Images load but MP4 videos don’t

Hi,
there’s a temporary limitation on videos over certain size – they must be set to “Anyone with a link can view” permission.

Hope this helps,
Marek

I changed the folder permission as requested and here is the link which plays on any browser without requiring logging into the Google account.

However, the folder named “BSF Videos” on this page is still not loading.

Hi,
there seems to be some further issue with the page. Could you please temporarily turn on WordPress debugging?

Thanks,
Marek

The following setting is in the config.sys file.

define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );

So far I can see nothing on the page.

Hi,
I don’t know what is a config.sys file, but they should go into wp-config.php as far as I used them…

You probably won’t see any difference, I will ??

Thanks,
Marek

They are in the wp-config.php file. I had a brain fart when typing ??

This is what I have:

define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true )

Ugh, well it seems WP blocks debugging after all.
Please also do this…

Thanks for the patience,

The suggested change on the link does not tally to the file I have. There is a comment on line 336. I’m using WP 5.5.

True, it’s line 403 now ??

Made the change you requested.

ini_set( ‘display_errors’, 1 )

Ok,
I can see some info now. If you ping me over at [email protected], I can see you a fix. However, from what I can tell, there is a video with undefined width in the directory – that’s causing issues for the plugin and I can work around them by detecting it, but I cannot fix it. Are there any corrupted files?

Thanks,
Marek

As you requested that drive to be shared with link, here is the link for you to view them on any modern browser. There are only two videos in that folder. Neither is broken or out-of-spec.

I’m with the same problem. In fact your demo page https://demo-skaut-google-drive-gallery.skauting.cz/videos/? for video doesn’t work. The circle keeps spinning in the same way of this issue. Tested in Chrome, Safari and Firefox.

Not exactly the same. In my case even the videos do not show as thumbs. In the above page thumbs show but they don’t play.
