This is a theme, ce_newsite, you created?
nah. another one. but yeh i made the theme.
dunno where you got that 🙂 ?
I’m talking about the default WordPress HTML5 video embed player.
tested in twenty fourteen theme and still doesn’t work for me.
I got that from your source code. It works in twenty fourteen?
nope.
in both my theme and twenty fourteen the video embeds and player appears, just doesn’t loop or auto play. is this correct?
loop="on" autoplay="on"
no one got anything useful to suggest? :/ aaw.
Change loop="on" autoplay="on" to loop="true" autoplay="true"
hmm nice idea, thanks, but no joy. it didn’t work.
the codex says it should be “on” too…
tried adding preload=”auto” as well but no difference.
… perhaps it’s a video format thing?
i’ll maybe try that.
Must be the format. Will this play in a browser with the correct site?
[video src="http://mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/promo-video.m4v" /]
yes it plays if i press play on the controller.
just tried webm format too – autoplay and loop still don’t work so seems not to be the format because. 🙁
ok … i’ll try another website all together!
will report back soon.
Wham! it worked on another site. so it’s site specific.
[video webm="http://myothersite.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/promo-video.webmhd.webm" loop="on" autoplay="on"][/video]
so if i paste the embed code from my other site (site B) into this site it still auto plays and loops. Problem is, if i change the URL to the same video file on site A it won’t autoplay/loop.
could this be a server setting for streaming media? server stuff is out of my depth.
yes it plays if i press play on the controller.
I wanted to know if it plays from the url like this does http://test.savethecolors.com/wp-content/uploads/1230669_415802615190928_616920211_n.mp4
aaah, ok well in chrome it just downloads/plays the file. BUT –> you helped. thanks.
anyways seems to be working now: here’s the deal.
loop="on" autoplay="on" needs to go after the file url.
At my test site I had loop and autoplay before the url and it worked for me. I am glad it is now working for you. What ever works!
