What error do you get, you can see the error in the Console, open it by pressing F12 and going to the Console. You will find the actual error include it in the question to get any help.

Is the url valid? Try to open it directly in Chrome for example. As an alternative, you can try other sources, like: http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4[^]
Be aware, that there can be a problem, if the server is trying to deliver the video file as attachment or with inproper mime type. For IIS you can add it to the web.config (or in several other ways[^]), like this:

HTML

<staticContent>
      <remove fileExtension=".mp4" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".mp4" mimeType="video/mp4" />
      <remove fileExtension=".webm" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".webm" mimeType="video/webm" />
</staticContent>

And I recommend using this player to have a cross-browser solution: http://www.videojs.com/[^]
