Sitecore display movie from media library

I have a movie in my sitecore media library. The path is: mywebsite/~/media/movies/movie.mp4 When I enter this URL, the browser is trying to save file on my computer. What can I do to display this movie in browser, when enter this URL? I tried to remove Content-Disposition header but this header is still added to response

I found this element:

<mediaType name="Any" extensions="*">
          <mimeType>application/octet-stream</mimeType>
          <forceDownload>true</forceDownload>
          <sharedTemplate>system/media/unversioned/file</sharedTemplate>
          <versionedTemplate>system/media/versioned/file</versionedTemplate>
          <metaDataFormatter type="Sitecore.Resources.Media.MediaMetaDataFormatter" />
          <mediaValidator type="Sitecore.Resources.Media.MediaValidator" />
          <thumbnails>
            <generator type="Sitecore.Resources.Media.MediaThumbnailGenerator, Sitecore.Kernel">
              <extension>png</extension>
              <filePath>/sitecore/shell/themes/standard/images/document_music.png</filePath>
            </generator>
            <width>150</width>
            <height>150</height>
            <backgroundColor>#FFFFFF</backgroundColor>
          </thumbnails>
          <prototypes>
            <media type="Sitecore.Resources.Media.Media, Sitecore.Kernel" />
            <mediaData type="Sitecore.Resources.Media.MediaData, Sitecore.Kernel" />
          </prototypes>
        </mediaType>

When I change forceDownload to false, it's ok, but I want it only for movie files.

You probably need to change the media library setting for MP4 files. Add this to a patch config file:

<configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/">
  <sitecore>
    <mediaLibrary>
      <mediaTypes>
        <mediaType name="Movie file" extensions="mp4">
            <mimeType>video/mp4</mimeType>
            <forceDownload>false</forceDownload>
        </mediaType>
      </mediaTypes>
    <mediaLibrary>
  </sitecore>
</configuration>

You might have to set the mimeType (put that in a <mimeType> element) as well.
