Lightbox – MP4 Videos in Lightbox not displaying properly

[Creakydoor]

I am running WordPress 4.1.1. And WP Lightbox Ultimate 2.1.6.

I am trying to embed an MP4 video in a lightbox. I am using this code:

[wp_lightbox_mp4_video link="http://creakydoor.net/wp-content/uploads/The-Radio-Band-Promo-480.mp4" width="854" height="480" title="The Radio" source="http://creakydoor.net/wp-content/uploads/The-Radio-Logo-480.jpg" autoplay="false"]

It pops up a lightbox, but it actually loads the whole page again inside that window, not just the video. It also subsequently messes up other controls on that page.

To reproduce this, go here: [http://creakydoor.net/slideshow-test/]

And click on the big blue video logo.

If I turn on Disable Shortcode Formatting, then the lightbox won’t open at all. I have Enable Jquery turned on. If I turn it off, it makes no difference (i.e. the same bad behavior happens).

I tried a number of different Library settings, and none seemed to make a difference. E.g. turned on and off Prettybox, etc.

Hi, Your theme seems to be including the fancybox library, which is causing a conflict with the plugin.

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://creakydoor.net/wp-content/themes/debut/assets/js/fancybox/jquery.fancybox.js?ver=1.3.4'></script>

<link rel='stylesheet' id='debut-fancybox-css'  href='http://creakydoor.net/wp-content/themes/debut/assets/js/fancybox/jquery.fancybox.css?ver=4.1.1' type='text/css' media='all' />

Is there any option in the theme settings to disable it?

I disabled that JS and Stylesheet, and it seems to be working now.

Ok, it generally works, but I have some additional questions/issues:

1) I have the “Enable Flowplayer” box unchecked, but it still is playing my videos in Flowplayer (as evidenced by the “Flowplayer” watermark at on the bottom left of the screen.) I don’t believe I want to use Flowplayer and I certainly don’t want that watermark.

2) How can I set a “poster” for the video? The initial video image is black, and that looks bad. I’d like to set a poster of whatever “default” image I want to show when I load the lightbox.

I have sent you an email so I can investigate this issue. Let me know if you don’t receive it.
