I have a similar question in regards to videos not displaying in header but playing in the page content. I using amazon s3 to host my video content and embedding videos html5 <video> code. I have made sure all the video setting are correct and playing videos in the header works for youtube and vimeo but not for our self hosted s3 videos. We would prefer to display our self hosted s3 video content rather than youtube because have had problems getting our channel shut down due to youtubes community guidelines and the fact that we are teaching people to grow cannabis. here is a link to the specific post on the site http://schoolofhardnugs.com/unit-farm-led-set-up/
any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello ogthugs,
thanks for writing in. Andrea here from Themes2go Customer Support.
I’ve just split the topic to a new one.
Before excluding code bugs, can you please send me one your video URL from Amazon S3?

Thanks,
Andrea

here is a link to the S3 video source https://s3.amazonaws.com/sohn/All+Finished+Videos/BubbleHash.mp4 and here is a link to the page where it does not work in the header http://schoolofhardnugs.com/bubble-hash-how-to/

Hello!
For cloud videos, there is no oEmbed, so you need to use the video shortcode, like this:

[video src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/sohn/All+Finished+Videos/BubbleHash.mp4"]

Hi,
if you experience some issue with this shortcode (for example double video player) try this:

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://s3.amazonaws.com/sohn/All+Finished+Videos/BubbleHash.mp4"][/video]

Keep me posted on that.
Have a good day,

Andrea

this did the trick
[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://s3.amazonaws.com/sohn/All+Finished+Videos/BubbleHash.mp4"][/video]
without the size video playing in the header wasn’t responsive after scroll down.
Thanks again!!!
