CDN not working on video playlist.

Hello @baptistej

I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to assist you with this.
Can you please share your website URL so we can check this?
Thank you!

I can’t share the URL here sorry.

Here is the HTML of the playlist with the CDN enabled. When I play the playlist, none of the videos are served using the CDN.

<div class="wp-playlist-next"></div>

Hello @baptistej

Thank you for the information. So the videos are uploaded to CDN and being served from the CDN. What you are seeing when you play the playlist depends on HTML your player generates, but the videos are served from the CDN.
Thank you!

Yep they are on the CDN but in the network tab on Google Chrome I can clearly see they download from my website instead.

Can I do something to force the download from the CDN instead?

Hello @baptistej

As stated in the previous post What you are seeing when you play the playlist depends on HTML your player generates, but the videos are served from the CDN.
Thank you!

They really are? In the Chrome network tab I don’t see any of them using my CDN url.

I don’t understand how they can served from the cdn if they don’t use my cdn url.

Hello @baptistej

Again for this is responsible your player for the HTML it generates.
Thanks!

How can I make this work then? I found another CDN plugin that work with my playlist but have less options. I think w3 total cache should just work with playlist.

Hey @vmarko

I found another caching plugin where the CDN actually work on wordpress video playlist.

I think W3 total cache should also be updated to support that too.
