Video attachments do not play

Question

after uploading .wmv files to confluence, but they don't play in neither Chrome, nor Firefox, nor IE nor do they play in media player when opening the link from the attachment player. Yet when I download the file to my workstation and open with MediaPlayer, the file play again.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks Boris - checked the url before, nothing that helps there, filesize is 33MBs (have bigger ones, but thought to try with a couple of smaller first - all the same result). Length is between 2 and 10 minutes - again same result for all of them.

On our old confluence 3.5.2 it worked (still works) on the new one 4.2.5 it doesn't - uploaded the same file in both places. Other differences are

OLD is running on windows, NEW on linux

OLD supports http, NEW only https

...any suggestions
