zpArdoise - Video thumbnails

tplowe56

I can't get any video player to work properly with zpArdoise theme. jplayer works best but does not display poster image. It used to work several iterations ago. Jplayer does play video, but you have to click on a link below the blank poster. While the text within the poster tells user to click link "above" so it very confusing to the user.

Tried Flow and Sublime, neither work with zpArdoise. Open to any code mods to get poster displaying properly with jplayer.

Have you tried standard theme to exclude it is a theme issue?

Yes, the poster images display with standard theme. It is a theme issue. I was hopeing Vincent might have a suggestion.

I actually get better results with Galleriffic turned on. Seems to be an interaction between Coloubox, Galleriffic & video. But it used to work on the last version of the theme.

Vincent, I'm getting the best video integration with mediaelementjs_player. But the user is instructed to click the link above which does not exist and if the user mistakenly clicks on "src="/gallery/themes/zpArdoise/images/video-placeholder.jpg" it invokes an empty Colorbox, so it is very confusing to the user. Clicking on the caption below does invoke the video player.

Galleriffic is a very old script and not maintained by its developer since 2009. It is only compatible with current jQuery version with tricks, too.

It was never compatible with video players itself because there are always conficts of scripts within scripts (rebinding issues) (there was another theme name zpGalleriffic which zpArdoise is based on which had the same problems).
