Wordpress iFrame Help (IE)

Beginners - Learning PHP
#1

Hey guys,
I have a template that is video based and when I link videos to youtube or vimeo its perfectly fine. When I try to use my own hosted video it works fine in all browsers but IE… The browser forces to open windows media player and not within the webpage. The template basically works perfect with a youtube URL but when hosted on my server I need to add a iFrame code to make it play in any browser. My question is it possible to add a code that will force IE not to open it in a player?

Ive also just tried uploading it to the root with the same problem.

Um, you can’t place an mp4 inside an iframe and expect it to work as-is. “iFrames” are for placing webpages into it, not a video “FILE”… So, you should know that links to Youtube are links into their code and video player, not a simple link to an MP4 file.

Have you got HTML 5 going on your site? Have you tried a standard video HTML version? Loosely like this:

Or, you can embed a video player like Youtube does and handle it way. Since you have a site below listed as a WP site,
you can just use their video plugin. Here is a link to it. You download it move it to your server and add a line or two.
Hope that help! https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-video-player/

What seems to be working better to keep the video playing on the site is:

LOL, yep an embedded video is totally different than an iFrame webpage…

Glad you got it working…
