I noticed that my Video playlist feature in Web plus x8 is no longer working.
The list dialog shows "error 404 not found" see attachments.

Is there a reason? And is there an easy alternative available to embed youtube videos and video play list in my web page?

Hi all:
Its been some time and I have not received any replies although over 50 people have read the post. I guest that mean it is an unknown problem. When I click the "test" it says connection successful. So I don't understand why I am getting the error "Opened Request Failed".

having a strange problem when I try to publish and update to my site.
Suddenly I get an error notice "there was an error opening remote file index.html for writing" (Open Request failed).
This have never happened before so I don't have a clue what is causing it. Any help would be
appreciated.  Thanks

Hi All:
I was working in a layout that I have been using forever, and while working I accidentally hit restore default settings, and lost my layout. Now all of my screen has everything (all of the tools and options in a different place. Is there a way that I can undo this and put things back to the way they just were?
Now my Video Preview is on the bottom and my Audio video tracks are on top. And I want them reversed.

"It sounds like you are trying to access "HTML Source" on the Master page which will show it as inactive. You need to access it on a normal page not the master. then follow the instructions/video"

THANKS YOU SOOOO MUCH. That makes since. Will Follow through now.
Last Question on this:
I just need to know if this means that I will have to do so for each page of my site to have the animation on the background of all pages?
My desire is to have one animation on the background of all of my site pages. If I can only do this by putting it on each page separately, that would slow down my site. So if that is the case, is there some kind of plug in that I can use to install the animation on my master page so that it shows on all pages? My master page size is 1024 x 3000.

I know you all are busy and probably tired of me. But I just need an answer to the below question. Or if you can refer me to someone who may be able to assist me, that would be fine. Thanks

The "HTML Source" is still inactive when I use right click "View" drop down. I don't know why or how to access 'HTML Source" to proceed. When I try to access the HTML Source by left clicking "View" the "Page HTML Source" is also not active. I need to know why, and if there is a way to access "HTML Source" to proceed. Or if there is another way to proceed.

The video is amazing. I just have one issue. The HTML Source is still inactive when I use "View" drop down. I don't know why or how to access HTML Source to proceed. When I try to access the HTML Source by left clicking "View" the "Page HTML Source" is also not active. I need to know why and if there is a way to access HTML Source to proceed. Or if there is another way to proceed.

Thanks so much TomH, and Alfred and Joe. I will follow the video.

Hi Joe and Alfred: Thank you for your patience.

You provided me with the code but I could not follow the instructions because HTML Source is not active it’s greyed out.
I said:
“I have the code provided, you said copy it and right-click the page, go to view and then HTML SOURCE. But Html Source is greyed out so I can proceed to past the code there.

You said “HTML source - yes much of it is greyed out but you add code to the white areas as in 'page body start' (white background, green text). Do you see that or is that greyed out?”

Sorry, I don’t understand, how do I add the code to the white area-page body? Now sure what this means.
Are you saying instead of dong “view, HTML Source”, that I should copy the code and then go to "insert", "HTML Fragment" and then click in the white area of the master page for the HTML Source dialog box to open? I can to that, but there are two sections there, Header  and body. In which do I past the code. in which do I paste it?

You also said:
“To this end I renamed your file to motionvid.mp4 and loaded it into the attached file. I pasted the HTML code fragment to the master page, and the video code fragment to <!--Master A Body Start-->”
I don’t understand what this means, I know how to paste html code in master page, but I don’t understand- “and the video code fragment to  <!--Master A Body Start-->” Are you saying that the Motionvid.mp4 should be placed in the body section of the HTML Source dialogue?

You said:
“In the demo file source do you see what is in the image below? To do that in your file follow the instructions to copy and then to paste place your cursor at the right tip of the green arrow but in the white area and hit enter a couple of times. Click in the space you have just made, right click, paste.”

If you are referring to the HTML Source dialogue box, there are 4 right arrow, see attachment
Which do I paste to?
When you are as smart as you guys on this, it is easy to assume someone like me understands your communication but I confess I am not there yet. Please forgive me.

