Are the files on the server or the client machine? If on the server try and provide an absolute url in the src, if on the client then this isn't going to work.

source is in the server machine only

Have you tried viewing that video directly in the browser (navigating to video's URL)?

Look for IIS mime type settings MP4 Videos Require a MIME Type on Your Server to Play Properly
Right-click the site in IIS and select Properties.
Select the HTTP Headers Tab.
Select File Types.
Under the MIME Map section, select New Type.
Type ". mp4" as the associated extension and "video/mpeg" as the content type.
Click OK. the url for details https://articulate.com/support/article/mp4-videos-require-a-mime-type-on-your-server-to-play-properly
