can't playback videos from host

I have Parallels Plesk Panel 11.0.9 for Microsoft Windows host. I tried to play some short video using several solution including: camtasia, videojs and google youplay. but all of them can't play back my video on host; I mean it's play and show on local and everythings is ok on local. I using asp.net 4.5 on local and asp.net 4.0 on remote host.

I downloaded test video on videojs and upload it to my host, but I confuse that there is nothing play from only my windows host. Are there any tip for playback video from windows host?

Thanks to Mitesh Gangaramanifor answering but there is no content as video/mp4 so I had to deeper search and find an guaranteed solution for this problem.
Just go to web.config and add these tags between <configuration></configuration> tag: 

<system.webServer>
    <staticContent>
         <mimeMap fileExtension=".mp4" mimeType="video/mp4"></mimeMap>
          <mimeMap fileExtension=".m4v" mimeType="video/m4v"></mimeMap>
    </staticContent>
</system.webServer>

Then save and upload it to your httpdocs. I hope I could help who people had this problem.

Depending on the video type, control panel should have proper MIME type added.

  1. Log into your Control Panel.
  2. Under the Domains tab, click on your domain name.
  3. Navigate on Websites & Domains tab.
  4. Click on Show Advanced Operations.
  5. Click on the Virtual Directories icon.
  6. Navigate on Mime Types tab.
  7. Click the Add Mime Type icon.
  8. Enter the file extension and Content. example: Extension: .m4v Content: video/mp4
  9. Click OK.
