Hi! I'm trying to do something very simple but can't seem to get it to work.

I would like to have a simple text link with the word PLAY. When this is clicked, the movieplayer (.mov or .mpg) should popup and play a self-hosted video. So without preview image... just the word play.

Hope anyone here can help!

Thanks - Flo

Hi Flo,

I think you can use the lightbox shortcode with a video for that. You can see a demo of that in the themeforest striking shortcode lightbox page.

I guess you have to create a iframe which loads a html containing the code for the video into the lightbox popup.

Most plugins do use external hosting. http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-video-lightbox-plugin-display-videos-in-a-fancy-lightbox-overlay-2700#!prettyPhoto

but striking can do that of its own so no need for a plugin.

Best regards,

Paul, thanks for your answer and sorry about my late reply.

Could you post a link to the correct page showing the shortcode? I can't seem to find it...

Thanks!
