How to echo and play videos in Cakephp

I have an application were by users can upload images and should be able to echo and play videos. My upload function works fine but challenge that i am having now is to echo and play the video. Here is how i am uploading the file

    function uploadFile() {
    $file = $this->data['CpdVideo']['file'];
    if ($file['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
    $id = String::uuid();
    if (move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], WWW_ROOT . 'files/videos/' . $file['name'])) {
    $this->request->data['CpdVideo']['filename'] = $file['name'];
    $this->request->data['CpdVideo']['filesize'] = $file['size'];
    $this->request->data['CpdVideo']['filemime'] = $file['type'];
    return true;
    }
    }
    return false;
    }

Here is how i am saving the video

    if ($this->uploadFile() && $this->CpdVideo->save($this->data))

This how i am trying to echo and play the video in my view.ctp

    <?php echo $this->Html->media('files/videos'. $cpdVideo['CpdVideo']['filename'], array('fullBase' => true));

If any one could help me out that would be awesome
