    Just updated site to WP 4.9 and it broke the auto-play of video backgrounds to my Color Sections on every page. :-(

    home

    Console pulls this in Chrome:

    Uncaught TypeError: b(...).not(...).filter(...).mediaelementplayer is not a function
    at HTMLDocument.a (wp-mediaelement.min.js?ver=4.9:1)
    at c (jquery.min.js:4)

    And this in FF:

wp-mediaelement.min.js:1:453

TypeError: jQuery(...).magnificPopup is not a function
events:113:2

    Ironically I see the video playing fine in the new page editor of WP 4.9… but the site itself is broken.

    It also appears my transparent header background isn’t working on top of that video… it should be clear and it’s a gray bar… FF actually shows a broken image icon on the far left. Figured this out… this was a different issue with WP 4.9 upgrade.

    Reverted to Enfold 4.1.2 and the problems persist… so it is definitely a WP 4.9 issue with the new media stuff, but it affects 4.1.2. and 4.2. How do we fix this???

    Hi milkboy31,

    Here is a thread for you to consider

    Hi Victoria. This is not the issue. In fact, I was one of the first (if not the first) to suggest the fix for the width issue when 4.2 was released. This isn’t a display/width issue with the videos… this is an auto-play issue. If you visit this page for example: https://cedarcreek.tv/experience/ You will see there is a video as the top background. Seeing it in Firefox actually has a giant play button (Chrome hides this) that can’t be clicked, and the video doesn’t play on either browser.

    What happened with local MP4 color section background videos and wordpress 4.9???

    Ok I found the fix… I had to add this to my child theme functions.php file. I don’t know why…

    add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_register_javascript', 100);

function my_register_javascript() {
  wp_register_script('mediaelement', plugins_url('wp-mediaelement.min.js', __FILE__), array('jquery'), '4.8.2', true);
  wp_enqueue_script('mediaelement');
}

    I found it via this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47346965/wordpress-media-library-not-working-mediaelementplayer-is-not-a-function

    Now background videos play again.

    Hi milkboy31,

    Thanks a lot for sharing that, much appreciated. I’m not 100% sure yet as why videos are not working in 4.9, but I think it’s due to this issue: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/42574

    Btw, we really appreciate that you help out and contribute in other threads :-)

    Best regards,
    Rikard
