of the video so I've put "controls" in the html but now imagine I'm in 00:30 of the video and I want to go to 2:30 of the video, I click and It's don't work. help

Someone can help me??
I don't think this is the correct place to get development related help. There are many articles, literally thousands, on the interent that can help you with html5 video so I encourage you to "google" it. I hope this helps you!
I "google" it, but no answer for my problem...
