Tagged: color section, video background
Hi there,
Is there any chance to show a background image instead of the black background while the video is loading or in case that it is not loading properly?
I have activated a background image as well as a background video, but when the video is not loading, the background is only black.
Thanks!
Hey tinip,
Would you mind providing a precise link to your site, showing the elements in question? We need to be able to inspect them in order to help accurately. :)

I am sorry, the site is local at the moment as it is in development.
But there are no special formats, it’s the standard color section with a background image and additional video background set. During video load the screen is black, as well when the video does not load for some reason. I would change that color or, even better, show the background image during loading time.
It seems to be the same in the demo http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/homepage/home-v9-videos-and-parallax/, before the videos load, there is a black screen (e.g. the milk video).
Thanks for looking into it.

Wow, Mike, thank you very much for the research. I thought it would bei something within the theme and thus some css to change. I did not want to cause such a lot of work for you. Thanks, I will check those sources out!
