Video Won't Play

[radrogue1]

For my code, I want to play a video using the video-button-response plugin. This is the way that I am calling the plugin:

var video_instructions = { type: 'video-button-response', stimulus: "/static/video/instructional_video.mp4", choices: ["Yes", "No"], prompt: 'Did you understand the instructions?', response_allowed_while_playing: false, autoplay: true, }

While the buttons appear, the video does not at all, even though the code claims to have preloaded the video. When I inspect the element, and look specifically at the video this is what the html output of this code is:

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this issue! Thanks

Hi @radrogue1 ,

The stimulus parameter for the video plugins should be an array (see docs here). This is because <video> elements in HTML allow for multiple source files to be specified so that if one kind of video files type can't be played on a particular browser a different one can be used instead.
