 * I think there is a bug that prevents the ‘preload’ attribute from working in 
   all cases, except for probably when the template is set to ‘mediaelement’ and
   the default wp_video_shortcode is used.
 * If you look at the evp_embed_video_handler shortcode function, it has an option
   for preload and most of the other variables are processed, like ‘muted’ and ‘
   autoplay’ so they have the correct values, then inserted into the video code.
 * However, this is not done for preload, so it has no effect.
