Tammy please disable all third-party plugins, update all default themes and switch to the default theme and try again

Because you can check in the demo, while inspecting the video element, that it has url like demo.oxwall.org/video/....... and yours have youtubeurl

Please let us know tammy if you got it going because i am not able to play videos, i get a half white box and nothing else.   Maybe your fix can help me and others if they have issue.

Dave, I don't think tammy would be able to help you with your issue, as his was just missing default video plugin:)


Can you please share URL where this occurs?

good to hear :0  yes i have mine set up in htaccess to only allow image referrals from certain sites which helps my hotlinking issue. In other words if someone wants to look at an image from the site its fine, but if they try outside the domain it wont work.  And videos are part of that, so i was getting the css block but not the actual image which was like an oh duh moment for me ...

You can't play video in the newsfeed, you can insert video URL and play it in the video section
