Video Virtue Theme

  • I uploaded flv, mov, m4v and mp4 files to the server by ftp because they were too large to upload via the media uploader.
    I added them to a portfolio but the

    flv file downloads instead of plays.
    the mp4 is too large for the screen and the user has to scroll.

    I used this embed code

    <iframe src=”https://mysite/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/myvideo.m4v&#8221; frameborder=”0″ width=”560″ height=”315″>allowfullscreen></iframe>

    1. How do I get the video to play at the right size?
    2. How do I get a thumbnail to show?
    3 How do i prevent the fly from downloading?

  • 1. I recommend using a plugin that controls your videos if you plan on using local m4v files instead of a video site like youtube or Vimeo.
    2. Take a screen shot and add it as your featured image.
    3. How are you adding the flv file? Or another question why are you using a flv file?

    If you want to embed a local video I would recommend using html5

    Thanks.
    1. Okay, I installed https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/ and the video format plays if I post it in the text editor. If I post the embed code in your video embed field the code displays on the published view but the video doesn’t play.
    2. I added the fly file through ftp bc it was a large file.

    How do I get videos that are not Youtube or Vimeo to play in the “If video project” area of the portfolio? The embed code didn’t work.

    1. The video embed code is only for youtube, vimeo videos.
    You can add your videos to the page in the text field and use the three row layout. Kadence Themes

    I am very new to website building. Actually, my website is for a summer travel blog. I want to download multiple videos to my Virtue Theme(free version). I was able to copy and paste the URL from one YouTube Video. Unfortunately when I try to add another YouTube video on my video page it does not work. I placed the URL just below the other one. Also, how can I keep the size down to the ones you see on YouTube before you actually click on the video. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hey,
    For better control I recommend using the themes youtube shortcode or a plugin. You can click the youtube shortcode button in your page editor. Then add the video information and set a max width.

    Here is the buttons I am talking about, make sure you have the “virtue toolkit” installed:
