If you are on a single installation of WordPress, add this to your wp-config.php file in the root of the site:

define(‘ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS’,true);

If you are on a network installation, add .webm to the list of allowed file types under the Network Administration page.

Thanks!

Joel,

I don’t have time to troubleshoot today, but I’ve got an iPad that I’ll test on. I did confirm that your site does not work on my iPhone. I noticed that there’s a custom.js file that is getting a 404 error, so if that’s important, you might check on that.

By the way, we are just up the road from you – downtown KC. Maybe you could stop by our offices sometime?

I’ll let you know as soon as I can get on this.

Hey Joel,

Sorry about the difficulty you are experiencing. This plugin relies on the VideoJs.com javascript library to serve the appropriate video files to the browser. If you visit that page on your devices, are you able to view their example video?

Also, do you have a link that you could post so we can troubleshoot if the plugin is rendering the correct code?

Thanks!

Dustin

No problem at all. Thanks for getting back on this. Let me know if you ever want to try again.

Since I haven’t heard anything back on this, I’m going to mark it as resolved. If you are still having problems, please create a new support request.

Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know about this. I’ve added a line about installing Curl in the readme so that others don’t run into the same issue.

Glad you like the plugin!

When you view the video on the VIdeoJS home page (https://videojs.com/) at fullscreen, does it scale properly with letterbox, or does it look distorted?

What browser and browser version are you using? It could be a flash fallback parameter that is missing. If you have a link I’d be happy to help troubleshoot.

Alienella,

Thanks for the great feedback. I’ve updated the code to include your suggestions. 1.0.2 now has a new attribute to specify “Auto” or “Manual” setup. If you set this to “Manual” then you can use the VideoJS API to play, pause, and do other things with the videos when your modal pops. I’ve updated the documentation with instructions on how to interact with the video.

Also in the documentation are instructions for the shortcodes. Good call on that too.

I’ve also added detection to check if the videojs css and js files exist, and if so, it still loads them. But if they don’t return a status code of 200, then it loads them from local versions of the files. Excellent suggestion.

Do you have a link to the videos that are not loading correctly? Check your source file paths to make sure they are correct. The flash fallback uses the MP4 version of the video, so the OGG path may not be loading correctly. I’d be happy to help troubleshoot.

Great suggestions. Is there anything else you’d like to see in the plugin?

Thanks.
