Not getting background video

Hello,

Can you provide more information about your BigVideo installation?
Which Theme and what versions of jQuery and VideoJS you using on your site?
May be you have any errors messages in watchdog or browser console?

Thank you.

hello,

I'm having the same problem. Using Bootstrap 3 (with jQuery 1.10).
No error messages in watchdog or elsewhere.
Tried link and file upload.
I can't see the .js files loaded.

Hello,

Please install last dev version. Scripts attachment place was changed. Maybe this will help.
I don't see any problems on my site with Bootstrap 3 and jQuery 1.10. Scripts and video are loaded correctly.

I'm also having trouble getting the background video to play after following all steps.

In the console i get the following error:
TypeError: undefined is not a constructor (evaluating: 'new $.BigVideo()') (bigvideo.js:13)

EDIT: I'm also using the alpha1 version... switching to dev now...
EDIT: Unfortunately... no luck here...

Hello Peter,

Looks like your installation not fully complete.
Please make sure that you have installed and loaded all requirements from Readme file (do not forget to check the correct files location):
- Video.JS 3.x module (with 4.x library)
- BigVideo library
- jQuery >= 1.7
- Imagesloaded library

Same error: undefined is not a function (bigvideo.js:13)
var BV = new $.BigVideo();

- Video.JS 3.x module (with 4.x library)
- BigVideo library
- jQuery >= 1.7
- Imagesloaded library

The library doesn't get loaded, as the version detection fails. The module checks the bower.json file in the library for a version, but there is no version in there. If you remove bower.json file, it works. Better would be to update the version detection, to not search in the bower.json file.

But i would recommend to patch the module, as it does not work with the current library if you download it without removing the bower file. The following patch will make the module work;

bigvideo.module > function bigvideo_get_version($library):

replace:

$version = $json->version;
break;

with:

if (property_exists($json, 'version')) {
  $version = $json->version;
  break;
}

Thank you, schrammos. Your comment is very helpful.

Please update module to latest dev version. Issue with version of the library has been fixed.
