A script on this page may be busy… for videos with bigger ratio

  • Hello!!!

    What a fantastic plugin and script! I really love it and have been able to customize it to my needs using css ??
    Most videos work brilliantly on a default ratio of 640 x 360. Smaller videos also work fine, by just removing the height and width.

    HOWEVER, larger videos and in particular larger height (width seems to be ok..), the video doesn’t play.. it shows loading and after a while a pop up will say:

    “A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

    Script: https://simon.testurl.net/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.10.2:4″

    This happens for instance on the second video on this page (Build, Buy, Restore) The video itself is here. as you can see it is a bigger ratio than the default – and plays perfectly on it’s own.
    All other vids on this page work fine because the ratio is the default. However you can see that the next video is a bigger height vid too because the controls are not showing. as soon as I change the ratio to the higher height in HTML, it will behave the same as the Build, Buy, Restore one..

    I have searched high and low and looked on https://forums.no-margin-for-errors.com/categories/wp-prettyphoto-support but no luck – also no luck registering successfully to post on there because the confirmation email is not sending..

    I hope someone on here knows the answer!

    PS has anyone got this working on IE8? it doesn’t seem to work at all there!

    PPS the bigger ratio I am looking for is 640 x 480, I have tried using different ratios to see if the video would work and only ratios with a bigger or smaller width seem to work, no higher height! and the video does not resize either if I try a smaller width and default height the video just gets cropped rather than resized within the box.
    I have 10 videos with the 640 x 480 ratio and one with a 600 x 450 ratio

    It’s a shame that the plugin author does not reply to any of the support questions, there are questions going back 8 months without a single reply!

    I was not able to solve the issue, even after speaking to the developers of my theme. They did however, figure out that WP PrettyPhoto maybe be loading another (older) version of jQuery and if this is the case, this is incompatible with WordPress core.

    See the discussion here

    I ended up converting my videos to Mp4 AND WebM, using the code `<video controls autoplay>
    <source src=”/videos/WereWolf_Week_60sec-1.webm” width=”640″ height=”360″ type=”video/webm”>
    <source src=”/videos/WereWolf_Week_60sec-1.mp4″ width=”640″ height=”360″ type=”video/mp4″>
    I’m sorry; your browser doesn’t support HTML5 video in WebM with VP8 or MP4 with H.264.
    </video>`to embed them instead.
    Shame as I really liked the lightbox
