I don't know if this is a bug. When I insert an image, then use Media Manager to attach a video to it and set the popup size, when I click on the image the video pops up at the set size, just as it should. But when I insert a video without an image and set the popup size, then click on the video thumbnail, it ignores the popup size and goes to full screen. When I go back into the video setting in Media Manager, the popup settings have been erased.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but because I have a lot of videos on each page, I put "#t=0.5" at the end of the url for the video and set the preload to Metadata, so that the page doesn't take so long to load.

Please post a link to an example.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

On this page, if you scroll down a bit, you'll see a little gold ball near the bottom. Click on it and the video pops up at its correct size.

On this page, at the bottom, you'll see a video called The English letters. Click on it and the video expands to full screen, even though I set it to pop up to the video's actual size: 640x360.

Thanks,
Matt

BTW: Some users have reported that these videos (and not the ones attached to an image) don't expand at all, but when clicked on, just start playing at the thumbnail size. I believe these users are using Chrome (I use Safari and Firefox).

The last one is an embedded video, not a popup.

But when I insert a video without an image and set the popup size, then click on the video thumbnail, it ignores the popup size and goes to full screen.


When creating a popup with the Media Manager, you must select something before opening the Media Manager, such as some text or an image, to apply the popup to.

Also, please consider upgrading to JCE MediaBox 2.1 - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/mediabox

So, the video can't popup from its own thumbnail poster? I would have to create a separate jpeg of the opening screen for every video? No way around that? I have hundreds of videos on the site -- it seems like a great waste of time (not to mention space).

Thanks, I upgraded Mediabox.

In those instances you've not actually created a popup, you've embedded the video.

The video in question also does not have a poster image specified, you are only seeing the first frame of the video.

Ok, well, sounds like I can't do what I'd like to do.

However, a related question. You suggested that I upgrade MediaBox, but now it seems to have lost the popup icon I had set for it and switched to another, generic one, and I can't find where to change it back -- the Popup Icon Path parameter seems to have moved or disappeared. Can you tell me how relink the popup icon that I use?

Thanks,

The new version of MediaBox uses and svg image for the popup icon, which cannot be customized in the same way as the previous icon. You can change the icon to an image of your choice using the following css, added to your template stylehseet:

.wf-icon-zoom-image svg {
    display: none;
}

.wf-icon-zoom-image {
    background: url('path/to/my_image.png') no-repeat bottom right;
}
