Hi there, I am having issue with the initial load of my site.
I want to have a showreel video at the top but at the moment a new user would see a black bar for a few seconds before the video loads and not a full screen one for a few seconds. The video is only 3mb which isn’t bad at all for a showreel!
The video background loads fine on if the Basic settings are applied, but as soon as the recommended one is set then the black bar appears instead of the full screen (as screengrab above).
but based on your description , it’s more like some options caused trouble on Advance preset , please try disable options in Page Optimization one by one , to narrow down which option that is , then we will see what to do next , most likely in JS or CSS tab.
Thanks for getting back to me, so I have been away and have done what you said.
I was hoping that one of the attached bits of js. Preferably backgroundSelfVideo would have been the holy grail and excluding that would have worked.
But sadly not.
I have tried every setting and just don’t know what to do.
It is only 1 second that the user gets dealt with an odd screen, not perfect, but not the end of the world either.
But there must be something that just gets the box that the video should be in, or at least a black screen with the nav in. After all there is a black band there.
