Lightbox Ultimate – MP4 video not playing

[malcrob]

I have WP Lightbox plugin. I am trying to play a test MP4 video, from an image. The link below to the MP4 (on S3) only shows a black acreen. The one linking to the html page works, but plays the video in a web page. What am I doing wrong? I want to play the MP4 video and it to play automatically.

[wp_lightbox_special_mp4_video link=”https://s3.amazonaws.com/FDT/OFlow/Films/Test3/Test3.mp3″ width=”640″ height=”480″ source=”https://s3.amazonaws.com/FDT/QuantArb/Images/CL060712.png” title=”Video title goes here”]

Hi, Please install a recent build of the plugin from here: https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/update-request

We don’t recommend anyone to use the lightbox special shortcode anymore (it’s been deprecated for a long time). You can either use the flowplayer shortcode or the “All browser compatible” shortcode to play a mp4 video (they are also compatible with iOS devices). Shortcodes are available in the shortcode reference guide:

Alternatively, you can also insert a shortcode using the “Shortcode Inserter” (it’s a TinyMCE button in the Visual Editor).

There are three versions of the jQuery library on the same page.

<script src="http://futures-day-trader.com/wp-content/themes/twentyten/js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> (coming from your theme)

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://tylergarns.s3.amazonaws.com/utils/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script> (coming from another plugin I guess)

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://futures-day-trader.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.7.2'></script> (coming from lightbox ultimate using the proper WordPress API)

Unfortunately, you will have to get rid of the first 2 (they are hardcoded). WordPress has a proper API to include the jQuery library so that it doesn’t conflict when multiple plugins are installed. You can learn more about it here:

Lightbox Ultimate – Clicking on the Anchor does not Display any Overlay

At this point if you install any other WordPress plugin which uses jQuery it’s just going to stop functioning totally (Even if you deactivate Lightbox Ultimate).
