 * Hi there. I have an uploaded video to my wordpress host, and tried embedding 
   the video into the page using this shortcode: [su_video url=”[http://www.stuarthallmemorial.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/SHFoundation.mp4″%5D](http://www.stuarthallmemorial.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/SHFoundation.mp4″%5D)
 * [http://www.stuarthallmemorial.org/test-video-2/](http://www.stuarthallmemorial.org/test-video-2/)
 * However, the video isn’t playing at all – on any browsers. Is this a known bug?
   Is there something I can do about it? Sorry, but I can’t host the video on Youtube
   or Vimeo due to infringing copyright claims (it’s music played at a memorial 
   and copyright couldn’t be filed in time for the recording).
 * Can anyone see the problem I’m having and have any idea how to overcome it?
 * Thanks – Mark
