Featured video blank ?

Hi!

We’ve starting using the “Featured video” feature instead of inserting the YouTube embed-script in the posts.

Unfortunately, it seems that (quite randomly) some videos doesn’t show up at all and some show up blank (white space like a placeholder but no video).

Example not visible: https://www.livingsmarttv.dk/4k-computerskaerm-videoredigering-gaming-2014/
Link inserted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk_7hlpC1yg

Example whitespace: https://www.livingsmarttv.dk/top-5-julegaveforslag-til-rigtige-maend-med-gadget-feber/
Link inserted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OWcYlB4TvA

As you can see, our videolinks are working properly by themselves, but now when used as featured video in the template.

How do we get this working?

Okay, so my colleague came in and we did a little test.

Mac Safari shows the videos.
Chrome + Firefox on Mac and PC doesn’t
Internet Explorer shows a warning that the video is not safe content.

If we post the youtube embed script, everything is fine. When we use your Featured Video way, it seems most browsers block the video.

I’m not sure if this is due to our site being httpS, thus making the browsers want more secure videoembedding but hopefully you can add further info in this asap.

Hi,

Please check the following line inside ..\Newspaper\wp-content\themes\009\includes\wp_booster\td_video_support.php – http://screencast.com/t/Do3tolsA0J , if it’s http modify it to https and check if the issue is still there.

Thank you, Emil G.
