I'm working on a custom WordPress theme, the problem is the videos are downloading instead of playing.

Player -

            <?php east_watch_button(get_the_ID()); ?>
         </div>
         <div class="itemright">
            <div class="views"><?php echo wpb_get_post_views(get_the_ID()); ?></div>

It sounds like a lack of mime-type for the video.

If you are using Apache, add to server configuration:

AddType video/mp4 .mp4

You can add this via .htaccess but you'll need AllowOverride FileInfo within the directory scope of the server configuration.

See both:

MP4 is downloading instead of playing

How to add mime types to an htaccess file?
