Octet-stream does not refer to a specific type of file -- it could be anything from a spreadsheet to an executable program. To open an unidentified file, you need to either figure out which program can open the file as a document or change the file's extension to run as a program.

Hello experts,
I am unsuccessfully trying to use an HTML5 player on my website.. however, I'm running into a problem with Firefox/IE. I reencoded by videos as ogv and have tested the videos and they are working. However, Firefox is throwing the following error:
HTTP 'Content-Type' of 'application/octet-stream' is not supported. Load of media resource https://s3.amazonaws.com/nationalmortgageforgivenessplan/hoi.ogv failed.
I've tried to add .htaccess file with the following:
AddType text/xml .xml
AddType video/mp4 .mp4 .m4v
AddType video/mpeg .mpeg .mpg
AddType video/quicktime .mov
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/webm .webm
AddType audio/mp4 .m4a .m4b .m4r
AddType audio/mpeg .mp3

Content Type Application Octet Stream

AddType audio/playlist .m3u
AddType audio/x-scpls .pls
AddType audio/ogg .ogg
AddType audio/wav .wav
And I've also altered the mime.types file to include the ogg/ogv file types but it still isnt working.. what else could be wrong?

A multipurpose internet mail extension, or MIME type, is an internet standard that describes the contents of internet files based on their natures and formats. This cataloging helps the browser open the file with the appropriate extension or plugin. Although the term includes the word “mail,” it is used for web pages, too.

Campursari sangga buana mat matan. MIME types contain two parts: a type and a sub-type.

1. The type describes the categorization of MIME types that are linked to each other.
2. In contrast, a subtype is unique to a specific file type that is part of the type.

Here is the MIME type for HTML:

Distinguishing Among MIME Types

Following is a list of most MIME types, with their file extensions and the applications that use them. Many computers use file extensions to help identify file types. So, if you have a file with an odd extension on your website, you can look up the MIME type in this list.

Content-type Application/octet-stream Multipart/form-data

Some types are prefixed with X, and some are prefixed with VND. These prefixes, respectively, refer to sub-types not listed with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority or values specific to a vendor.
