Hey everyone. I downloaded and have everything configured for the video module and colorbox module. the colorbox module is working with a content type with images but colorbox isnt working with a content type with a video field. I dont see colorbox at all in the display page for the content type. can anyone please help? :)

What version of the video module are you using? I believe it is only the 6.x-4.0 version that has built in support for Colorbox.

Video 6.x-4.x-dev
jQuery Update 6.x-2.0-alpha1
SWF Tools 6.x-2.5
Colorbox 6.x-1.x-dev

Project: Colorbox » Video
Version: 6.x-1.x-dev » 6.x-4.x-dev
Component: Miscellaneous » Code
Priority: Major » Normal

It looks like the Colorbox integration code is commented out at the moment in Video module version 6.x-4.0. Maybe it is not ready yet?

Moving this over to the Video module issue queue.

I too am having this problem. Sucks that Colorbox is advertised as being compatible with the Video Module, yet the Video Module doesn't work with Colorbox at all.

I have now removed Video module from the list on Colorbox project page. I was to quick to add it there, sorry about that. Colorbox support in Video module 6.x-4.0 is in the works but not ready yet.

I noticed that the video module doesn't work with Thickbox, Lightbox or Shadowbox either. Is there any "box" that the video module is compatible with? Thanks.

Would a donation help get colorbox working with the video module? my client is willing to help out with money.

What is the status on this? Is there anything that would help move it along?

I'm thinking that this is a video module feature. As noted I was not able to get the video module to work with thickbox or shadowbox either. Perhaps the thread title should be renamed to explain this.

I needed multiple movie thumbnails with descriptions on a single node with Lightbox2 support. I couldn't get it to work using the Video module 6.x-4.2 and SWF Tools 6.x-3.0-beta5.
I ended up using Views, ImageCache and some template files. I suppose you could get colorbox working this same way:

Create a movies content type with a CCK Video Field (with manual thumbnails and description). Name this field movie. Exclude the field on the Display page.

Create a page view with Views that takes the movie fid as argument. Under fields add the movie. Under page settings, set the path to moviebox.
Create a page-moviebox.tpl.php file that only prints $content in the body.

Create a node-movies.tpl.php file in the template directory. I used this code to loop through the movies and print the description, lightbox link and ImageCache thumbnail:

foreach($node->field_movie as $movie){
  $dimensions = explode("x",  $movie['data']['player_dimensions']);
  print '<div class="field-item ">' .
    '<div class="item-title">' .    $movie['data']['description']  . '</div>' . 
    '<a href="' . base_path() . 'moviebox/' .  $movie['fid']  . '" rel="lightframe[video|width:' . $dimensions[0] . 'px; height:' . $dimensions[1] . 'px;]">' .
    theme('imagecache', "thumbnail-imagecache-preset", $movie['data']['video_thumb'], "") .
    '</a>' .
    '</div>';
}
