HI,

When I place a MP4 or any other videofile in an article I can see the video in the preview screen fine.
At the front the video becomes a gray square with nothing in it.
I'm using 2.7.7 and Joomla 3.9.4.

Any ideas?

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. You'll find the video here: https://babytaal.nl/index.php/nl/onderzoek-1/quiz/1

In Extensions -> Plugins, do you have the System - SEF plugin enabled?

Yes. Its now off but no change.

It must be enabled.

On your site in the video example, it looks like the video source is not being correctly converted by the Joomla SEF plugin. This is probably because of the way you are loading the video after the page has loaded, so the SEF plugin is not processing the video.

Edit the video, and add a leading slash to the url, eg: /images/guru/video/Auw 5.mp4
