webm or MP4 wont appear on page

  • I am trying to embed a webm into a page. whenever I try to insert it using ‘insert media’ or the themes in-built shortcode generator all I get is an icon saying [No items found]. If I inspect the file in the Media Library, or if I click on [No items found] it plays fine.

    I have also tried it with a H264/MP4 and get the same result.

    Here is the shortcode:

    [video width="2000" height="518" mp4="https://mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/AnimFrame-2.mp4"][/video]

    [video width="4000" height="1038" webm="https://mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/AnimFrame.webm"][/video]

    Neither of them work. Just get a blank space.

    I can get it to work with a plugin but I dont want a player as such. I just want it to be a video playing on the page with no interactive elements (play button,timeline, time etc)

    Thanks in advance

    Does it work if you temporarily switch to the Twenty Fifteen theme? I suspect your theme’s built-in shortcode may be conflicting with WordPress’s built-in shortcode.
