The youtube concept don’t work on iPhone and iPad, I guess is not a good idea to implement this to my website, the less content viewable for the audience the less chances of getting the customer.. thought! any other method to show the youtube video with the same concept? thanks

I Have the same problem. I publish my sites to Mobile Me so I can only upload via iWeb, and when I do that it seems to overwrite any changes I may have made in the code. Does anyone else know a way around it?
Cheers
Ben

I am able to get this to work with a variety of files. However, I cannot get it to work with Vimeo. Does anyone know where to pull the vimeo link from?

Thanks!

Can you help, slideshow works fine apart from it starts with the last slide first and you have to click backwards 6of6 to 5of6 to 4of 6 etc. What have I done wrong?

Hey everyone,

I have managed to get this all working on multiple pages on my website (www.talkinglightmedia.com) however it only works on my Mac. When I go to the site on a PC the shadowbox doesn’t work. Anyone have any idea why this might be?

Thanks in advance.

OK – So next time I will fully read the instructions and put the “/v/” in the YouTube URL

Got mp4 files to work fine – when I am using YouTube URL – it takes me to YouTube. I don’t want to leave my page, would like it in a window that returns to my site.

Any suggestions – am sure I missed something

This was a genuinely tremendous post. In theory I’d like to dream up like this also – getting everything and staunch go to make a good peace… but what can I articulate… I tergiversate alot and in no practice appear to fall some element carried out.

my code didn’t post….just delete the “-3.03″

By: Dave

Dave — Thu, 26 May 2011 14:10:04 +0000

People should note if you download the latest Shadowbox - the folder is labeled shadowbox-3.03. In order for the above code to work you need to delete the "-3.03" from the folder name or change the code above to read : Shadowbox.init({ players: ['img', 'html', 'iframe', 'qt', 'wmp', 'swf', 'flv'] });

FOLLOW-ON:
I’m still having troubles with quicktime
But YouTube works GREAT!

Two additional questions:
1. I’d like to link to a couple of other sites with videos (e.g. edutopia, NBC news) but they don’t seem to work – any suggestions on how to find out the key to launching their videos within the webpage?

2. The pages I built work great on my Mac in Safari, Chrome, FIrefox. But when I bring them up on a WIndows machine in Explorer – they don’t work. Same is true of an iPad – (but I may be asking too much)

Any suggestions or help is GREATLY appreciated.

Hi
I’m trying to build some pages with videos. I can get YouTube to play OK – but I can’t get .mov to play – a window opens but I get the “Q” with the question mark?
I’ve made sure the movie is in the resource folder for the page
I have Quiktime Pro on my machine
But no joy

ANy help you can give is appreciated – thanks for the website. It’s great

Hi,

I’m using this to display a group of photos. I have a Menu bar built in flash that is embedded into the site. When the shadowbox appears, the flash menu remains the same and is in front of the shadowbox pictures. Am I just not layering things correctly, or is there another issue with Shadowbox working with flash elements on a page?

Thanks for the tips. I’m working with iWeb ‘08, and I placed the code exactly as it is written in the instructions. For some reason, when I execute the page, it begins to download my videos instead of executing the shadowbox.

What am I doing wrong? I have a thumbnail picture representing my FLV video, and it is hyperlinked to “a file”, which is the FLV video I want to play in the shadowbox. Instead of the shadowbox popping up, the files begin to download…hmmm….

Any suggestions would help. Thank you!!!

Wish this shadowbox code worked with the new CSS buttons you made. Had to disable Shadowbox since it opened the “Watch Movie” YouTube link in a new window and fullscreen. :-( Sad day.

Figured it out. iWeb erases the shadowbox folder anytime you update the site. So wasn’t FF at all. Jason you still rock!

Bummer it was working beautifully in Safari 5.0.4 but then I tested my site with Firefox 4.0.1 and now Shadowbox no worky. QT files simply open in a new page. Anyone have any thoughts?
