Self Hosted Video Issue

By John Peinhardt, 10 years ago. Last reply by kurdy, 9 years ago.

I’m unable to make the self hosted video work so that a user can click the video to start playing. Autoplay does work.

You can see the site here:

http://ec2-54-164-87-128.compute-1.amazonaws.com/wordpress/

The video is half way down the home page.

I noticed in the page source that 2 jquery libraries are loading, which may be conflicting:

However, after I added this code to the Theme Functions the jquery library issue seemed to be fixed, but the self hosted video still didn’t work correctly:

add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘no_more_jquery’);
function no_more_jquery(){
wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’);
wp_register_script(‘jquery’, “http” .
($_SERVER[‘SERVER_PORT’] == 443 ? “s” : “”) .
“://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js”, false, null);
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);
}

I used an AWS machine image to create the wordpress site.

Also, the meta slider widget doesn’t seem to work, which may be another clue.

I have tried disabling plugins, etc.

    I think I found the problem. This error appears in the console:

    Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

    The link provided is:

    http://ec2-54-164-87-128.compute-1.amazonaws.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/siteorigin-panels/video/jplayer/skins//jplayer..css?ver=1.5

    It appears the url is missing the siteorigin directory that should be between …skins//jplayer…

    What can I do to make the video locate the jplayer..css?ver=1.5?

    Hi John

    I’ll take a better look at the self hosted video widget. It’s possible a bug has crept in somewhere.

    In the mean time, you could try using an alternative self hosted video plugin like this one. I haven’t look into exactly how it works, but you should be able to embed it using a visual editor.

    Hi,
    I also get some issue using it. The auto play option become disabled automatically. Sometimes it works and after working on the site on other items the option disappears.

    It test it with several browser I suspect the previous mode but I am not sure.

    Regards
