Hello, I'm French so excuse me for writing. I just installed GpPremium. this is the first time I use this theme. It is well noted so I try.
I read the forums and the documention several times. I wish to put a video in head but I can not. I followed the instructions of https://docs.generatepress.com/article/page-hero-background-video/
But it does not work. I only have the poster that is visible. I use Mellow as a library. Can you help me ? thank you so much.
Hi there,
can you share a link to the Site? You can edit your first topic and use the Site URL field to share the URL privately.
Hello
I modified the link in my first topic. I did several tests. But still nothing. I can just display an image and a writing. Thank you for your help
In this part of the HTML:
<source src="URL/TO/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Can you add the full URL to the video file.
I did a test with another video. I put a video .ogv
she is on my server for the moment. I put a poster also
The video needs to be served from HTTP / HTTPS
Try uploading a video to your Media and use the URL it provides.
For now I have to work in http. I work on a subdomain but the site will be https when it will be online.
That's why it does not work then?
Sorry i was meant to write HTTP ... the video you added was coming from FTP.
Ah yes of course
The test video is too heavy to be installed in the media. Thank you.
Is it better to put the video in the media or can I put a video on youtube?
What is the best method? Thanks
Unfortunately YouTube doesn't provide a direct link to the actual video file, so it won't work.
The best option is Vimeo.
very good
I thank you for your help and your speed of response
Thank you and good day :)
Glad to be of help
