Hi there, I have the most updated version of the x theme and cornerstone installed. I can’t get a self hosted mp4 video to play though. I am able to embed it from youtube, but I really want the autoplay to be enabled and it doesn’t look like that’s an option with the embedded video.

What information do I need to get to you so you can check where the bug is and why my video is not playing?

Thanks,

Scott

Hi There,

Would you mind sharing the link of your hosted video, so we can take a closer look?

You can autoplay a YouTube embedded video by adding parameter autoplay=1 to the URL.

e.g.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/8fTIxv_i54c

update to

https://www.youtube.com/embed/8fTIxv_i54c?autoplay=1

Thanks.

Here’s what I have input for the code in the embedded video block (see attached screen shot). Video still not autoplaying.

Here’s the link of my hosted video – http://gocatalystsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Catalyst-Sports-Brand-Video-Low-Res.mp4

Hi There,

Your hosted video is auto playing on my dev site. Please do a testing for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.

Update your embed code to this:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TAqLpjR7taE?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Thanks.
