Can I use magnific-popup to display an MP4 video?

Question

I would like to use magnifico-popup to display a locally hosted mp4 file.

Do I need to define an iframe pattern for this or is there a simpler option.

Many thanks for your thoughts

Answer 1

You'll need to integrate some third-party video player, for example http://mediaelementjs.com/

I'd recommend to use inline type of popup, as it allows you to open in popup any HTML code. http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/documentation.html#inline-type

Answer 2

You can use the type of content - iframe to open MP4 video:

<a class="mfp-iframe" href="MP4_VIDEO_PATH">Open MP4 video in iframe</a>
