Issue with sound when playing a video in an article

patvandenbosche

I'm having trouble with videos playing on other pages than the homepage. I've installed a second video player, and videos I've embedded do not have sound when I'm viewing them in my desktop computer. I'm using the latest Opera, Windows 10 is up to date. When I view the pages, the sound is just fine when using Chrome. It's not practical to ignore the issue with Opera.

So I'm wondering if the two video players are battling each other. So I have a two-part question.

What syntax would I use to embed videos in a content page using the html5 video player used on the homepage which was installed with the template quickstart?
What plugin was used for the video player? Or was it a module?

Here is a link to one of the pages where I've used the other video player by All Video Share:

Hi Pat,

If you mean the video with Lightbox popup on the homepage of this template, it's JA ACM module with type of video:

You can see how it's implemented in this folder: /templates/ja_landscape/acm/video/

Thank you that was what I was wanting.

I did have a problem with sound, and finally discovered what caused it. I was embedding videos in articles, and the viewing was fine, but no sound. I use Opera, and when I set the adblocker, it prevented the sound from any Youtube video. I was thrown into a quandry about it and now I'm telling everyone about it since I want to make sure my sites work in all the various browsers. Just an FYI.

In looking at the JA ACM module with type video, is there any way it can be modified to play Facebook videos? I know where to get the code for embedding them, but it won't work with Facebook videos at this time. If it's too big a request, would you consider it as a future feature addition? Thanks.

patvandenbosche Unfortunately, it doesn't support that FB video right now, I will share with the team for further consideration.

Thanks, I'm using FB's embed code right now, but I would really like if it was an option in the JA ACM module. That way I could control the background image.

patvandenbosche Could you share screenshot of the place you want to add that background image?

I set up a new row in the website using section 6-r and 6-l. I wanted to eliminate the use of a masthead image (as you will see in this screenshot) and have a background image with the play button on left and text on right for Facebook videos. I can do it now with Youtube, but Facebook wants their code used, which is pretty standard. However, in this screenshot I'm attaching, I opted for a solid background since two image would be fighting each other visually and I was unable to get the image to be as large as the homepage is for the video there.

Hi patvandenbosche

Could you share screenshot illustrating the modification you expect?
