Page Headers Background Video Not Playing

Hi Im having an issue with the background videos for Page Headers I set are not playing. I added the file links in the admin area but they are still not playing. It's strange because it was working a few days ago. Its probably a plugin issue but Im not sure which.
I think this is being caused by a javascript error on the page. Perhaps from a plugin called "Light YouTube Embeds"?
Ahh ok let me check it out, that sucks if it does that program did a great job of helping with the load time on YouTube Videos
EDIT: I just removed the script for it which was in the GP Hooks area but the videos are still not playing
I also checked the Network tab in the console and I see the .mp4 loading but its still not playing and Im not seeing any other Javascript errors there.
Very strange. Any chance you can try disabling your other plugins to rule out a conflict?
In GPP 1.7 (https://generatepress.com/gp-premium-1-7/), you'll have more control over adding video backgrounds to Page Heros: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/page-hero-background-video/
1.7 Premium does look really cool
I am currently working on getting the plugins restarted and see which one is causing the problem, thanks I'll report back once I figure it out.
