Videos not playing all the way through / no autoply

    Hi. I am really struggling here. In the page link I’ve provided, I have 5 videos on the lower part of the right column (below the What’s Wrong with Websites video), and I’m using WP Video Lightbox to display them with the following shortcodes (varied for ID and thumbnail link, of course):

    [video_lightbox_vimeo5 video_id=”812876935″ width=”640″ height=”480″ anchor=”https://genoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/IBS-Thumbnail.png”%5D

    The video linked above is 21 seconds and basically scrolls through a website with two additional navigation clicks, but it will only show for one to 4 seconds on the website. I want the video to loop and set Vimeo to do that, but, thinking that might be the issue, I turned that off and told it to end on the thumbnail. The same thing is happening with the Shardeez video (next one down).

    I can’t get them to autoplay even though the Autoplay Slideshow and Autoplay Video settings are both checked in the Video Lightbox settings.

    I’m on 1.9.7 of Video Lightbox, WordPress 6.2, and PhP 7.4.33. The site theme is Divi / Kriar Nuevo child theme.

    If you want to test my embed code you’ll need to tell me the website to allow because the video is restricted to specific websites in Vimeo.

    Please advise. This isn’t looking good at present, and I know your plugin has worked before on an earlier version of this website, though not with these specific videos.

    Thank you.

    UPDATE:

    I went into settings and discovered that the setting for Slideshow, which was set to 5000, was impacting my videos. With some other testing, I had gotten the videos to play all the way through but they kept flashing. I changed this setting to 1000000 and the video will now play correctly.

    HOWEVER – no matter what I do, I cannot get the videos to autoplay. I have removed the playbar in Vimeo settings and at least there’s only a play icon to click, but I’d really like them to autoplay when the trigger image is clicked.

    Hi, what shortcode are you currently using?

    Thank you.

    @mjtdi3, We have just released an update to fix the Vimeo autoplay issue. Please update the plugin to see how it goes.

    I believe the video flashing is coming from the “Autoplay slideshow” option. You can disable it in the plugin settings (Settings >Video Lightbox > prettyPhoto).
