I'm building a website on wordpress, I tried to upload a mp4 video file through my dashboard but I wasn't able to do so. So I simply uploaded through my filezilla. Then I style a little bit and after I worked on the autoplay and stuff like that, I tried on my chrome browser, when I found out that it doesn't work. The weird thing is that this very video is possible to be displayed from all the other browser: firefox, safari and opera. The weirder thing is that on <a href="http://caniuse.com/" rel="nofollow">http://caniuse.com/</a> I discovered that indeed this extention should be supported by chrome.
Here's my code:
and here it is the css:
and bootstrap as a framework.
Any clue why it is not displayed on chrome?
UPDATE:
Here is the link of the webpage where the video is: <a href="http://chickapea.larchedigitalmedia.com/recipes/" rel="nofollow">http://chickapea.larchedigitalmedia.com/recipes/</a>
ANOTHER UPDATE:
There are two main problems: I added another format and an image in order to create a fallback, in case the browser doesn't support mp4 (I downloaded an app for mac called free mp4 converter to solve the problem of the fact that my video was a m4v even if it had a mp4 extension, even in that case it didn't work) so now it is visible on google chrome, but it is not visible on my phone (android - nexus 5x). So I don't really have a clue about what it is going on (my phone is not able to display the video and when I scroll down there's a weird effect with the element that I put on the video, a div with an h2 inside).
My code now is:
And the css is:
for the video:
Here's my code:
Code:
<div class="video-container">
<video autoplay loop id="bgvid">
<source src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/ChickapeaRecipesPageHeader3.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
</div>
and here it is the css:
Code:
video#bgvid {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
.video-container {
width: 100%;
max-height: 400px;
overflow: hidden;
z-index: -100;
}
and bootstrap as a framework.
