MP4 video not playing when Show Control toggled Off

Asked by Mike Lawson 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hello, I have a video addon with the MP4 player enabled..when I chooe to turn OFF the Controls, it hides the controls on my video..but I cant play the video. I normally can click anywhere on the video and it will play, but not the case with Show Control toggled off.

Im using SPPB version 3.8.10 in Joomla 3

We have used HTML video tag on the addon. HTML video tag does not work without controls. The video will not play. It is the technology and there is no control in our hand. Hopefully, you will understand this.

We have checked and fixed the forum notification email issues. You should get it now. Please check your SPAM folders.

Ok, credentials sent

Also, can you look into why Im not getting any notifications for forum/support updates? Thanks

Sorry, it will not work without Show Control options. You have to keep this option on.

Mike Lawson Asked this

What??? That doesnt make any sense...why would you have that option if it wont let the video play at all?

Pretty sure that is a bug that should be fixed, no?

Also, Im going to mention this one more time..can you please look into why Im not getting email notifications for forum updates?

Ok thank you. Then Id suggest removing that option from the add on...it doesnt make sense to have it.

The option is here because if you use Show Control -> Off and Autoplay -> On, then the video will autoplay. No control will be shown. This is the use case of this option. If both autoplay and show control are off, then nothing will happen.

The video does not play at all, regardless if I have autoplay on or off.

Ofi Khan Staff

It is autoplaying without show control. Please check the screencast.
