Problems with background video

@DrNinjamonkey please use this topic to reply. Don’t flood the documentation topic with non-related posts.

Fair enough. Not sure where I go from here then. If you have any suggestions I’d love to hear them - I dont really want to carry on knowing something is probably broken.

Sorry, will post here.

Do you have any suggestions of things i should check? I do feel like I have been battling since getting going - when i load my pages into chrome I often get “application already running” popup that i have to tab away from to dismiss. Something is obviously broken but i have no idea what!

Well this message appears when you have the app connect js file included more than once on your pages.
I really don’t know what could be wrong on your server/pages/setup. It could be many things. If you are following the docs, which explain step by step how to do things you shouldn’t have any issues.

Thanks - that fixed the application already running issue. I had it in there about 40 times, no clue how that happened!

I think i need to start again and maybe get some help with my server set-up etc. Something is obviously broken and it doesnt make sense to keep working through tutorials if im just going to have to pester people in the forums when things break. Thanks for your support.

Quick question as i try to get to the bottom of this. I have the file “Up.mp4” inside my main root (not sure if thats the correct term):

C:\wamp64\www\name-dir-target

This works. A PHP file inside C:\wamp64\www\name-dir-target\Admin has the link for the background video set to …/Up.mp4 and it works fine.

However when I go to my index file which is in the same folder as the video (C:\wamp64\www\name-dir-target) if i click the explorer to select the background video, the file is not there. Can a file only be used once or is this an indication of a different problem?

Just wanted to let you know that i got to the bottom of this - my images were (as you suspected) in the wrong place.

I misunderstood when you said root - I got confused between my target and my project folder. I still don’t 100% know the difference to be honest but now i understand - put files in project folder, use in wappler, publish, save, open in browser.
