yes I know all that, I have converted a lot of clips to mp4 + ogv + webm and all are working on the site since the site is targeted to video production. I have also uploaded preview images and they are working also.

But Safari wont work well with the enfold video player include with the theme. It is very easy to use but since 50% of the time the preview image is displayed at wrong size on Safari (which pretty much every Mac user have) before pressing play on the video it is not something I would like to use on a live site for a client.

I managed to get video.js to work but it is a bit akward to hand over the website to my client and tell them to work with shortcodes that is like 3 rows with text each time they want to publish a new video. They dont know much about html code, that´s why I liked the theme but since the video feature does not include a fullscreen option button and the bug described above on Safari the video function is a bit downgrading. Other than that I really like the theme. :/

Where exactly can I insert a shortcode from another video player plugin that does not get conflicting errors with the theme layout builder. I have now tried a bunch of plugins with shortcodes and they all work with the default page editor in wordpress but as soon as I insert the shortcode in a text block or code block (in the Enfold Layout Builder) and view the published page the plugin stops working.

For example flowplayer
https://wordpress.org/plugins/flowplayer5/

But I have tried a lot more and this is just eating up my days now…

I have some videos there and I have set them to be full width of the page, around 1030px. The preview image is 800×450 but when I reload Safari a couple of times it does very often load up the preview image as 480 x 270. I have no Idea why it does that. There is no image in the upload folder that is of that size. This happens on the Enfold layout builder with your “video button / media module”. It is not the wordpress one.

Can you give one example of a clean video player that can be inserted via short code inside the layout builder without conflicting with the theme?

The native wordpress video player only works when I use the default editor.

Hi

Thanks for the response. Sorry, was unclear in my description, I am using self-hosted videos uploaded in mp4 + ogv + webm + preview image in same folder.

Please see link below to a screendump of the player on my site. It would be nice to have a fullscreen button option for the users and also perhaps a transparent play button. And since sometimes the grey button interface section in the bottom dissapears when hovering mouse it´s a bit difficult to make the users directly understand that it is a video and not just an image :)
