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.

#2

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

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.

#5

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.

#6

yeah, we are working on it, it will be there in few days!!

#7

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.

#8

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

#9

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

#10

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:

<?php

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>';
}
?>
