HTML5 video doesn't play in Safari with different shared hosting

I tried to include HTML5 video tag in my landing page of website in http://sprnv.sg and http://creazidigital.com/supernova with the same code. I checked it and it plays well in browsers I tested (Chrome, Firefox).

I also check it (http://creazidigital.com/supernova) on Safari Browser which is played well.But I am shocked that the website on http://sprnv.sg doesn't play the video with Safari browser.

This is the demo video of the websites https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ua2gsek1c788p8/SPRNV%20problem.mov?dl=0

I also contact the administrator of http://sprnv.sg, and they said they have included MIME type of Web Server they using.

Thank you, and Sorry for my English

You need to disable the gzip compression on mp4 files.

This is how the mp4 file is delivered on creazdigital.com:

HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content
Last-Modified: Tue, 09 May 2017 03:19:34 GMT
Content-Type: video/mp4
Content-Range: bytes 524072-524072/591649
Content-Length: 1

Accept-Ranges: bytes

Connection: Keep-Alive

This is how it is delivered on sprnv.sg:

Maybe this is a side effect of Varnish, but it's safe to check both Apache and Varnish configs.

For some reason, Chrome and Firefox are not affected, even tho the webm files are gzipped too.
