Videos cannot be displayed

    Hi there, I had an issue after updating elementor that no videos (using the video widget) were displayed on my site. This affected both the editor and the frontend. The console printed TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'url') at Video.onInit. But there was an URL saved in my video elements. I deleted all caches, regenerated CSS/JS files, enabled/disabled experiments/features and reinstalled elementor with no success.

    After quite some digging I found out that in the file plugins/elementor/assets/js/video.78c625e89ab767d621c5.bundle.min.js there’s a part this.videoID&&(!e.show_image_overlay||!e.image_overlay.url)). This is causing my issues because apparently e.show_image_overlay is a string (“no” in my case) and not a boolean as expected. This check evaluates to “true”, so it tries to check the URL of the overlay that doesn’t exist. Can be easily fixed by changing this line to this.videoID && (e.show_image_overlay == "no" || !e.image_overlay.url)) instead.

    Is this a general issue or something specific to my site?
