having 3 videos on a page

[edHiggs]

So when I try adding 3 videos on a page, when looking on the localhost it only loads one video and nothing else on the page (text and images). This also occurs sometimes with 2 videos on a page.

So it ends up looking like this

Dunno if useful but inspecting the page shows this

It does find the other images though

Im using this to embed the video - let me know if I'm doing something wrong.

Sorry if lots of stuff is unnecessary or missing, just trying to be helpful :)

I think you should use absolute path. It's not convenient for me, too.

[edHiggs]

Thanks, just tried with absolute paths, but still experiencing the same

[upupming]

Could you please show me your elements tab on Chrome. Maybe you use the wrong absolute path.

[edHiggs]

Does it matter if just on localhost atm?

[upupming]

It should be okay to use localhost to serve videos. How about open the video link in a new tab, is it hosted normally?

[edHiggs]

I’ve not done anything to host it, its all docsify. I have a folder with the vids and the path is the relative path from the markdown to the video. I can open the video in another tab though.

[upupming]

I mean that you have to place your video under your docsify project folder.

For example, your project is something like:

- /
- README.md
+ Videos
  - demo.mp4

Then after you run docsify serve ., you will be able to access the video at localhost:3000/Videos/demo.mp4. Otherwise, you have to use file:///... path.

• update:

Now that you can access the video in another tab, so it's strange that you cannot play the video on the docsify page, I will try it out.

Yh i did that and it works fine as long as there is only one on the page. Thank you for helping.

Three videos is okay on my side:

[edHiggs]

hmm thats interesting, what else do u think it could be? I basically can comment out each of my vids in any order but as long as there is one and only one I see the rest of the content.

[upupming]

I'm not quite sure why you cannot have more than 1 video on any page. What version of docsify are you using? How about updating to the latest?

This is my test project:

test.zip

You can try it out, too. Let me know if you have any problems.

[edHiggs]

So i found a solution. For your videos you did this

whereas mine were just this

Which worked with 2 on a page but not 3. Thank you very much
