Wordpress Anything Slider and Good Ol' IE7

  • The slider stops moving on the second slide (youtube video). The issue seem like the youtube video from what I have read on the forums. My issue is when folks are suggesting the fix, it seems like it is for the stand alone version (non-plugin). Can someone tell me how to fix the plugin?

    During testing I get object doesn't support this property.

    Here is the link www.grayareabrand.com.
  • Hi Cupaball!

    If you look at the video compatibility table on the video demo page, you'll see IE7 doesn't support iframe videos continue & pausing. It's a limitation of the browser and iframe communication. If you switch the video over to the embedded type, it will pause, but then cut out mobile support.

    I don't think there is a shim to fix this either, mainly because of cross-domain issues... but I didn't look very hard.
  • Thanks, Mottie. How do I switch to the embedded type?
  • Hold that thought, let me research it first, then I will ask.
