Ok... the thumbnails do not play the associated video.

1) I looked at the code in Firebug and can't see a second instance of jquery

2) wp_load() is in the theme

3) Switched back to Twenty Eleven theme... still the same problem.

Please... can anyone help?

The URL is: High School Comedy Hypnotist

Notice that the big video plays fine, but none of the thumbnails work.

Thank you for any help!

John

I've tried multiple themes... but I can't get it to work any ANY theme.

Anyone have any ideas of what else I can try?

Anyone... anyone... Bueller... Bueller

I still cannot get the thumbnails to play videos on my site http://highschoolhyp...osis-hypnotist/.

I'm about to bag this plugin. No matter what I do, I can't get this to work.

Anyone know of a product that does the same thing... only works?

Somehow your webserver is mangling some of TubePress's initializing JavaScript. Notice that if you look at your HTML source (around line 236), you'll see something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
   TubePressGallery.init(550657428, 
      themeCSS : ""
);
</script>
but on a working site you'll see something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
   TubePressGallery.init(1131811392,
      {  ajaxPagination:true,
         embeddedHeight:"355",
         embeddedWidth:"575",
         fluidThumbs:true,
         playerLocationName:"normal",
         themeCSS:"",
         autoNext:true
      }
);</script>
The important missing piece from your installation is the opening and closing curly braces around the arguments to init(). I've never seen a problem like this. What's even weirder is that you have two TubePress galleries on your site and one of them has the correct initialization code. In your HTML source around line 288 you have

<script type="text/javascript">
	TubePressGallery.init(1345997305, {
		ajaxPagination : false,
		embeddedHeight : "350",
		embeddedWidth : "425",
		fluidThumbs : false,
		playerLocationName : "popup",
		shortcode : "%5Btubepress%20resultsPerPage%3D%223%22%2C%20views%3D%22%22%2C%20description%3D%221%22%2C%20descriptionLimit%3D%2250%22%2C%20playerLocation%3D%22popup%22%2C%20thumbHeight%3D%22105%22%2C%20thumbWidth%3D%22135%22%2C%20paginationAbove%3D%22%22%2C%20paginationBelow%3D%22%22%2C%20theme%3D%22sidebar%22%2C%20fluidThumbs%3D%22%22%2C%20galleryId%3D%221345997305%22%5D",
		themeCSS : ""
	});
</script>
which corresponds to the TubePress gallery in your sidebar and this looks perfect.

My guess at this point is that the cause is another plugin that is filtering/mangling TubePress's output. Have you tried disabling your plugins one-by-one to see if that's the issue?

Thanks for replying Eric,

I'm not sure what's causing that.

I did actually go in and disable ALL plugins except TubePress... but that didn't work either. And I changed to different themes and that didn't work.

Hmm that's frustrating. Unfortunately I'm at a loss. As I said, this is the first time I've seen this particular problem. If you're able/willing to share credentials to your server I'd be willing to dig in to try and find the problem.

It's another last resort, but have you tried deleting your existing TubePress installation and re-installing a fresh copy?
