Google VR video doesn't load

I'm using Google VR View for the web to load in a 360 video. But when I load the video, it says Error, Render: video load error: [object event]

enter image description here

This is what the console shows:

When I load the example video from Google's url, it works like a charm: https://storage.googleapis.com/vrview/examples/video/congo_2048.mp4

This is the code I'm using (with the same video, but stored on my site):

<div id="vrview"></div>

<script src="//storage.googleapis.com/vrview/2.0/build/vrview.min.js"></script>

<script>
    window.addEventListener('load', onVrViewLoad)
    function onVrViewLoad() {
        var vrView = new VRView.Player('#vrview', {
            video: 'video/congo.mp4',
            is_stereo: true 
        });
    };
</script>

[Edit] Even with the full link to the video on my domain, the video still doesn't work.

[Edit 2] This is the file structure:

  • css
  • img
  • js
  • video
    • congo.mp4
  • index.html

Thanks for helping me out!
