Video is not playing in product page

Topic summary

Issue: On the linked product page, clicking the video thumbnail results in a blank white area instead of playback.

Suspected causes and checks suggested:

  • Video format: Ensure it’s a Shopify-supported format (e.g., MP4).
  • Theme code: Verify the product media/video embed logic isn’t missing or broken. “Theme code” refers to the template files controlling product media rendering.
  • App conflicts: Temporarily disable third‑party apps that modify product media to test for conflicts.
  • Browser/cache: Clear cache or test in an incognito window.
  • Video source: If using YouTube/Vimeo, confirm the embed link is correct and accessible.

Additional observation: Another participant notes the theme outputs nothing for the video, implying a template/rendering issue. They recommend contacting the theme’s support.

Status: No confirmed fix yet; the issue remains open. Next steps center on verifying video format/source, isolating app conflicts, and inspecting or escalating the theme’s video rendering code to theme support.
