    When I click on the text, the flowplayer box opens and video plays. If I close the box, and then click on the video link again, nothing happens. Here is an example:

    [http://ingridchun.com/news/?p=289]

    It happens in Safari 6.0.5, firefox 25.0, ios7

    Lightbox v1.8.9, WordPress 3.7.1.

    I haven’t modified the plugin code.

    Hello bb, your link structure is not set correctly. I had a look at your link above and yes it does play but it takes a long time to load and yes like you mention once you stop the clip playing it will not play again.

    Also if I click on the following pages Home, Bio, News and Store I cannot find the URL above. I have had a look through your whole website and cannot find that URL any where except by clicking above. Can you verify that the URL above is a correct URL?

    Kind regards

    hi mbr,

    I’ll have to learn about link structure. It’s never been an issue before.

    You can get to the post by going to the News page. Then under the archives on the sidebar, click on July 2009. Then click on the “Michael Jackson” title in the post title, and that will get you to the link I posted. [http://ingridchun.com/news/?p=289]

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi bb, do you have a cache plugin installed? What is the short code you are using to insert into your post?

    Kind regards

    @bb, please install a fresh copy of Lightbox Ultimate plugin:

    You also need to fix the metadata in your video so the player doesn’t need to fully download it:

    I don’t see any cache plugins. I just tried deactivating all my plugins except for WP estore and lightbox ultimate. Still same problem.

    The shortcode:

    [wp_lightbox_flowplayer_anchor_text_video link=”http://www.ingridchun.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ThrillerLAPhil.mov” width=”640″ height=”480″ text=”Click here to watch the video”]

    Youtube video works fine. For example:

    Reinstalling lighbox solved the replay problem.

    I started using .mp4 instead of .mov files. That solved the delay in loading.

    My next problem is that the video is partially covered by the menu / header picture, depending on where the page is scrolled. I”m using the twenty eleven theme.

    Thanks for your help!
