• This would not play in the current version of Chrome. This is version specific. Apparently, Chrome is working on this policy, but at the moment it will not autoplay videos that have sound. I updated the shortcode to add the parameter muted=”true” and that fixed the problem (I actually wanted it to play muted anyway so this might not be the right solution for you but it’s still good to have that option)

    Here is the updated main mediaelement-js-wp.php file:
