In reply to: [Video Background] Vimeo as a video source?Hey Pete,
Thanks for purchasing Video Background Pro 🙂 If you have any questions or need help feel free to get one-on-one support at the help desk:
https://pushlabs.allydesk.comI’m glad you enjoy it. Your compliments just made my day!
I’ve decided to move forward with the Vimeo feature in Pro. Although the API is still a little restrictive, I believe I could make it work.
I’ll be in touch when the feature is about to go into production; perhaps you could test it out if you’d like 🙂

In reply to: [Video Background] Vimeo as a video source?Hi scpete,
Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you like the plugin 🙂
At the moment, Vimeo is not supported. Although I would really like to support Vimeo, their current API is just too limited to be able to achieve a seamless video background. However, it looks like they are starting to open up the API a bit more, so I’m hoping this can become a feature for Video Background Pro in the near future!

In reply to: [Video Background] The video is slow to load – gray screenHi fair44,
That is weird. I do see that you added the fallback image.
It may be a conflict with another jQuery plugin. I think the most efficient solution would be to either remove the background color or change it.
You can target it through CSS using the code below:
.vidbg-container { background-color: #444; }Blake

In reply to: [Video Background] The video is slow to load – gray screenHi fair44,
Thank you for the compliment! 🙂
I took a look at your site and the video seems to be loading relatively speedy; the file size is 2.5mb which is really good!
The reason you may be seeing the flash of grey is because of the lack of a fallback image. I would recommend specifying one so you could avoid this. Additionally, I would recommend you reference a .webm video as well. This will make the video background compatible with more browsers.

In reply to: [Video Background] Video not workingHi drjohnmiller1988,
Yes, great video 🙂 A lot of my friends play the game!
Yes, as of now, “Tap to unmute” is the only way to play sound as browsers such as Safari and Chrome now do not allow autoplaying videos with sound by default because it could irritate the user viewing the site:

Please keep in mind that the lack of audio support is due to the popular browser’s decision to disable autoplaying HTML5 videos with sound (unless under very certain conditions), which were causing user’s video backgrounds to break.
Until/if browsers shift in a new direction for autoplaying HTML5 videos, the “tap to unmute” feature will be available.

In reply to: [Video Background] Broken on latest update (Version 2.7.0)Great! Glad you got the issue resolved. If you would, could you provide the minifying plugin that you used? I’d like to take a look and it and see what the incompatibility is so I can try and fix it 🙂
Thanks!

In reply to: [Video Background] Video not workingHi drjohnmiller1988,
I just took a look at your site and the video background is playing as expected when I land on the page. Is this issue still ongoing?
I would recommend to clear your cache and see if it is a local issue.

In reply to: [Video Background] Broken on latest update (Version 2.7.0)Additionally, it looks like you are using some kind of caching/minifiying plugin. Could you tell me which one you are using? I have a hunch that might have something to do with it.

In reply to: [Video Background] Broken on latest update (Version 2.7.0)Hi Nettl,
Thanks for being a Video Background user!
This is strange. Could you post a screenshot of what you have in the Video Background metabox or shortcode? Additionally, what version of WordPress are you on? Video Background now uses
wp_add_inline_script()to add the JS plugin init. As a result, the required WordPress version for Video Background must be above 4.5.0.Blake

In reply to: [Video Background] Broken on UpdateHi Joshua,
I am glad that you found a solution!
I will be adding a helper filter that will allow you to modify Video Background’s script dependencies so it may be easier for cases where there may be a conflict with another plugin or library; this may help as it sounds like this may have been happening. This filter should be out in the next version 🙂 You’ll be able to find documentation on it here:

Have a great day!

In reply to: [Video Background] Video not playing in Safari 11Hi pcgs51,
I took a look at your site and found the video background playing as expected 🙂
Additionally, alexlii, upgrading to the newest version of the plugin may resolve this issue as it fixes some conditions that need to be met for video backgrounds to play.

In reply to: [Video Background] Using Aden theme, want to put video on headerHi buzzinao,
I took a look at your site, and believe you could in fact use Video Background, with a little tweaking.
You would specify the container as “.header-center” (without quotes).
Additionally, you would add the CSS to the Appearance > Edit CSS tab in customizer:
.header-center { background-image: none !important; }Hope this helps! 🙂
