After updating from 4.2 to 4.3, the ‘video’ media elements only show a black square in the frontend. Video isn’t loading.
I waited for version 4.4, but also 4.4.1 doesn’t fix the issue (video background section is working properly. It’s just het Video media element causing problems).

June 5, 2018 at 10:55 am #967128Hi,
Thanks for that, I’ve seen this before and I think it’s due to Vimeo restrictions. As far as I can remember they will only allow one call to a video per page, and that would explain why your first video works but the rest are not. Would you be able to host them on Youtube instead maybe?
Best regards,
RikardJune 5, 2018 at 11:28 am #967154Rikard,
Youtube would be a workaround, but I prefer to use this as last option while I have some other reasons to use Vimeo. So I hope you don’t mind I try to find another solution first.As Enfold 4.2 didn’t give any problems, and updating to 4.3 or higher gives the black boxes, can you probably ask the team which change in Enfold could possibly cause this behaviour? There should be some logic, while when I restore the old Enfold version, the videos show up again.

Can you please disable performance and update to Enfold 4.4.1 and let us know if the issue is solved?
Best regards,
BasilisJune 7, 2018 at 11:20 am #968537Basilis,
I didn’t change anything:
current Enfold version is allready 4.4.1
And in Performance settings I don’t see one central location to switch it off, but on the performance tab:
– CSS and JS file merging are disabled
– Template builder allways loads all elements
– All checkboxes are switched off
– No caching or image otimizing plugins are active or installedSo settings were allready like you suggested, but the problem exists.
I hope you have other suggestions. No problem for me to test or feel free to login yourself.
Thanks for your time!
June 7, 2018 at 11:57 am #968688I had the same problem, but with youtube videos. I manually included the video.js script at child theme footer.php like this
<script src="/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/video/video.js"></script>
June 7, 2018 at 1:23 pm #968739fusionedv, thank you for your input!
I copied your code in the bottom part of the footer.php like below. Unfortunately this doesn’t solve the issue. I also added it on top, but also no result. Did I paste it in a wrong position? Or is your fix just not working in my case?Sytse
<div id="fb-root"></div> <?php /* Always have wp_footer() just before the closing </body> * tag of your theme, or you will break many plugins, which * generally use this hook to reference JavaScript files. */ wp_footer(); ?> <script src="/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/video/video.js"></script> </body> </html>

Is the footer.php in your child theme from Enfold 4.4.1?
Best regards,
VictoriaJune 11, 2018 at 8:57 pm #971387Hi Victoria, Yes, the footer.php is from Enfold version 4.4.1.
(if you open the Vimeo links, it gives an 404 error while all video’s have privacy settings which say the video’s are hidden on Vimeo and can only be ’embedded’ on the domainname of this website (same setting for videos which show in the background elements).I hope you have other suggestions.

We had to re-add the vimeo url and append the autopause parameter. They’re displaying now.

RikardMay 30, 2021 at 2:51 pm #1303013Hello, did this issue get fixed in the end? I’m having it now with version 4.7.5? I’m getting a black square with just the URL.
Thx

The solution of Ismael: “We had to re-add the vimeo url and append the autopause parameter. They’re displaying now.”
Solved the issue for me.May 31, 2021 at 11:40 am #1303153Hello sberendss,
Sorry re-adding the URL in the video element doesn’t work? It’s a Youtube link Im using, and I’ve also tried this with a clean installation with no plugins and still the same result?
May 31, 2021 at 1:56 pm #1303180Mercury88, I’m afraid I can’t help you.
I think you can best start a new question on this support forum.S
May 31, 2021 at 2:25 pm #1303193No problem, thanks
May 31, 2021 at 4:05 pm #1303220Hi,
@mercury88 Please refer to this post – https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/theme-update/ and update Enfold to the latest version 4.8.3.
If that does not help, please start a new thread under Enfold sub forum and attach temporary admin logins in private content field so we can look into it :)Best regards,
