same problem here..

Oh I see, my bad.
My theme works that I can’t post the video shortcode in the content area, rather have video tags linking to the appropriate links to the video file in the template itself.

So, if I were to use the <video> tags and use the src to the encoded file (filename-360p.mp4), will the plugin features not work? (eg. audio bitrate settings, H.264 profile etc.) ?

If I can’t do that, is there another way to display the videos correctly without using shortcode? Maybe a php code for the template? (The way I’d like the site to work is to create post all from the frontend, not the admin area)

So far I got the poster using:

get_post_meta($attachment->ID, "_kgflashmediaplayer-poster", true);

Thanks again

No problem,
I’ll email you the link to the website which is still in development.

(email subject is: @emanradin re: mp4 not playing)

So I’ve got a video at the top which is set to auto play. The other two videos play on hover/tap.

Thanks let me know if you need any more info

Yes your right maybe in the future, but I guess it will do for now.
I appreciate the work you do and all your support.

Okay, I think I got a work-around.

Basically, all I wanted was to show a poster for my video, but in my template I was trying to pull the featured-thumb that didn’t exist with:

wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'large');

So, since the featured-thumb isn’t attached to the post, but rather the video file, I managed to go through the pages and found you posting this code:

get_post_meta($attachment->ID, "_kgflashmediaplayer-poster", true);

To be used to grab the poster

So for now this works ??

Also note (very important):
Everything works as expected when posting from admin backend, but not from the frontend which is my goal for using this plugin.

Thanks again

Oh i see!
you’re right, all I wanted to do was basically use the featured-thumb (or poster) as the image to show when loading a modal (lightbox).

What I’ve got is a list of videos (thumbnails) on a page in a wordpress loop, and when clicking on a particular video I want to display the thumbnail instead of the ajax-loader that pops up.

But I think i’ve managed to use meta-data when clicking to transfer the url of the image to the popup instead of changing any filenames.

Thanks a lot

Yes that’s right, however I’m not too sure how to add the custom taxonomy ‘boards’ to my custom post type from either the plugin or functions.php.

Would you have an idea on how I can do this?

Thanks again,
Regards

Hey bcworkz, thanks for your reply. I did test and edit like you said and was able to figure out how to href link the img to its original src. It wasn’t too bad.

Instead of:
$mh_pinterest_code = '<span class="test"><a href="' . ( wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id() ) ) . '">';

I just replaced the get_attachment to:
$mh_pinterest_code = '<span class="test"><a href="' . $mh_img_url . '">';

Works good ??
