    In Chrome, somewhere around the loop point of my background video I will see the video preview image flash. Only in Chrome -- the video seems to loop properly in IE. It's the video right at the top serving as the background to the SoundCloud widgets. These were working a few days ago, I think. Definitely a week ago they were working beautifully. I didn't change anything, the issue just sorta started to happen. I've got the latest version of Chrome installed. Please help! Sincerely, Ariel

    When I remove the video preview image altogether, it flickers black very briefly in Chrome instead. Just another data point I thought I'd mention. And now I seem to be having a quick flash in IE 11 as well. Any ideas what might cause this behavior would be super appreciated! Thank you!

    Hey Ariel! This is indeed a bug that the latest Chrome brought ( I haven't heard reports of this from IE11, but don't doubt it). To sort it, open up /nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/vc_row.php and change this line: 

    $poster_markup = (!empty($video_image)) ? 'poster="'.$video_image_src.'"' : null ;
    into this: 
     
$poster_markup = null;
    Cheers :)
