and you expect this echo "<a target='_blank' href=$dir>$name</a> <br>"; to deliver your audience the video or the audio?

Shouldn't it be like this?
echo '<a target="_blank" href="'.$dir.$name.'">'.$name.'</a> <br>';

How about the file extension? Is it included in your $name? If not, it should be wiser to find the extension of the file $dir.$name first and then assign the extension to $ext. so that the codes will be
echo '<a target="_blank" href="'.$dir.$name.$ext.'">'.$name.'</a> <br>';

I am assuming here that $dir = "someDirectory/"; and $name = "somefile.whateverext";

If you want the video to play on the page, then you should have a way of delivering the $name.$ext to the next page, so that it will be loaded on the player. The above codes, just gives the browser to download the file and not to play it.

There are so many ways in passing the video info. to the play page.. In fact, the most common is either by $_GET, or by session like in
$_SESSION = $name.$ext; whatever you choose, it has to have the $dir.$name.$ext because player can be different for audio and video.
