Poster Image and AutoPlay with Mute

[fxground]

Hello,

My video element settings are in the secure note. I’m trying to have a poster image displayed with autoplay (and mute) turned on. Without the browser refreshing, I would like it to change from the poster image to the live feed, and then back to the poster image when the stream stopped.

Now, the live stream seems to play but hte poster image doesn’t go away. Can you tell me what im doing wrong? My expectation is that a poster image would go away once the feed is live.

Thanks for your assistance!

Ive found on another post this code below but it didn’t work. The browser is chrome.

jQuery(window).load(function(){
jQuery('.mejs-playpause-button button').click(function() {
jQuery('video.x-mejs').removeAttr('poster');
});
});

Hi @fxground,

Thanks for reaching out.
I have checked the similar setup in my local environment and it worked perfectly fine. Sometimes the only screenshot doesn’t help us to recognize the issue you are having. We need to examine your site to determine the cause of the issue. Can you please provide login credentials for your site in a secure note to examine it further, including:

– WordPress Site URL & Login URL
– WordPress Admin username/password
– Specific page where you are using this video.

Ok so just an update, this is probably happening because the video streaming i’m trying to do with the player is not a video file, youtube or vimeo link. Its from a cloudflare streaming link which is a choice of an HLS or Dash format.

Question #1) So I’m assuming this can’t be done with your player?
Question #2) is my only option to use their embed player?

Thanks

Question 3) can we get supported added for this as i’ve seen some requests for it now in past posts.

Hey @fxground,

Could you please provide the page URL where we can find this Video along with the JS script on the page? Normally, the JS script should work as long as the video path is correct. If it is a Video Embed, it may work as well.

Thanks.
