Impacted plugin

VideoPress

Quick summary

When a VideoPress block is converted to regular video, the block crashes, showing this message:

This block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed.

Kapture.2024-09-17.at.10.24.41.mp4

Steps to reproduce

  1. Upload a video as a VideoPress block or convert a regular video block to VideoPress
  2. Convert the block back to regular video
  3. Notice how the block breaks and shows this message This block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed.

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

It should be possible to go back and forth between the to blocks. If this is not possible for technical reasons, The VideoPress block should not offer the option to convert back to regular video to avoid this error.

What actually happened

The block crashes.

Impact

All

Available workarounds?

Yes, easy to implement

If the above answer is "Yes...", outline the workaround.

The crashed video block CAN be converted back into a VideoPress block but the scenarios is still confusing to users.
