Also on the iPhone, when playing a video manually, it takes over the entire screen. Need the “playsinline” option added to videos for iOS support.

I have inspected the code on the device and found out that the tag playsinline is missing. I have added this in additional CSS. But this is still not working. Is there a way to get the autoplay working on IOS.

The history of updates in the page below says Version 12.3 – June 19, 2019 introduces ‘Add an option to add playsinline attribute to HTML5 video’:

However, toggling various options on and off on the Slider Options screen doesn’t add the playsinline attribute to a video slide. Is this added function supported in the free slideshows of Wonder Slider Lite or for paid slideshows only? Please let me know how I can get the playsinline attribute added.

Thank you in advance.

While my research for a solution I′ve found a function ?playsinline“, wich should solve this problem. But I don′t know where and how to add it to the HTML code of my WP-Theme Sydney. I really, really need this to work.

As part of different post formats, my theme uses metaboxes to define certain items as part of the format:

$meta_boxes[] = array(
    'id' => 'format_settings',
    'title' => esc_html__( 'Post Format Settings', 'linx' ),
    'pages' => array( 'post' ),
    'context' => 'normal',
    'priority' => 'high',
    'autosave' => true,
    'fields' => array(
      array(
        'type' => 'heading',
        'name' => esc_html__( 'Video Format', 'linx' ),
        'id' => 'heading_id',
      ),
      array(
        'name' => esc_html__( 'Video embed code', 'linx' ),
        'id' => "{$prefix}pf_video_data",
        'type' => 'textarea',
        'cols' => 20,
        'rows' => 4,
      ),
      array(
        'type' => 'heading',
        'name' => esc_html__( 'Gallery Format', 'linx' ),
        'id' => 'heading_id',
      ),
      array(
        'name' => esc_html__( 'Gallery images', 'linx' ),
        'id' => "{$prefix}pf_gallery_data",
        'type' => 'image_advanced',
        'max_file_uploads' => 10,
      ),
      array(
        'type' => 'heading',
        'name' => esc_html__( 'Audio Format', 'linx' ),
        'id' => 'heading_id',
      ),
      array(
        'name' => esc_html__( 'Audio embed code', 'linx' ),
        'id' => "{$prefix}pf_audio_data",
        'type' => 'textarea',
        'cols' => 20,
        'rows' => 4,
      ),
	 array(
        'type' => 'heading',
        'name' => esc_html__( 'Link Format', 'linx' ),
        'id' => 'heading_id',
      ),
      array(
        'name' => esc_html__( 'Link to', 'linx' ),
        'id' => "{$prefix}pf_link_data",
        'type' => 'text',
      ),
    )
  );

  return $meta_boxes;
}
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'linx_register_meta_boxes' );

At the moment, I am trying to build out a video post, which has the following markup in the defined textarea:

<video
	preload="none"
	class="lazyload"
	muted=""
	loop=""
	data-autoplay=""
	playsinline=""
	-webkit-playsinline="" 
	style="width:100%" 
	src="https://cdn.willstocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Mpow-Flame-2018-Special-Edition-Video-1.mp4">
</video>

However, the output (see here: https://willstocks.co.uk, scroll down to the MPOW post at the bottom) results in the playsinline and -webkit-playsinline values being removed from the <video>, which results in failure to autoplay on iOS devices.

Can you see any reason for Meta Box stripping these two items? I’m not sure where else/why else these would be being removed

Can we make playsinline one of the selections in the video block options?

I dug into the Gutenberg packages on github, and from what I can tell, all of the code for the video block actually is set up for allowing the selection of playsinline. Why doesn’t it show up in the WordPress editor?

Greetings. It’s a wonderful plugin. My only doubt is the playsinline feature. I’m trying to make it work but the video continues playing in fullscreen. Using iPhone 5S with iOS 8.3.
