    I am trying to show a video as a slider frame but instead of the video being the full width of the page it shows in a player with the youtube logo. So only videos that are self hosted can play full page width? Why is that?

    I am trying to make Youtube host it because if I self host it then it does not start playing immediately and all I see is a blank page. Is there anyway to speed it up or do something to make the video start playing immediately. The video is 55MB in size

    Hi, thanks for getting in touch.

    Here is a demo page showing the Hero and then the Slider Widget playing a YouTube video full-width. The Page Builder row in use has been set to Full Width Stretched. The load time issue when playing self-hosted videos sounds like a server delay. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is much we can do about that.

    Does not work I made it stretched with full width but the video is still displaying in a small player in the corner of the slide. This is the video I am trying to show as a slide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yT3T07HcO0

    Here you can see what it looks like https://ibb.co/8zdhf29

    I’ve updated the demo page linked above with your video. I’m unsure why the issue is occurring on your site. Please, update your thread to include a link to the page you’re working on in the provided field or share a link in a reply so we can take a look.

    It looks like FitVids.js isn’t loading. You can try testing for a plugin conflict as follows:
    – Clear the Litspeed cache.
    – Temporarily deactivate all plugins at once except for Page Builder and the Widgets Bundle.

    Does the issue persist in the above state?

    I deactivated all plugins except page builder and widgets bundle like you said but issue persists

    Litespeed is present in the page source.

    I disabled it before I sent the message and then enabled it again cause maybe some setting was causing an issue I now disabled all of them and only page builder and widgets bundle are enabled yet the issue persists

    Thanks for trying. Does the issue resolve if you temporarily install https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/fitvids-for-wordpress/?

    Yes it makes the video display full page but the slider does not work and it stays on the videp after it stops. Nevermind I fixed it. Works now thanks for your help

    Hi,

    That’s great to hear! ??
    I’ve had a look at your video and it appears the timeout is set to 29 seconds (29000). The video length is 27 seconds so there will be a slight gap before the next slide shows. To completely prevent it you should set the slide Timeout to 27000. This can be done in the the widgets Controls section.

    Kind regards,
    Alex

    Thanks for the update; glad to see you’re making progress. We’ll try to introduce a FitVids options for the Slider in the future to accommodate themes that aren’t bundling FitVids. Cheers.
