Hi,

I've checked this element, the current version of Soledad only supports video from Youtube/Vimeo.

We'll improve this element and add local video support in the future theme update.

PenciDesign.

Hello,

I use custom Penci Slider. When I add photos, everything works perfectly fine. However, I tried to add a video as an element of the slider (I can choose that option from gui configurator). I added my video (4 seconds, 8Mb, mp4) to the library, copied URL and inserted it as a 'Background video url'. It does not work, grey background of that element of the slider.

EDIT: I moved the video from my library to Youtube, then copied ytURL. It works but the responsiveness is very poor. Video needs time to load and lags. Is there a chance to improve this solution? How it should be done properly?

Appreciate any help.
