I did a post about mobile view on hero video showing a play button but this has now vanished! (I’m either going crazy….or my 1 beer was stronger than it said!) So I’ve edited my post about the other ( thanks @PeteSharp & @Jerry )
I need to create a hero bloc with an image on mobile, which does not load the video to speed mobile data use, there was a post @flashman did which highlighted this very well - I did all that was asked and @Norm said to remove the smaller breakpoint in the layer tree - which I did and added the poster image, this works to a certain degree - but this has a huge problem too - on loading the home page on Safari - the Hero flashes the Poster Image for a split second and then loads the video…this is not something I can have.
@Norm - your solution on the below link, is there a way to make it so the poster image does not flash in for a second before the home page loads!
Thanks for testing - this is crazy!!! I spent 2hrs with this last night……on wifi and mobile data. My phone & my wife’s (it was my wife that spotted the issue) I found 3 blocs websites that did the same issue & mine did and on my test one.
Just woke up (4.30am) - checked the forum, you guys tested / I just clicked the link & BOOM - the video is playing on mobile.
Now Im either going crazy or something strange is happening!!!
I’m gonna edit my original post now as the post serves no point!!!
Nope! it was 100% real !..lol…i just opened Chrome on my iPhone and there it was - the play button on mobile of the Hero - then all of a sudden it disappeared and the video started to play.
At least i know im not going mad !
But would still like to sort out how to make an image on the mobile view work smoothly and not flash open on the desk top view.
Also would like to know if I did do an image on the mobile view this way - does it disable the video load time on mobile? if not - no point in changing !
Hi @PeteSharp - yeah I have been using that on the original website I am working on, love to use that instead on a pre-loader.
I have applied it to the one im playing with and added some more time and still no good. If you click on the link at the top, it still flashes the mobile image up.
Brilliant !!! - applied this and works perfect !!! Thank you !!! - do you know if this try’s to load the video on mobile in the background though? even if we do not see it?
