video shortcode not working in wordpress site - wordpress

I want to add mp4 video to my page, but shortcode [video] not workig. I see only string in frontend with:
[video width="640" height="360" mp4="http://localhost:8080/CC/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/movie.mp4"]
Where is the problem ?
Thanks for help.

Try putting the closing shortcode tag [/video] like this
[video width="640" height="360" mp4="http://localhost:8080/CC/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/movie.mp4"][/video]
its shoudnt be a requirement but just in case try it let us know.

You neglected the short-code. You wrote mp4 instead of src
Code corrected:
[video width="640" height="360" src="http://localhost:8080/CC/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/movie.mp4"]

In my case, I was seeing a normal link to the video instead of the video element.
Removing the playsinline attribute from the video tag (which had been added via a PHP filter in my functions.php file) and making sure the video format was correct fixed the issue for me.

WordPress Layer Slider YouTube video embbed

I have using Layer Slider WordPress plugin and added YouTube embed code snippet for showing YouTube video as one slide. i have using a code snippet like below in one layer of this slider,
<iframe width="1400" height="400" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E5ln4uR4TwQ?autoplay=0&rel=0&ecver=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
it's working. but how to set auto play stop option in video.
also tested the below code by placed &autoplay=0 at the end of the ID.
<iframe width="1400" height="400" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E5ln4uR4TwQ&autoplay=0&rel=0&ecver=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Thanks
LayerSlider WP plugin has an option to autoload videos, which can be overriding the autoplay parameter of your embed video.
In the slider you want to put the video, go in the "Slider settings" tab and then choose the "Videos" submenu to enable or disable this option:

Include a dailymotion video in Cornerstone

I have a video on Dailymotion that I'd like to display on my Wordpress website (X-Theme with Cornerstone).
I use a Video Player element and when I paste the URL of the video in the SRC & Poster field no video is being displayed.
I don't know much about this so I am open to any suggestions. (Is there maybe an other element which is more appropriate for this ? )
I chose DailyMotion rather than Youtube because I need an annotation linking to a page from my website.
You need to use Embedded video feature of the x theme to integrate/add the dailymotion video:
Use the following code inside the Embedded video in the embed code section and replace the video ID.
<iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="270"
src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/xwr14q?autoplay=1&mute=1"
allowfullscreen></iframe>

WordPress - AutoPlay iFrame video off required

So I've embedded a video into my WordPress website using the following code
<div class="videoWrapper"><iframe src="http://www.genericwebsitename.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/generic-website-name-goes-in-here...mp4" width="300" height="300"></iframe></div>
I have attempted to add autoplay=0, autoplay=false but nothing seems to be working. It always auto plays.
As you can see, this is not a youtube link, the video file is uploaded to the WordPress site itself and linked via a iFrame tag.
Looking through the forums I cannot seem to find an answer that works.
Instead of iframe use bellow format
You can use video tag source, like this:
<video width="640" height="480" controls="controls" type="video/mp4" preload="none">
<source src="http://example.com/mytestfile.mp4" autostart="false">
Your browser does not support the video tag.

WordPress 3.7 [embed] - not work working

I am having an issue with a plugin that I work on for WordPress. It should embed YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud and more based on the URL provided by the user.
The embed in WP should be very easy like:
[embed width="640" height="480]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpVUIwrNLoo[/embed]
The thing is that this is not working at all.
echo do_shortcode('[embed width="640" height="480]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpVUIwrNLoo[/embed]');
Thank you,
Marius
Why not use wp_oembed_get ?
Your code would be like:
$videourl = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpVUIwrNLoo';
$htmlcode = wp_oembed_get($videourl);
echo $htmlcode;

iframes in Wordpress

I am trying to generate some embeddable iframe code so a user can include the code on a blog to display content I'm planning to deliver. Right now the content I'm trying to deliver is just a website. I am trying to use the following code on a Wordpress blog:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.cnn.com" frameborder="0"></iframe>
However when the page is viewed Wordpress simply outputs a link for "http://www.cnn.com" based on the following html.
http://www.cnn.com
That said, if I use Youtube generated iframe code, the iframe loads fine. For example:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_OBlgSz8sSM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
results in:
<iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='420' height='315' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/_OBlgSz8sSM?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe>
Any idea what Youtube is doing to enable this functionality or more generally how to get my simply iframe to work.
I don't know why you get an anchor instead of the iframe, but I know that google don't want their homepage in iframes. If you would have an iframe with the src http://www.google.com, you would see an empty iframe. Also see this example.
=== UPDATE ===
Wordpress prohibits iframes with few exceptions. Probably you can handle it with shortcodes. Try adding following untested code into the functions.php in your theme.
// [iframe src="www.cnn.com"]
function iframe_func($atts) {
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'src' => 'default'
), $atts));
return '<iframe src="{$src}"></iframe>';
}
add_shortcode('iframe', 'iframe_func');
Now you can add [iframe src="www.cnn.com"] in the article editor in the wordpress admin.
Creating a shortcode is the way I get around this problem. It bypasses the WYSIWYG editor and puts the html in the page.
I would approach it like this.
Add this to your functions.php file:
function add_iframe($atts) {
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'src' => '/'
), $atts));
$theframe = '<iframe src="'.$src.'" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe>';
return $theframe;
}
add_shortcode('iframe', 'add_iframe');
Useage:
Add [iframe src=http://thesiteyouwanttoshow.com] to the content where you want the iframe to show.
If you are loading your own web page within the iframe remember that most hosted solutions will have xFrame options set to SAMEORIGIN, so no matter what you change in Wordpress, the page will still not render as it is being blocked by the target website.
I spent hours with this problem so hopefully if you are having this issue you will the target website as well. If you are hosting a solution on rails the answer I found is here and a website that will definitely load in Wordpress can be found here, so feel free to use that endpoint as a test.
Google uses the X-Frame-Options header (set to SAMEORIGIN) to prevent you from placing it in an iframe. Getting around this would require the user to use a browser that doesn't support X-Frame-Options.
Unfortunately the major search engine sites such as google and yahoo (bing excluded) don't allow for iframe embedding since they offer a plethora of APIs and integration options. So there is really no real way for you to do this. If you are not planning on embedding google as your iframe source then you should be in the clear with the current code that you have in place. Try it out and just change the source to something else - google will not show up in its place. If you want a search engine there unfortunately it is with horror that I say that bing is the only one that works.
Hope this helps!
So in recap - Google does not embed in iframe, but other content that you produce should based on your coding:
example:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.uncrate.com" frameborder="0"></iframe>

The Anchor that you get is a result of the xFrame option. When it connects to the google servers the servers kick back a cute response hinting that you should link to them instead of iframe.
I would create a WordPress short_code that would insert your iFrame in the output. I think by adding the iFrame code directly in the post box wordpress is changing it.
