Video not playing in Https

  • Hey there,

    I’ve got your plugin installed on our website which is running on https – for some reason your plugin (along with most other lightbox plugins i’ve tried) is blocking the video content (vimeo or youtube) from being pulled in, so i just get a constant loader, and no video displays.

    The site is being built on a staging environment, so in order to access it you’ll have to edit your host file to point https://www.surfeasy.com to 72.51.29.97

    Please let me know if you have any insight! We’re under the gun here trying to get this site launched, so a quick response would be much appreciated!!

    Cheers,

  • Maybe too late, but here’s the solution.

    Go into assets and choose the lightbox type you use. Check the Javascript file. Edit the part where he adds the http to the link. At the fancybox js it is at line 70.

    @the Plugin-Author: Would be great if you could fix this for future updates (so my changes won’t get overwritten) – youtube always works with https, so there is no reason to keep the http line. It’s hard coded within 2 seconds. A flexible way such as he takes the exact URL that is stated in the front end would be perfect, but not necessary imho.

    This is also a problem with the Nivo version. I changed it on the previous verison, but the newest version also has this problem and overwrote my changes. The code should probably look like this:

    Thanks guys, we’ll look into this.

    Thanks @brian DiChiara. You’re awesome for posting this! I just updated this plugin on the site where I had altered the code and my alterations were overwritten. So glad I was smart enough to put the file AND the code I changed. I owe you one!

    On a side note, the latest version of the plugin only has the minified file, which was still easy to find/replace “https://” with “//”, however it would be great if this issue was addressed in core to avoid having to modify the JS. Thanks!

    Also, @brian DiChiara, if it does happen again, you’ll need to bump the version number so the server pulls the latest JS file. Just a side hint. I’m apparently using this support thread as my own reminder system.
