VINE videos are not playing

Any popular video service like Vine or YouTube has its own proprietary player that WordPress can embed using oEmbed without the use of a plugin. My plugin doesn’t override those existing players and isn’t designed to work with Vine. You should be able to embed a Vine video without the [KGVID] shortcode.

Yeah I can but I was hoping to embed the Vine so that the hover elements don’t appear to make the site cleaner. If I used the source link that you can get using the inspector and paste that link within the shortcode then it works fine but it’s definitely a hassle to do so. I’m guessing that would require writing custom code :\

For example: [KGVID]https://v.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/7BA62676311199504330357657600_3555d5b1282.2.1.6329375472057755539.mp4[/KGVID]

Thanks for super quick response!

Embedding the source mp4 file of a VIne video directly removes attribution to the author of the video. It’s very important to me that people who make and publish videos retain credit for their work. If I automated the removal of the Vine player elements, it would be too easy for someone to build a site essentially pirating Vine videos. I have no interest in facilitating that.

Understood. The thing is the videos would still get credit just outside of the container, beneath the video in a more organized fashion by using the API.

Sure, you can do that on your site, but I do not trust that everyone else would be as honest. I’ve seen too many people using my plugin to do bad things.
