Video PopUp / pretty photo doesn't work

  ok to be more specific:

  
  

  I am trying to open a video popup from a Zoom Box item. I am working with Muffin Builder.

  
  

  In the Zoom Box properties I paste the link to my mp4 media files, which I have uploaded into my site media gallery.

  
  

  In Link | Target I chose "Lightbox (image or embed video)"

  (prettyphoto doesn't show as an option)

  
  

  When I click on the Zoom Box on my page, after a short loading time an error occurs, saying the the image can not be found, make sure path is correct etc...

  
  

  It works perfectly fine when using a Youtube link - which I don't want. I want to play a video directly from my site. 

  
  

  Is it a player issue maybe?

  Ok, got it. However, pretty photo does not work with self hosted videos unfortunately what was explained in every video item. Pretty photo works only with embed videos (YT and Vimeo). Please check the following screenshots where this was clearly marked:

  Thanks! 

  But is there any other way to play self hosted videos in a popup? This doesn't sound like a crazy thought to me, so I guess there is a solution to that?

  Sorry but it's not possible. If you look at [Links visible only for registered users] you will realize that the prettyphoto library we use, does not allow to display self hosted videos.

  Yes, exactly, we do not have any solution to display self-hosted videos in popup.

  Hi,

  
  

  In the Zoom Box properties I paste the link from Youtube and doesn't works! I can't watch video, only show the lightbox without video.

  
  

  In Link | Target I chose "Lightbox (image or embed video)"

  
  

  I'm use WordPress 4.7.5 and the last version of BeTheme

  Hi,
  This is how I set it up, [Links visible only for registered users]
  And it works, see: [Links visible only for registered users]
  Please try to disable all plugins.
  Also make sure that you did not disable lightbox in theme options>plugins&addons,

  thanks
