autoplay="true" does not autoplay

  • Shortcode with autoplay=”true” included does not auto play.

    WordPress version 4.2, Easy Video Player 1.0.7
    At first I thought it was because I was using the shortcode in the theme with the echo do_shortcode but I have tested this in a normal post.

    If I have a video shortcode with autoplay=”true” it does not auto play, and there’s no controls to make it play. Leaving autoplay=”true” out of the code/shortcode and the player works grand – although it does have to be started automatically. I am using this with a mp4 video, in a reveal modal – so the video needs to auto-play once the modal is shown.

    Hi, Thanks for replying so quickly.
    The site is currently being developed, so I had to throw it up on a dev server.
    If you go to https://graphicandweb.com/devs/lmb/ and click the jpeg with the player icon to the top right of the content, it will open the modal where the video needs to be.
    I have also created a dummy page for testing the shortcode – https://graphicandweb.com/devs/lmb/home-video/ when you go to that page you will see the video starts to loads, and plays for a split-second but then stops.
    The shortcode I am using is
    [evp_embed_video url="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/lovemybunch/video/lmb-bg-mp4.mp4" autoplay="true" width="1000" ratio="0.5625"]

    Hello,
    I am having the same issues, when I set the autoplay="true" the video does not play. Is there any work around this?

    @wpni, I can’t play the video or do anything with it. It’s like the whole player is not responsive. Can you please switch to a default WordPress theme (e.g. Twenty 15, 14 or 13) and see how it goes?

    @naa986 Changing themes to TwentyTwelve, TwentyThirteen, TwentyFourteen or TwentyFifteen makes no difference, still the same issue.
    I have left the dev site set to TwentyFifteen for de-bugging.

    @wpni, I don’t think I will be able to troubleshoot this. There is no error on the front end.
