Accepted Answerad 1) I have hack... that always worked, so far.
If your video file is too big to upload it thru SPPB media, for example, it has 10-25-50 MB:
- Create/Use a small video file 500KB (max 1MB) with orginal filename.
- Upload it using SPPB Media !
- Then using FTP tool or File Manager (cPanel) upload orginal (big) video file on that same location (path) that you have small dummy video. Yes, override that small file.
- After all SPPB should be able to see that file in browser
Alternative idea: You can always remember path to video file and manually put it in URL field. Even with https + domain name if classic path would not work.
I've spent over an hour trying different solutions.
Sometimes you have to think out the box. How to cheat the system. Not follow the rabbit.

Accepted AnswerHi
1/ video I can do the same as you. What I'd like to do is put the video file in the joomla directory that SPPB can't see!
/images/0_themes/video/Altius_travaux_en_hauteur_expertise_v2.mp4
2/ and 3/ https://pic.infini.fr/gallery#FMQ6Ts1e/uNKw1ABz.png

Accepted AnswerHello
1/ I'm very embarrassed.
I'm trying to move the (working) mp4 file to different directories /media/videos/... It's never recognized by SPPB. I've spent over an hour trying different solutions.
Can you have a look and publish it.
Thanks

Accepted Answerad 2) If color settings somehow do not work or are unavailable, use Custom CSS. If you would set ones they will be set permanently.
ad 3) Images in slideshow are used as background image - so they do not have link according to HTML/CSS syntax. Of course there are crazy CSS hacks for that, but maybe just make Title a link.

Accepted AnswerThanks Paul for the hack 1/ I hope someone notes the difficulty to improve this!?
