    Hello

    What shortcode do you have to use if the video is on your own server (it is not in the media library but on my private web server, so I have the URL..

    The plugin keeps mentioning Youtube and other sites but I have a hard time figuring out the easiest option.. your own..

    Okay, so I got something working now using this:

    a href=”https://myurl/video/V01-Heavy-Metal.mp4&#8243; rel=”wp-videolightbox” title=”” img src=”https://myurl/video/videotemplate.jpg&#8221; alt=”Test”></a

    But this is not opening a nice lightbox but it goes to a new page fullscreen and opens it in there, i think it is using the default wordpress viewer. (i removed parts of the code so that it doesn’t link here..)

    Hi, can you edit your shorcode so it looks similar to the following shorcode.

    <a href="https://example.com/images/fullscreen/2.jpg" rel="wp-video-lightbox" title="This is the description"><img src="https://example.com/images/thumbnails/t_2.jpg" width="60" height="60" alt="This is the title" /></a>

    Regards

    Hello

    Now it shows me the thumbnail correct and when clicked it seems to want to open a lightbox but the says a window with:

    “Image cannot be loaded. Make sure the path is correct and image exist.”

    Not sure why it says “image” as it is loading a video, and the path is correct. 100%

    Hi, what is the actual shortcode you are using?

    Thank you

    The one you gave me. The first link goes to the mp4 file, the second to the jpg.

    Hi, looking closely at your code above. I notice that you are talking about an mp4 file. This plugin currently does not support mp4 files. You can read more about it from the following thread.

    Kind regards
