    Hi,

    Just to get this out of the way, I’m not talking about setting a background video a la Integrity1. This problem concerns trying to implement a video layer in a normal Revolution Slider on a page.

    Here is an example page with the slider:
    This is a clean WordPress install with only X theme and it’s plugins.

    On each slide there is a video layer. In the desktop versions of IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari the video plays when the image is clicked. When using Android browsers, or any iOS browser (tested on ipad and iphone), the image goes black when kicked, and the youtube video appears to be trying to load. You can see an example of this by clicking the image in the first slide.

    If you remove the Preview image from the embedded video in the Revolution Slider “Edit Video” window, the video loads and plays fine. You can see an example of this in the second slide.

    In the firebug console, I receive this error on page load:
    ReferenceError: YT is not defined jQuery 3.9 (line 9)

    Thanks,
    Ben

    Hi again!

    Thanks! I’ve changed my settings a bit after seeing yours and I see exactly what you mean now. To be honest, this is a bug in Revolution Slider. We’ll need to report it to them and hopefully they can get it fixed soon. Meanwhile there isn’t much we can do to fix it. I’d advise just not using a preview image. Thanks for understanding!

    Thanks so much for checking it out. It’s really important functionality for my client, so I’m hoping the Revolution Slider folks can resolve it quickly. If it helps, this may to be the offending line of code (it gives the error message:

    TypeError: this.p is null

    even when using the Worpress default theme with all other plugins disabled.

    function cg(a){return(a=O(a.g))?"div"==a.tagName.toLowerCase()?"html5":"flash":null}function dg(a){a.cancel();Uf(a);a.k=null;a.p.loaded=!1;var b=O(a.g);"html5"==cg(a)?a.ja=b:b&&b.destroy&&b.destroy();a.q&&(b=O(a.g))&&b.parentNode&&b.parentNode.removeChild(b);for(a=a.za;b=a.firstChild;)a.removeChild(b)}g.cancel=function(){var a=this.ba;this.p.assets.js&&a&&(a=""+ia(a),(a=Rb[a])&&Ib(a));yb(this.cc)};

    My guess is maybe it’s erroneously invoking the flash player instead of the html5 player?

    Anyways, thanks for all your help on this!

    Ben
