Hi there,
Suddenly, many videos I have on two Tower sites have stopped auto playing. I changed nothing, but this started happening in several areas.
clearpathglobal.com – The 2nd and 3rd slider video on the homepage are frozen. Interestingly, the first slider video DOES work. AND a video containing an industrial shipping port on the services page has stopped playing.
vchainanalytics.com – the video of the forklift isn’t moving
After noticing this issue, I replaced the videos with smaller file size versions and confirmed they’re all MP4’s but had no success.
Thanks

Hello,
Are you referring to the slider videos in homepage? I checked them and they all seem to start playing without issue. Please see this screen recording: https://jmp.sh/sTklnVK
Where are you trying this? What browser? Do you have any add-ons installed?
Let us know.Best regards!

Thanks for your response. I’m using Safari and am still having the same issues for both websites. I saw your video and double checked in Chrome where everything seems to be working fine for both sites. EXCEPT, now the video (globe) on the slider on the Services page https://clearpathglobal.com/services/ isn’t working in Safari AND Chrome.
I don’t think I have any add-ons installed. I’m using the following plug-ins:
A5 Custom Login Page
Askimet Anti-Spam
Contact Form 7
Envato Toolkit
Hello Dolly
Jetpack
Login with Ajax
Mailchimp
MOJO Marketplace
SumoMe
Typekit
User Avatar

Hello,
Please deactivate all third party plugins you are using that did not came out with the theme originally. Then add just to remove the alternative that it could be a server/mime type issue, add these lines in your .htaccess file:
# Video AddType video/mp4 mp4 m4v f4v f4p AddType video/ogg ogv AddType video/webm webm AddType video/x-flv flv
For more details check the link (scroll down to the last section): https://blog.patricktresp.de/2012/02/
Let us know how it goes.
Best regards!

Hello,
I see you have an old version of theme. A lot has changed ever since version 1.8.1. The latest version is 2.2. Please update theme first and it’s included plugins. Let us know if the issue persists after it.
Best regards!

I was able to update the theme using “update theme using wordpress” as outlined here: https://codeless.co/tower/documentation/main.html#update_theme and am still having the same issues.
Except, now on the services page, the video image is not centered vertically.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I opened both site’s and the video were perfectly working. Here: https://vchainanalytics.com/ and here: https://clearpathglobal.com/services/
I made a screen recording of the last: https://jmp.sh/1wTAxH1To center the video in services, add this code into your custom css box:
.video_section #video_background { max-height: 163% !important; margin-top: -250px !important; }
Let us know.
Best regards!

Thank you for your response. I’m not certain, but the video you posted doesn’t look like you were using Safari. Everything is working fine in Chrome, but I’m still having all the same issues in Safari on my computer as well as others.
For reasons I can’t explain, the video on vchainanalytics.com is working fine as of this morning, but I’m still having all the same issues I originally reported for clearpathglobal.com.
Thanks also for the code you provided, but it didn’t change anything.

Hello,
We have investigated this and it seems to be an issue with video format calls in Safari. I have reported it to our developers and we are working on it. We will include the fix in the next theme update.
In the mean time please use any browser except Safari.
Sorry for the inconvenience!Best regards!
-
That’s unfortunate, because surely many of our site visitors are using Safari. I’ll update the version as soon as I get it. Thanks!
The Codeless Slider Video on top of the Services page is still not centering vertically, despite the code you sent. This happens on all browser platforms. Please help. :)
Thanks

Hello,
I checked the custom css box, you had an error before the code of video. I commented out the line with the error. It’s this one:
/* background-repeat:<repeat-style>;*/
Then i checked the video and it’s centered like when i first tried the custom code(before sending it to you). Please see a screen recording of your Services page now:
https://jmp.sh/1wTAxH1
I got the same result when viewing it in Firefox as well.
To further position the video, just change the values of the custom css to your wish.
Let us know.Best regards!

The video is centered horizontally as it has been (which is great), but still not vertically. I’m hoping for the globe to be fully and perfectly centered in the window. Thanks.

Hello,
Actually i was referring to the second video (the boat in harbor), the screen recording and code was for that.
However, i moved the custom css from main Custom Css Box to the page’s custom css box and added another chunk of css for the globe video background.
This is the resulting code:.codeless_slider #video_background { max-height: 163% !important; margin-top: -123px !important; } .video_section #video_background { max-height: 163% !important; margin-top: -200px !important; }

Edit the values to your wish if you want to further move around the videos.Best regards!
