Lightbox – Can't play Amazon S3 swf files

[idougal]

I want to play swf files from amazon s3.

I tried the instructions from the help and created: [wp_lightbox_anchor_text_protected_s3_video name=”xml.swf” bucket=”trthot1″ width=”640″ height=”480″ text=”click here to open the s3 protected video”]

Flowplayer opens and nothing plays. I read somewhere inthe forum that flowplayer doesn’t play swf.

I found some help from 2 years ago with the following code:

[wp_lightbox_ultimate_s3_private_media name=”xml.swf” media_type=”swf” bucket=”trthot1″ width=”640″ height=”480″ title=”file title goes here” anchor_type=”text” text=”click here to open s3 private file” source=””]

A blank lightbox opens with no content.

Can I use lightbox to play swf files from amazon s3?

Hi, currently this is the only shortcode to play a protected swf video:

[wp_lightbox_ultimate_s3_private_media name="xml.swf" media_type="swf" bucket="trthot1" width="640" height="480" title="file title goes here" anchor_type="text" text="click here to open s3 private file" source=""]

Your video seems to be loading fine in lightbox. Which browser are you using?

Chrome

I used the code supplied and it opened my flash in a new window with this as a header. (I removed the access ID and Signature) [https://trthot1.s3.amazonaws.com/3phasepower.swf?AWSAccessKeyId=[my access ID]&Expires=1398094516&Signature=[A signature ID]”]

When I go back to the page, the lightbox opens but nothing is displayed.

When I try with a different user on chrome, everything seems to work correctly.

It seems that the HTTPS Everywhere 2014.4.16 Chrome extension is the problem because everything seems to work correctly when it is disabled

@idougal, have you removed the lightbox shortcode from this page [http://relaytraining.com/training/test/]?

Last time I checked the video using Google Chrome. It was working fine. So I think this is only happening on your end (because of the addon that you have installed).
