Ok, so I've been fighting with this for a day now. I know this is maybe out of scope for this forum, but will try anyway.
I first ordered my hosting and got SSL installed. No problem. It's working fine. A little too fine, apparently. I discovered that I was not able to embed any videos, and after some researching as to why - it turns out it was because https pages were blocking access to embedded http resources. Ok, I understood that. But wait, why am I also not able to embed https video sources?
So here is what I've done. I made a test html page in my web root and tried placing the videos there and accessed it with https. They work just fine. But they refuse to work when embedded within the actual website. I've even tried disabling SSL and loaded the forum as standard http, and they STILL won't load. But they load just fine on my test page, and also seem to load fine when I enter the post to edit it.
I don't get it!
Any ideas here? If you want links to see, then I can give a link to a test forum post and the test html page.
