Hey Daniel,
Here’s a partial answer.
At the time I built my site, the internet rules were changing – in particular to not allow videos with sound to auto play. This rule change was intended to protect users from getting large download data bills for data they didn’t want. Too bad becausew my site was super slick using the autoplay. My solution is to strip off the audio track (I used iMovie) now the video plays automatically but with no sound. Next time I get back to this, I’ll try to figure out how to put in a mute/play button on top of the video (like in the newsfeeds).

Hope that helps,
Bill

Eric,
you created a beautiful site!

When I tried it, thewireframe video played on both a mac and on my iphone6.

I was able to get my video to autoplay on both but I had to detach the audio track before uploading the video. But that takes out half the fun!

nK: I would like to use scroll-opacity and have the audio tarck play as well.
any help, greatly appreciated.
Bill

FYI
My plugin only has 2 tabs (general and styles) . It does not look like the screenshots on the support post:

LUV your amazing parallax WP plugin! Curious though, can it work on mobile view?

which has 4 tabs.

I first downloaded the awb plug in last month and re-downloaded it yesterday.
Is it possible I’m using an older version?

Hi nK,
Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately I’m still having problems.
I added awb_video_mobile=”true” and it did not help.
I’m using the current version of wordpress. I deleted and reinstalled your plugin to be sure it is up to date. I’m using the wordpress default theme twentyseventeen wity a custom child theme.

Videos show and auto play on desktop but are blank on mobile (iPhone).
I would like the effect to be the same as on your demo website: ( https://demo.nkdev.info/#awb ) the block that says VIDEO and has a 3 leaf plant swaying in the breeze – a beautiful!
I’m using a native mp4 video (ie uploaded to the add media screen in wordpress).

I even went as far as inspecting the video on your demo site and trying to copy the code from the inspector (with syntax changes of course). No it did not work.

I wonder if the wordpress core is disabling autoplay and if there is code I can put in the functions.php file to create an exception.

Any suggestions you have are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill
