Is there a similar example that we can see? hidden link
What is the link to your site? hidden link
Followed everything I can find. Tried to use the video shortcode many different ways and it doesn't work (just shows text). Currently the video is shown as a link which requires people to download to view it. I want to show it as an embded object on the page.
It seems WMV needs to be processed before working on WordPress:
hidden link > How to Embed a WMV Video in WordPress
It says there WMV is a Windows Media Video file compressed with Microsoft’s video compression formats. This format is normally used in Windows to store videos on your computer. Since WMV is not an HTML5 compatible video format, it’s not possible to play this type of video file in a modern browser.
Hence you should also not be ably outputting this video in any native WordPress page or post, even without Layout.
Can you confirm this?
Note that Layouts also offers Text Editors, where you can paste URLs or another embed code which might be helpful since the Image Cell is a hardcoded image and the YouTube Video Cell is only for that (hardcoded YouTube videos).
Otherwise, you can use the Embedded Media Field in Types, however, note that if the browser can't play the file, then neither could Toolset
I'd suggest moving to another file format or consider uploading the Videos to YouTube and use their URL or embed codes, depending on your needs.
