Ah ok I gotcha. Ok I’ll try that and figure out why it’s doing it.
Just a quick thought, not sure if it will make a difference or not but have you tried this option?
It may not make any difference with YouTube videos, might as well quickly try that though. I’ll try and replicate it with a couple of videos and get back to you.
This looks like its working. I didnt even think to try because I was under impression there was no poster as such for these youtube vidoes and it was more of a browser thing. Will test across browsers now.
Thanks!
Works a treat!
Brilliant! saves me a job today! Hope it all works 
haha me too, I was going to rebuild the filtering. Thanks mate.
Happy to help
I think it’s trying to run the pause action before the video player has loaded a video?
I must go through these actions and stop this from happening!
Where did you put the pause action? Send us a screenshot showing the order or things and I should be able to spot the problem.
Sure thing.
So the video player is in a repeating group, and it’s a feed (it’s a Tiktok clone)
So when a video is swiped into view, there’s a workflow to ‘restart the video player’ with the new video. When the video goes out of view, there’s a workflow to pause the video player.
Here are the two workflow screenshows. Nothing fancy. What’s weird is that sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t and I can’t tell what happens. For example, right now it just started working perfectly again. But it’s on and off every so often.
Also the reason I’m doing it like this is I’d tried to set the video to play when in view using the plugin, but that hasn’t worked for me. So the play is linked to a different element. When that element comes into view, the video starts playing.
I will fix that for you, leave it with me for a bit. I’m pretty sure I know what’s going on.
Paul,
I guess my problem is that I am trying to save the actual video file to the DB and not just the URL. I suppose that isn’t possible?
Thanks,
Roy
I don’t think so. You have to save the file to your file storage area first and then save a reference to it using the URL in your DB.
Can you update the plugin and retry this. Hopefully it should resolve your problem.
It seems to work fine, but since it was an issue that would show up every so often, I can’t be 100% sure. But I will definitely update you if it happens again. If not, I’d say it’s safe to assume that it works now
Hi Paul,
I am experiencing the same issue about the video sometimes works and sometimes does not. I don’t know what it is. It is usually when I move things a bit but nothing show should concern the videoplayer. Then when I undo the move, the video works again. or sometimes it just work again by itself…

Ok, keep me updated with how it works. As an extra precaution, you may also want to change that condition to read “when RG item became visible AND videoJSPlayer B is visible”.
@gradylam
Make sure you’ve installed the latest update because I’ve just made all actions check for the player to be ready before then executing any commands against it. If you still see intermittent results then just send us a screenshot of your workflow like shiku… did before as that helps me understand how you’re running stuff.
Keep us updated guys
Ok, I’ll be in contact soon.
Would it be possible to add Playback Restrictions for signed playback policies? Right now it seems like the VideoJS function only has expiration time for the links. But if I’m creating a user generated video hosting platform, limiting playback to my URL (instead of expiration) would be more useful.
Ok, can you give us a bit detail on what you mean? Is it that you want to restrict a URL from loading or something after a specified date? Or you want the play button to become disabled or something?
