So sorry to say this does not fix all the video playback issues in the gallery.

RESOLVED: Click video in gallery, lightbox opens. Click play on video. Video plays. Click close box, Lightbox closes and video/sound stop.

OUTSTANDING ISSUE: Click video in gallery, lightbox opens. Click play on video 1. Video 1 begins playing. Use nav arrow to advance to next video (Video 2). Video 1 sound (and video) continues playing. Click Video 2. Video 2 begins playing — as Video 1 still continues to play. Toggle back and forth with l/r nav arrows and both videos are playing at the same time.

Confirmed loading in a new gallery component, and in both Chrome and Safari. As always, le tme know if I can help supply more details or screen caps.

Best, Dan
