Player Button showing on Video in Rev Slider after update

Support
#1

My revolution sliders are now showing the “play bar” or Play Button even if I take it away while in Vimeo it then shows the play button in the center. This was not there before i updated everything yesterday. It says it is all compatible but this has happened :frowning:

Thank you so much! Time is so crucial for me right now as we go live Tuesday. You have been amazing!

Hi Noelle,

We’re sorry you are having this issue. Unfortunately, that play button settings is controlled in vimeo and not revslider. Please check in with Vimeo first.

Hey @Lely I have set it to not have the play bar and then it defaults to the player button in the center. I just put the playbar back- but it shows too. Before the update nothing showed either way.

Hi @Noellemena,

I could not see any problem with your setup. Please confirm if you have fixed it already.

Before checking again, clear your site and browser caching.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks.

It is for sure still there. If you open it WIDE WIDE it goes away. But if not, it is there.

Hi there,

Please add this CSS to your global custom CSS and try it again,

body {
    margin: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
}

It seems to be random as it visible on smaller screens instead of wider. About the video, it’s also affected by screen size, it has no issues with the bigger screen, at least on my end.

You may have two options,

  1. Downgrade your Wordpress to 4.8, seems 4.9 has many issues. But I can’t confirm if this is a bug as we’re not the developer of the slider. All we could do is check and forward it. But for now, if possible, please downgrade it.

  2. Add your video as a slider layer (element) instead of background, then configure your video to be full-screen.

Thanks!

Thank you @Rad the CSS stopped the double scroll :grinning:

And for the Rev Slider- so I went into the dev site and messed around. I first wanted to see if the video layer would work as it sounded the easiest. For some reason it just refused to find my video. I have all the privacy settings correct etc got it with other videos.

Anyway! I then found this thread at Vimeo:
https://vimeo.com/forums/help/topic:278001

And I grabbed that background=1 and put it in my original slider: Source Settings: Arguments line and saved. It worked. But, I notice if I edit the slider at all, it stops. So I have re-added it and I am not touching it again! :slight_smile:

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Noelle
