    I uploaded .m4v and .ogv files to host the video file myself. When I play the video, only the thumbnail shows and audio works. Video does not work.

    Hey Jason!

    Could you please take a look and see if you got all the points covered in Section 3.1 Troubleshooting Video Backgrounds in the user guide : http://themenectar.com/docs/salient.pdf

    Thanks

    I have added the following to my .htaccess

    # BEGIN WordPress

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteBase /

    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

    </IfModule>

    AddType video/mp4 mp4

    AddType video/mp4 m4v

    AddType video/ogg ogv

    AddType video/webm webm

    AddType video/webm webmv

    # END WordPress

    Is that the correct placement of the code?
    Am I supposed to upload the .mp4 file in the .m4v slot and the .webm file in the .ogv slot? Was confused about the links that were written in the .pdf about video conversion.

    Hey Tahir,

    The video still seems to have the same issue. I've played the files on my computer and they are playing correctly. The video is replaced by the thumbnail image, but the audio seems to be working without any problems.

    Appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

    Yes. I am able to view the video, although it seems to be lacking any audio content.

    Okay , So to sum it up the video of ours which has no audio seems to be working alright where as the video you have is not ?. This is likely a codec issue. 

    Could you try changing the codec by using online covertors. 

    Thanks
