I am working on a music site for a client (in Wordpress), and they would like the 'Featured Youtube video' that will display on the homepage to autoplay when the page loads. I'm looking for a solution that wouldn't require client to edit the code when they paste the embedding code for Youtube. Is there a way I can hard code this to my template files?
Most solutions out there are about editing the code to enable autoplay. Any ideas?
You could manipulate the html using jQuery, you would target the element and insert the html required to autoplay, this way it can be inserted each time the page loads.
W3Schools and this JQuery link should get you going.

Ive got a very basic WordPress website using the new 2017 theme and I'm trying to embed a simple video. The video is on OneDrive, but it should be the same as YouTube or any other source, and I can play the video fine in a plain HTML page.
When I insert the following HTML iframe in my post:
<iframe src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=3F3E866DF352275A&resid=3F3E866DF352275A%21106&authkey=ADg-86mHmhzI3mw" width="320" height="180" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It shows a small blank frame for a few seconds when I preview the post, then it jumps to the onedrive embedded link showing the video full screen, so you cant see the post.
I tried using a plugin too and that didn't work either, somehow it had the same problem. I was using FV player which seems to be very popular but when I try to embed this video it says there "Video Issues". I know there's nothing wrong with the video because, again, I can insert this iframe in a plain HTML page and it works no problem. Only when I embed the iframe in a wordpress post does it pop out into the onedrive link and go full screen.
Any suggestions? This should just work and I don't know what I'm missing.

replace the embed with download. and use normal video tag instead of iframe.

I'd like to have a video banner on my WordPress site pages. I saw the following site (http://pictoryproductions.com/) and they have exactly what I would like to do on my site. However, I'm not sure what plugin they used to accomplish this. Could anyone just point me in the right direction?
I'm fairly new to WordPress, so if anyone can suggest what plugin to use, or if there is functionality already in place in WordPress for this how I can use it to get the effect I want.
UPDATE
As per the requirement to show what has been done so far to achieve the result I want, I have created a PHP page that uses the HTML 5 video tags to embed the video I want, with the PNG overlay. I then embed the page using an iframe tag from within WordPress. The problem is I have to create a new PHP page for each WordPress page I want with this layout when it needs a different video and overlay png image.
Thank you!!!
To avoid an opinionated answer on what I think is the best plugin to use, I just did a simple View Page Source on the site you posted and picked through to find where that video banner is displayed. It references a lot of classes and stuff labeled "mejs" which I think refers to a mediaelement.js plugin found here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-element-html5-video-and-audio-player/
I want to use videos from www.screencast.com in WordPress want to to show multiple links for videos in single page and when I click on a link it should the video in popup form.
I tried this "Screencast.com Video Embedder " but this is not opening videos in popup from.
Please Help.
Just take the embed code from the screencast.com share option and paste that into your post's html. Then go back to the visual mode and adjust the dimensions if necessary to fit your screen (600 px or whatever).
Better yet, when you look at the Screencast site, instead of grabbing the “Embed On Your Page” code, simply look above at the “Share URL.” This is the content you’ll need to add to the Screencast Short Code. Make sure you grab “http:……../” and everything. So your shortcode should look like this;
[screencast url="http:www.screeencast.com/123XYZabc" width="xxx" height="yyy"]
The next plugin you'll need doesn't get rave reviews, but I do know some people who've used this successfully. I know it's old, but apparently still works. Popup Video Generator. And here's an example of how to use it properly.
I'm working on a website and i use a wordpress plug-in that embeds youtube videos.
Now it has this great option to show only an image of the video and load the video only if you press the video so the page won't take a lot of time to load.
The problem is that in that mode it takes that video photo from youtube and it also takes a big, red, play button image that is ugly as hell :)
Now that button's css is coming from some external link (http://s.ytimg.com/yts/cssbin/www-embed-vflSBO3VV.css) and i don't know how to over ride it.
Any suggestions?
That is the site i'm working on btw - http://www.lab.gezerweb.com/ClipPress/
Thanks.
I believe you're talking about an embed that uses controls=2, correct? (See https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#controls)
If so, then no, there's no way to override the default play button in the cued state.
I don't think this is related to JQM but maybe just the CSS.
I have a very basic mobile web page and it loads with the correct css. There is a link on this page that links to the a similar page but with a different css reference.. but it does not apply the css until I hit refresh. I tested this with iphone browser.
anyone having similar issue or seen this?
The way JQM works by default is that it loads each linked page, 'inside' the first page loaded, through ajax.
This is done behind the scenes.
If you want to load different content forced, the quickest way is to make the link an 'external' link using
click here
That's the way I know it will definitely not use ajax. unfortunately this disables the neat page change effects.
In the documentation it says you should use
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
// disable ajax nav
$.mobile.ajaxLinksEnabled = false;
});
</script>
But this doesn't always work for me.
Remember though that Everything is reloaded, so you will have to include all of your javascript and css in the "new" page.
Another way to achieve what your asking is to load both Css files on all pages and use javascript to media tags to switch between them.
Hope this helps. I spend a long time coming up with a way to make jqm work like a classic website.
