That is where, I am confused. There are no errors, the page is blank :(
I have added the mime-type to every .html extensions like svn:
mime-type application/x-shockwave-flash
Is something wrong here?

clearly specifies to the browser that it should decode the sent content
(the htm file in this case) as a plain text, which Firefox does. IE
apparently overrides the HTTP MIMETYPEs with a mimetype contained in the
file itself. According to W3C HTTP standards, the HTTP requests
mimetypes shall always take precedence.

As you already know, you need to set the svn:mime-type property of every
.htm and .html file in your repository to text/html for this to work as
you want. See my reply to your previous email on this subject.

svn:mime-type application/x-shockwave-flash, but it still it does not
play. When I don't embed as an object controller (video will be played
continuously, we can't stop, pause, there is no option to stop, pause),
the file plays in Firefox
If you've set the file's svn:mime-type property correctly, and committed
that to the repository, I don't know why it wouldn't work.
