 * I posted in support forums on site, but wasn’t sure if I was suppose to ask here:
 * 1. We have plugin installed here (http, non secure site):
    [http://visionrise.net/](http://visionrise.net/)
 * This video works great on desktop and smart phone.
 * 2. We have plugin installed here, with same settings and same video, with the
   exception it is on a secure site (https, using SSL):
    [https://www.lifeleap.org/grow/videotest/](https://www.lifeleap.org/grow/videotest/)
 * The video plays great on a desktop, but on a smart phone (Samsung s3), we get
   this error message when attempting to play video:
 * “Sorry, this video cannot be played”
 * Thank you for any suggestions in helping me to get this issue resolved.

 * Handbrake, with “web optimized” setting enabled. Has worked great on all desktops
   and mobiles, until we made site secure (with SSL).

 * Just to make sure, I encoded the mp4 again through HandBrake, with “web optimized”
   setting enabled.
 * Uploaded video to site and it’s on testpage (link above) now.
 * Still doesn’t work on secure page (SSL).
 * We have a GlobalSign certificate, which is known to be a good SSL option (not
   a junk SSL).
 * Thanks for any suggestions on getting this fixed.

 * In the file jwplayermodule.php, right at the top, is a place where you can load
   jwplayer js from, you can point to a SSL version of the player here.

 * Thanks for the help.
 * In jwplayermodule.php, I did point to the SSL version. I also tried pointing 
   it to a JW player installed on a directory in our site:
 * `define("JWP6_PLAYER_LOCATION", "https://www.lifeleap.org/jwplayer/jwplayer.js");`
 * Still getting same error: Cannot Play Video – Sorry, this video cannot be played.
 * Any ideas on what I can do to get it to work?
 * Thanks for any help.

 * Ok, so then, I guess, it doesn’t have to do with the player being on non SSL.
   Are there any differences between your two web servers (other than SSL)?

 * No difference between servers – they are the same.
 * Also, the video itself plays fine in Flowplayer WP Plugin, even with SSL.
 * But I prefer JW PLayer if at all possible.

 * That is weird. Have you tried to embed this particular video with just an HTML5
   <video> tag to see if the issues still happen with the SSL server and the Samsung
   Galaxy S3?
