Please contact me at sbohler@bohlersolutions.com for this issue. Thank you.

Description of issue

Autoplay doesn't work on YouTube videos, or I don't know the proper way to enable it with slb-handler-video. Please advise.

Details

My YouTube URLs are structured as follows: https://youtu.be/nnnnn**?autoplay=0&showinfo=0&controls=0&showinfo=0&modestbranding=1&rel=0**

URL of page exhibiting the issue: https://cscoe-mn.org/careers-new/
Web Browser(s) that exhibit the issue: Chrome
Simple Lightbox Version: 2.6.0 with video handler v0.2.0
Active theme: CSCOE
Other plugins installed: Many. Autoplay fails even with all plugins other that those required to test disabled. Autoplay and other Youtube parameters do not get passed to the output video url.

Hi, apologies for the delayed response. Autoplay is supported, but the parameter's value needs to be 1 not 0 (e.g. ?autoplay=1) for it to be enabled.

I would also recommend using the full youtube.com URL for the video as opposed to the youtu.be shortlink version, as YouTube's oEmbed API may not consistently support it.

Let me know if you are are still experiencing this issue after making the above changes and I would be glad to reopen this ticket at take another look.

Thanks.