Thanks Joe:
I would like to try option 1, I just need instructions for “dummies” as they say.
I have the code provided, you said copy it and right click the page, go to view and then HTML SOURCE. But Html Source is greyed out so I can proceed to past the code there.
You said “HTML source - yes much of it is greyed out but you add code to the white areas as in 'page body start' (white background, green text). Do you see that or is that greyed out?”
Sorry, I don’t understand how do I add the code to the white area-page body? Now sure what this means.

Thank you so much for your patience with me.
It seems that I am unable to understand your instructions. But if you are also saying that if the master page is long, (and mines is very long), putting the video clip on it won't work.

Then I should ask, do you know how I can put an animated video clip on a long master page that will fill it and look normal, and not distorted? Is there a software I can use?  Or do I have to find a video clip that is the same dimensions as my long master page.
If that can't be done, are you saying that the only thing I can do is use a solid color for the master page background?

What can I do to create a nice background for the site. Of must it just be solid color.

Hi Joe: Yes I did download your file but as I followed your steps, the HTML Source was not active (see below) And I did not understand you "to scroll the video with the page comment. (see below) Thanks.

"Copy the following and right Click the page > View > HTML Source. "

(I right clicked and did view but the "HTML Source" is not active it is greyed out.)

"To scroll the video with the page,"

(not sure what this means, since I want the video to fill the page)

GB as you can see from the attachments, there is no edit option below my post. only add image to post, submit and preview.

CORRECTION, I see it now, it is available after I post not during. So I am uploading the single title video file that I want to put in my master page to make it the animated background for my site. Please give me the steps.

Joe said: To this end I renamed your file to motionvid.mp4 (done) and loaded it into the attached file (???). I pasted the HTML code fragment to the master page, and the video code fragment to

<!--Master A Body Start--> (????) Sorry but this is not clear to me. apparently I am not as informed and need clearer detailed steps.

"If it's only .99Mb can you upload it with your next post? Use the attachments, browse button and add file buttons located above the submit reply button."

This option only allows for images not video files.

Copy the following and right Click the page > View > HTML Source.
<video playsinline autoplay muted loop id="bgvid">
           <source src="hologram.mp4" type="video/mp4">
        </video>

Hi Alfred, when I right click, view the HTML Source is not active, it is greyed out.

The Video is an MP4 file. the name is "motion background 1097827033"
size: 0.99MB
Length:00:00:07
I don't see and attach option. Only add image to post

"Change video source ( hologram.mp4) to your video id's"
Joe How do I do this? The video is an mp4 video.
Sorry but I am not as savvy in this kind of thing that you are. Kid gloves please.
The video size is 0.99MB
LENGTH:00:00:07
HIGHT: 480 WIDTH: 852
FILE NAME: Motion background 1097827033(1)
SITE MASTER PAGE IS: HIGHT 6000 WIDTH: 1024

Not sure if you need any more detail. Let me know if you do.
Thank you so much.

Hi Serif family, I have a good question for you. hope someone has the answer.
How do I add an animated video clip as website background to my master page
so that is shows on all of my site pages. It is a very short clip and I want it to loop
so that my background will be animated.
But it has to be adjustable to to fit full page from below my navigation bar to bottom of page. Is there a way to do this?

CORRECT Thank you so sorry. will head over to Webplus

Hey Serif Family:
Here is a good one for you.

is there a way within Web_plus x8 to turn off the auto play of embedded links?
Rumble has an auto play in their videos that I don't want showing up in my embedded Rumble linked videos on my site page.
If not, it there a way to turn off auto play within my Rumble account so that other videos will not auto play after I watch my video?

Hi Joe:
I tried to post a reply including the codes you requested, but I got this error message:
"Warning! The following errors must be corrected before your message can be posted:
"b" was opened within itself, this is not allowed"

Even when I tried to add the codes as attachments of screen shots I get the error and it won't post for some reason.
