MP4 Video image and sound plays fine but there is no play arrow icon in the centre of the screen at the start. If you click on where it should be the video starts. The play arrow at the left of the status bar remains an arrow (it doesn't change to the pause icon). Progress isn't shown on the progress bar, but if you click along the progress bar the video advances to that point (still nothing shows in the progress bar, however). Very, very faintly, below and to the left of the status bar you can just make out the pause icon, the progress bar (with progress shown), the time elapsed and total run time of the video. If you click on the play arrow when the video is running it pauses, you click again and it starts - so its just the status bar display that is the issue.
If you show the video at full screen display it displays in full screen, the "ghost" status bar disappears and sometimes a reversed out line in the upper left hand quadrant of the video appears saying "a.width is undefined". If you click escape to return to normal view it collapses to the video container size, but the display remains enlarged (i.e. you can only see part of it). If you click on the blue start icon the video pauses and reverts to its normal size.

Thank you.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem on a live site on which I'm doing some modifications. My debugger throws out the following:

It'd be great if you could publish the steps to solve it, since I might use the plugin on more sites if it works well.

Thanks in advance.

Add 'primary':'flash', in the sources.php file located in plugins/content/jw_allvideos/jw_allvideos/includes/ under

and let me know of the results.

It didn't work, no change in behaviour, though the printed JS code did indeed change as expected.
The debugger spits out the same errors.

I tried changing it in both the $mediaplayerEmbed and $mediaplayerEmbedRemote variables (as I'm using the mp4remote tag), but it won't do any good.

WARNING: The site has adult content.

The article is a test element to fix the production environment, it has no menu link or any direction other than the direct access.

EDIT: Autoplay was disabled for client performance reasons and responsive design limitations.

Try to Disable the Yootheme's Widgetkit and let me know.

It had an effect, but not good. The debugger no longer tells of any JS errors, but the player appeared as if it was broken, and the main page gives a PHP error, since the web is actually using the Widgetkit for a few things.

This is what I saw: nachovidal.com/media/nv_rep_fail.jpg

PS.: Since it is a production environment, I had to re-enable the Widgetkit inmediately after testing this, so please tell me if you need additional data.

Ok. Make sure that the mp4 file you are using is h.264 encoded. Also give it a try with a different video, like youtube just to make sure that the issue is with the mp4 files only.

Youtube works fine, but ogv and webm formats give the same error as mp4. When autoplay is on, all formats play correctly, but there are no controls, no matter what options are chosen.

Today I have checked the formats and conversions table, just in case, and all files have the correct codecs.
Also tried local addresses (relative URL tags, as opposed to the remote ones), but nothing, same lack of control bar.

This issues seems to be linked to the JW Player. I have seen several threads in their forums as well.
In the next version we will update the player so these issues will be fixed.

Ah good. Any time frame for the update?

After reading an additional topic on the issue, it seems that the problem is the Widgetkit combined with the responsive template of the player. I thought it wasn't the widgetkit as I hadn't tested the player templates, thinking them to work ok.

But this presents me with a problem. If I disable the widgetkit, I'd need a new slideshow component and a twitter module, as well as doing additional CSS work so that the player is included inside a custom-made responsive layer. I'm not too sure about disabling that, as it seamlessly interacts with the rest of the Joomla template (it is in fact included with the Yootheme template), being both developed by the same studio. Me and my partner are currently considering what options we have at hand, since it is an urgent matter and we can't wait for the next update.

Anyways, thanks for the quick answers.  :)

If it is of any use, this is as far as I was able to get in debugging, logging to the console the exception that triggered the "Could not setup controlbar" message:


Apart from that, I disabled a JS file from the widgetkit for testing, /media/widgetkit/js/jquery.plugins.js and the controlbar appears, but other errors are logged, besides the logical failure of the widgetkit:


Skin is still set on "Classic", which tells me that the "Responsive" one is definitely broken.

Oh, and the line numbers, that's because I reformatted the jwplayer.min.js file to do the proper debugging, otherwise it'd always say "line 1".

Cheers

Thank you for sharing this.
