Why is my homepage video constantly loading on debut theme?

Technical Q&A

Hey there,

The reasons is a javascript error that happens during video loading. Make a copy of your currently live theme, locate your theme.js.liquid file and find a snippet similar to this one:

  function getVideoOptions(evt) {
    return videos[evt.target.h.id];
  }

adjust it to read:

  function getVideoOptions(evt) {
    return videos[evt.target.a.id];
  }

notice the exchange of .h. with .a.
