    Hello,
    I'm trying to setup a page with a YouTube style of video list option setup as you scroll down the page. I've inserted Brightcove's two javascript call outs and inserted the empty DIV set to display="none" as it instructed. Along with that all the object code that is found in my Brightcove upload document. When I go to the page, the player is definitely there as I can highlight the space it should be playing in, but the video player is not to size, it's a white box only with no video playing. I opened up my inspector and have started looking around to see if anything is misfiring or not working due to a bad "GET" command, but it's fine reporting no errors.

    In addition, I've also opened the BrightCove video upload file to confirm it does work in a basic browser away from my ModX Evo environment, which it does smoothly.

    Any ideas as to why this might be happening? Based on what I can see in the BrightCove instructions, I'm not missing anything.

    Thanks in advance!

      Honestly go the Vimeo route particularly for mobile compatibility too. Brightcove is a pain. HTML 5 video embedding is actually becoming problematic...codec issues or something. I see lots of phone browser bugs. Vimeo embeds seem to have less headaches.

        With Evo and Revo you have full control over the front-end, so I can't think of a MODX-specific reason it doesn't work. Perhaps there's some kind of js conflict or error, or maybe Brightcove needs to be configured to allow the embed from your domain?

          Normally I would agree to go this route, however, we are avoiding Vimeo and YouTube on this occasion due to company blocking issues. I noticed that the MODX Evo CMS does strip out any HTML5 that I put into the WYSIWYG editors, so I've had to make some adjustments and work this feature in as an iFrame while faking just a bit of responsive inside that iFrame. Outside of that I've included them in a FancyBox and called it a day as a resolution.
