Thanks for the update. Does that mean that there is no way to get the most current version of 5 either? I ask because I have some customers who are having issues with videos, and my understanding is the newest version of Flowplayer 5 has better cross platform support. Additionally, I have videos with white backgrounds, and I really need the styling options that would allow for player controls to be something other than white. As it stands, I have the newest Flowplayer 5 installed, but it isn’t getting used even when I reference just embed a video rather than using Lightbox. I prefer the Lightbox approach because it offers an in-between size, not constrained by page columns and not full screen either. Being constrained to just the free version of Flowplayer is a bit limiting, if that is in fact the case.
Thanks!
That did it! Thank you.
Are there any side effects to these settings that I should be aware of? If not, it almost seems like this should be the default, or am I missing something?
You can see my attempts in the Unordered List on this page [http://www.pragmaticpraxis.com/scrapbook/]
I have added this to the custom CSS as well.
.lightbox_ultimate_text_anchor {
display: inline;
}
Thanks!

The “Notes” link here is what I have been playing with. Currently I am using the “Types” addin to create the “Note” post type, but I am in no way married to that solution. Anything that results in the popup containing nothing but that body text, without all the side bars and other stuff is what I am looking for.
Thanks!

Bummer. Has there been many requests to add chapter markers to Lightbox? Or am I an edge case there? I would love something super simple, like points in the progress bar, using the same color scheme as the player, with mouseover popups of the chapter name, and perhaps a drop down list of chapters as an optional button.
The videos here aren’t as stark white as the ones in my course, but they show the white controls, which I would like to make a dark grey. I suspect going to square corners and no border would look good too, as I am not fond of the thin black lines I get on either side.
Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up. As it turns out I think I have found the right settings to get MP4 files to look as good as my MOV files where. For a while the MP4 where chock full o’ artifacts and I thought I would need to provide the two options. Now to go address the controls color.
Thanks!

So, coming back to this topic…
I am now looking at having two video links, one to a high quality H.264 MOV file, and one to a low quality MP4 file for the poor saps using Internet Explorer. To make that work, the current approach of a non link icon with link text isn’t going to work. So, is there any possible way to get a Div to work as the “image” for a link? Conceptually something like this?
[wp_lightbox_mp4_video link=”http://www.example.com/h264-encoded-video.mp4″ source=<div style=”float: left; display: inline; margin-right: 1em; font-size: 1em;” data-icon=””></div>]
Or, better yet, can the lightbox take two links, and feed the MP4 only to IE, while the rest of the world gets the MOV?
Thanks!

I spend two days trying to solve this, and within half an hour of posting a question I figure it out? My Google-Fu is… fickle.
So, this works a treat. Only issue is the icon isn’t part of the link, but I think I am ok with that. And wordpress wants to replace the & in the data icon reference when switching modes, but I have come to accept that WP is the new FrontPage when it comes to things like this.
<div style=”float:left;display:inline;margin-top:1px;margin-right:1em” data-icon=””></div>[wp_lightbox_anchor_text_mp4_video link=”http://content.pragmaticpraxis.com/RB/disable_auto_apply.mp4″ poster=”http://content.pragmaticpraxis.com/RB/disable_auto_apply.png” text=”Disable Auto-Apply”]
That was it! Odd things is I don’t remember changing that setting. But, all is good again. On to subtle graphic issues.
Thanks!

I suspect I am in a similar situation. I have turned off plugins one at a time and still no lightbox love.
The page is http://www.pragmaticpraxis.com/revit-bistro/
It worked before with cloud front, and this code.
[wp_lightbox_anchor_text_mp4_video link=”http://content.pragmaticpraxis.com/RB/file_dialog_places.mp4″ poster=”http://content.pragmaticpraxis.com/RB/file_dialog_places.png” text=”File Dialog ‘Places'”]
I also tried lining directly to the S3 resource with no luck. Not that that appears to be the issue, as a bad link would still launch the lightbox.
I also looked into javascript errors, and I get this
SyntaxError: Expected an identifier but found ‘$’ instead
for each reference to lightbox.
But this also seems likely.
Blocked a frame with origin “http://www.pragmaticpraxis.com” from accessing a frame with origin “https://widgets.wp.com”. The frame requesting access has a protocol of “http”, the frame being accessed has a protocol of “https”. Protocols must match.
Where is this widgets.wp.com coming from? Is this perhaps a change with the recent WP update? I don’t see anything in lightbox settings to control protocol.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

FWIW, the shortcode looks like this.
