Lay Theme Forum

@arminunruh we did test logs on the server side. It seems like the browsers (sometimes) cache the videos in a wrong way.

server gets sometimes a 304 not modified

it really just happens on mobile.

by the way, how did you create those logs?

@arminunruh

I could try to do it over a cdn.

Hi Armin,
thanks so much for looking into this! :) appreciate it!
I turned on lazya loading AND updated laytheme. It seems to me it still happens.

Do you think I need to scale the videos down even more and lower the bitrate?

@arminunruh they can give me access to m3u8 file, which is as far as I understand sth similar.

Hey guys,

Im lm looking for a dev who can help me to find a solution for my video thumbnail problem.

See a full description of the issue here: http://laythemeforum.com:4567/topic/10711/disable-video-thumbnails-on-mobile

In short: On web project video thumbnails works great - on mobile project video thumbnails mostly dont load.

If theres anyone who can help me with that, lets get in touch!

Actually I tried two things:

with lazyloading on, just the first checkbox

• on wifi with 200mbit connection everything loads
• on LTE Data, i have to refresh twice

browser: firefox in inkognito tabs, so cache is empty
seems to me like it takes too long to load the data, so the browser decides to skip it?

if i load the same videos, just normally embedded there seems to be no problem. I did a testpage for that.

Hey yeah it sometimes Happen, sometimes not.
Would you recommend lazy loading?
I have Vimeo Pro but their player is just so Slow that I decided to Switch to mux as Video Hoster.

I will see into that loading Option. The Videos Look nice tho 🥸
It’s beautiful when it works. It also just Seel to have a Problem on mobile

I feel like it also depends on the Internet connection. Is it possible to replace the videos with a streaming link of eg mux?

hi these are my settings. this also just happens on mobile. so,etimes even when all videos are loaded, when i go back and forth between categories, some videothumbnails stay white.

should i use lazy loading?

tested on ipad m1, safari
iphone 16, safari, firefox, chrome

thnak you man, appreciate your help! 🙏

what would also work, if they all just load. it seems to me they sometimes load, and sometimes not.
the videos are mp4 h264 MAIN lvl 4.1 1.5mbit with 640px width resolution
any help appreciated!

It happens almost everytime that video previews are not loaded fully on mobile. Sometimes none of the videos are being loaded.

Is there a way to solve that or disable video project thumbnails completely?

Is it possible to embed html code or a bunny.net video in the lightbox?
Unfortunately vimeo became very buggy, thats why im moving to a different provider.

If not can you recommend a variant where i can open a video in a lightbox?

thank you!

Hi,

I would love to use the intro video function on my website. To get the best quality for each client I would love use a video hosted on youtube or bunny.net. Alternatively I am also ok to render 3-4 different versions and let wordpress/ plugin select the correct version for the clients bandwith.

my questions:

• can I use bunny.net or youtube as intro video (autoplay, no player buttons)
• is there a plugin that works with lay theme (like https://wpbackgrounds.com/ but I didnt find a way to make it work)

thank you.

hi,
is it possible to add a skip button to the intro video?
also for visitors with lower bandwith would be nice to implement a youtube video as intro video, so its automatically adjusts the quality accordingly to the available bandwith. Or are there any other solutions?

Thank you!

hi there,
im looking for a solution to make a playbutton open a lightbox with a responsive autoplay vimeo video in there. I think the laytheme lightbox doesnt support that, so I was looking for different options/ plugins to do that.

any suggestions how i can achieve that?

Trying the same, but it seems it doesnt work anymore. Should I do sth different?
I'm trying to use linked html5 videos in gridder.
