    Hello

    I’m using mp4 videos on a site for a client. Just purchased the Lightbox Ultimate plugin and assumed it would use html5 video player but when I check it on my ipad I get this error message:

    “Error – Adobe Flash is not installed……”

    Is there a way to change the player it uses?

    Here’s the code I’m using:

    [wp_lightbox_special_anchor_text_mp4_video link=”http://www.modula4.com/videos/webmodule.mp4″ width=”503″ height=”377″ title=”Search, zoom and share with Web Module 3.1″ text=”Click here to open the mp4 video”]

    Any assistance would be much appreciated.

    Cheers

    Also. tried using the flowplayer and it doesn’t seem to work on any browser. I just get a blank popup window. The video is there as when you click on the popup window it links directly to the video which starts playing in the browser window. Any ideas?

    Not particularly happy about having to pay for a plugin that doesn’t seem to work very well.

    Thanks

    Can you please post a link to the page where you are using the flowplayer shortcode?

    Thank you for the link. I see the issue now. We are working on adding a new shortcode to use HTML5 for mp4 videos. we should have something ready by tomorrow. Do you want to wait till then?

    Yes, that’s right – I assumed the plugin already supported this for some reason. That would be great if you could update the plugin! Would make this an incredibly useful plugin.

    Thanks very much.

    We added a new shortcode for embedding mp4 file using HTML5 so it plays on iPad and iPhone. Please get a new build of the plugin from here:

    https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/update-request

    Then use the following shortcode:

    [wp_lightbox_anchor_text_html5_video link=”http://link-to-your-video.com/your-video.mp4″ width=”640″ height=”480″ text=”Click here to open the video using HTML5″]

    Hi amin007

    I’m afraid the update doesn’t seem to have worked. Nothing happens at all when you click on the link now (no popup or video). Here’s the test page: http://www.modula4.net/test/

    Also I was wondering if it’s possible to add a poster image and get the video’s to autostart? Sorry, meant to ask these questions previously.

    Let me know what’s up with the update.

    Cheers

    This issue would be related to this:

    https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/wrong-way-of-adding-jquery-library-to-wordpress-source-of-javascript-conflicts

    When I do a view source on your webpage I see the following two lines which are both adding the JQuery library but different versions.

    <script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.modula4.net/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.4.4'></script>

    The above is added by WordPress so it is good but the following one is coming from some plugin or theme and it should be removed:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.pack.js"></script>

    You are also using the custom contact form plugin which is in our list of “conflicting plugin”. Can you also please deactivate the “custom contact form” plugin. Explanation on this page:

    https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/list-of-plugins-that-dont-play-nice-conflicting-plugins

    We will be adding an option to specify a poster and autoplay option for the HTML5 video shortcode soon.

    Thanks very much – it was the contact form messing things up. Works nicely now. Please let me know when you add the poster and autoplay functions as this will make it the perfect video plugin.

    Cheers
