When trying to use the mp4 file in a HTML5 video player, it returns a `MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED` error. Here's a couple of test pages (check the console):
Using RawGit (which appears to use wrong Content Type):

Start by reviewing the repository's relevant MP4 and HTML assets, then reproduce the error using the two linked CodePen test pages and inspect the browser console. Compare the behavior with the reported Content Type difference; done means the repository's MP4 example works in an HTML5 video player without MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED.
