VideoPress Lightbox or Thickbox

Bump.

Did you have any luck in finding a plugin that adds Lightbox functionality for Videopress embeds? I am trying to find the same thing.

did you try this https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/easy-fancybox/

@mharriett – I did not find a good way to do this. Perhaps @andreaamado’s suggestion will work.

Thanks for the advice, before I saw your suggestion I found some code and a plugin that works good for creating a lightbox. I used the Fancybox for WordPress plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/fancybox-for-wordpress/ ). Here is the code.

[SHORT CODE FOR EMBEDDING WP VIDEO XXXXXXXX]

<div style=”display:none” id=”testube”>
<object width=”320″ height=”270″>
<param name=”movie” value=”FILE URL”></param>
<param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param>
<embed src=”https://s0.videopress.com/player.swf?v=1.03&#8243; type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”300″ height=”250″ wmode=”direct” seamlesstabbing=”true” allowfullscreen=”true” allowscriptaccess=”always” overstretch=”true” flashvars=”guid=XXXXXXXX&isDynamicSeeking=true” title=””></embed>
</object>
</div>

My only issue with using this is that I cannot get the video to autoplay when it pops up in the lightbox. I have to click the video again to get it to play. I have tried adding autoplay = “true”, autoplay = “1” to the code, but that has not worked.

Do you have any advice on how I can get this video to autoplay when it pops up in the lightbox?

Thanks
