Video control in JA Flix wit Custom / Embed

dannyblaq

I just downloaded JA Flix and wanted to work with it for my new site.

My issue is with the video content. Youtube, Local work as expected but I also us Da Cast as my video hosting platform for my exclusive videos. The custom embed works but I can't control the video and the play button does not disappear unlike the other service.

When I select it, it shows but the play button doesn't do anything nor can you pull up the controls almost like there is a mask layer over it.

Da Cast has an iframe option and JS option. JS makes the video not integrate well with the theme the iframe options does. It looks identical to Youtube but doesn't behave like it.

How is this content managed and where can I modify it to work with Da Cast platform?

Hi dannyblaq

JA Flix template uses video content type to show up videos on site, I've not used Da Cast platform yet so not sure how it performs in a Joomla site.

You can share the credentials of your site and a sample of part / content that you want Da Cast platform works so I can check.

My site is currently on my local machine with localhost using MAMP.

I can share the embed code and if you are able to add it to the video content on JA Flix, you will see what I am talking about.

I can add the Youtube and it works perfectly, but with custom it look good, however the play button in the middle won't go away and none of the video controls show up and work. So if I don't enable autoplay the video can't be started or stopped.

Below are the different embed codes available to me (JS / Iframe)

JS:

Iframe

And then these are for Facebook and Twitter

I use Youtube as well but for my exclusive content I don't put it on Youtube only my site, that's why it is important to me.

Any help is appreciated.
