 * When I add the background video to a page it turns black, then nothing ( Chrome)
   or a freeze frame (Firefox). [http://lightboxlive.com/contact/](http://lightboxlive.com/contact/)
 * But does work when adding the video URL in the plugin’s homepage settings. [http://lightboxlive.com/](http://lightboxlive.com/)
 * Please advise. Thank you!!

 * You have set autoPlay:false; that’s why the video doesn’t start.

 * Hey Matteo,
 * The autoPlay checkbox was hidden behind the Inline video option, why???
 * I never wanted in Inline video so I didn’t check the box.
 * To get to autoPlay, you have to check inline video, then check autoplay, the 
   uncheck inline video. Why make it so difficult??? Make it obvious please!! 😉
 * I love your plugin but man, you gotta fix that!!!

 * In the past versions of the component the background video was always autoplay
   =true; that’s why the shortcode editor did’nt show the autoplay if used as background.
   
   When I introduced the autoplay also for the background I forgot to change the
   editor behavior.
 * Just made the 1.7.5 update where this has been fixed.
