# [Plugin: VideoJS – HTML5 Video Player for WordPress] Mixed content on HTTPS pages

 * You’re hard-coding `http://` instead of generating it dynamically based on the
   current page protocal (see `is_ssl()`) or just using [protocal-relative URLs](http://paulirish.com/2010/the-protocol-relative-url/).
   This causes mixed-content warnings on HTTPS pages.
 *     ```
       <!-- Flash Fallback. Use any flash video player here. Make sure to keep the vjs-flash-fallback class. -->
             <object class="vjs-flash-fallback" width="{$width}" height="{$height}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
               data="http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.1.swf">
               <param name="movie" value="http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.1.swf" />
               <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
               <param name="flashvars" value='config={"playlist":[$flow_player_poster{"url": "$mp4" $flow_player_autoplay $flow_player_preload }]}' />
               {$image_fallback}
             </object>
       ```

 * It looks like releases.flowplayer.org doesn’t have SSL enabled, so you can’t 
   just link to `https://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.1.swf` or `//
   releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.1.swf`. I ended up having to host 
   a local copy of Flowplayer on my server and modifying the plugin to link to it
   instead of the remote copy.

 * The new self-hosting option is working really well, except that one part is left
   out. In Chrome, VideoJS loads an SWF file from the CDN, which causes mixed-content
   warnings on SSL pages. To fix it, you need to do something like this:
 *     ```
       } else { //use the self hosted version
       	echo '
       	<link href="' . plugins_url( 'videojs/video-js.min.css' , __FILE__ ) . '" rel="stylesheet">
       	<script src="' . plugins_url( 'videojs/video.min.js' , __FILE__ ) . '"></script>
       	<script type="text/javascript">
       		VideoJS.options.flash.swf = "'. plugins_url( 'videojs/video-js.swf' , __FILE__ ) .'";
       	</script>
       	';
       }
       ```

 * Thanks for the heads up and fix, I’ll be sure to update this in the next version(
   not sure when that will be yet).

 * Would it be better to use wp_enqueue_script for adding your css/script files 
   as its the corret way to do it in wordpress?
 * wp_deregister_script( ‘jquery’ ); // or another custom added script
    wp_register_script(‘
   jquery’, ‘[http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js&#8217](http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js&#8217););
   wp_enqueue_script(‘myjqueryscript’,’mypluginscript’,array(‘jquery’),’1.7′,false);
   wp_deregister_script( ‘myjqueryscript’ ); // remove the script.
 * Might help not sure…
