You can use LEADTOOLS Media streaming server to stream your local video files so that you can playback them on any device, platform or browser (using HTML5 for example).
You can get started easily by setting-up the media-streaming server using the following lines of code:
Server _server = null;
_server = new Leadtools.MediaStreaming.Server();
_server.ImportConfigFile("%ltmsConfigFolder%\\LeadtoolsMediaStreamingServer.xml");
_server.Start();
You can find more details here:

Note that the above white paper shows also how to playback the streamed media into HTML5 player.

Hello,
We can able to play video in from local url but u can keep video inside server folder i.e, inside of xampp. Then only we can able to get video through local url. But becareful when you use mp4 file because in html5 video player only support these encoded videos "H.264 aka MPEG-4 AVC or MPEG-4 Part 10".check attached code for your reference

Refer this for more info ,

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
  <source src="./big_buck_bunny.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.

If your page is served from a server, you can't access a local file by giving local path. It;s a sceurity restrction.
