Vimeo redirect and embed full screen

Hello Dave,

opening that page caused my Firefox and Chrome web browser to stop responding. Same applies to Safari.

I found where FV Player script gets into an infinite loop. Please reinstall FV Player and it will work. To do that you will have to first deactivate and delete the current FV Player plugin you are using. WordPress will warn you that you might loose settings and data, but it’s not the case with out plugin, no settings now videos will be lost. Or you can just replace the plugin files via FTP.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Dave!

The video autoplays for me on desktop in Firefox and Safari. What browser/device you noticed the video not playing?

There are limits for autoplay unfortunately but not from our end. First Safari 11 (released in September 2017) blocked any autoplay video which is not muted. Now Chrome 66 (released in April 2018) blocks autoplay video unless:

* User has interacted with the domain before by clicking or tapping on the website.
* Or the user’s Media Engagement Index (MEI) threshold has been crossed, meaning the user has previously play video with sound.

You can read more about autoplay issues in here.

Autoplay is also not available for mobile devices as these devices often use slower Internet and expensive data. This is hardcoded in the mobile web browsers.

Thanks,

Lucia
