    Hi All,

    I’m trying to display a short video clip and although on inspection the browser sees the video it does not display and when I click on ‘copy video link’ and paste in to a new tab I get a 404 error. Incredibly frustrating. The video is located in the main directory. It should play instantly.

    Basic code:

    <div class="fullscreen-video-wrap">
      <video id="my-video" preload="auto" autoplay loop="loop" muted="muted">
        <source src="video/summit-vid.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
      </video>
  </div>

  • Hi @maccready

    If the video is located in the main directory of your website then you need to change your code. Your code indicates that the video file resides in a folder named “video”. It should be src=”summit-vid.mp4″. Alternatively you can put the full url of the video in the src parameter.

    Thanks Tim,

    One of those days today. In the end I uploaded it via the media library and used the direct URL ??
