Video stopped working

Hello xorred,

First of all be mindful of your post and be CIVIL. You will not get what you want by shouting at the developer. The proper way to report this is to post a link to your site and describe the problem.

The old video slide has been deprecated since 2.7.0 and has been removed in support in the default template. Read the changelogs before blindly updating.

If you are using YouTube videos use the YouTube slide. If you are using Vimeo videos use the Vimeo slide. Select the Standard template instead of the Default template. There are icons next to the template that tells you what slide type it supports.

I would not be posting here if the Youtube version worked, but it doesn’t.

It just shows a white slide (white background) with the same text – unsupported slide.

This is a live site and you would understand me being unhappy about it being broken with a plugin update.

Hello xorred,

Yes I do understand. For the solution please update to version 2.7.6 and use the YouTube slide type for your youtube videos. The old video slide is deprecated and no longer supported.

The advantage of using the YouTube slide type (or Vimeo) vs the old video slide is that your videos that are on PLAY will PAUSE when moving to the next slide.

Check the live demo of thumbnails template for referrence.

Did I not say above that both video and youtube are not working?

Oh, yea – you issued an update with a fix – my bad – THANK YOU!

No prob. Tip: you can add a background on that 2nd slide to hide the youtube video from peeking from behind. Something like this in your style.css:

.cycloneslider-template-thumbnails .cycloneslider-slide{
	background: #000;
}
