Self hosted video with using ACF

In this note I will show how to display self hosted video using WordPress wp_video_shortcode() function. In this example I used ACF fields. The photo below show acf custom fields which I used in my code: 1) field for the video; 2) field for the poster image. Both fields have type File.

// front-page.php
...
   <?php if ($advantage['video']): ?>
                                <div class="video-container">
                                    <button class="video-play-btn" title="Play Video">
                                        <img src="/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Polygon-1.svg" alt="Video Play Button">
                                    </button>

                                    <?php $video = $advantage['video'];

                                    $video_poster = $advantage['poster_image']; // Poster Image Field Name

                                    // Build the Shortcode
                                    $attr = array(
                                        'src' => $video,
                                        'poster' => $video_poster,
                                        'preload' => 'auto',
                                        'height' => 440,
                                        'width' => 790,

                                    );

                                    // Display the Shortcode
                                    echo wp_video_shortcode($attr); ?>

                                </div>
                            <?php endif; ?>

// main.js

/* Video */
  setTimeout(function () {
    checkIfElemExists2();
  }, 200);

  function checkIfElemExists2() {
    if (document.querySelector(".video-play-btn") !== null) {
      var video_container = $(".video-container");

      video_container.on("click", function () {
        $(this).find(".video-play-btn").toggle();
      });

      $(".video-play-btn").on("click", function () {
        var video = this.parentElement.querySelector("video");

        if (video.paused) {
          video.play();
        } else {
          video.pause();
        }
      });
    } else {
      setTimeout(function () {
        checkIfElemExists2();
      }, 200);
    }
  }
