    I want to open an mp4 video hosted locally without it auto-playing.

    I am creating a lightbox using the following code:

    YY

    XX is a link to an mp4 video and YY is the anchor text.

    Is there any way to stop is auto-playing? Or is there an alternative code which will achieve my aim?

    Sorry, the code didn’t appear. I will try again.

    The code I am using is an a href=”[link to mp4 file]” with the rel attribute “wp-video-lightbox” with “?iframe=true” as a parameter in the HREF (ie as instructed at the top of page 4 of the “WP Video Lightbox Plugin Usage Guide”). I tried copying the actual code here but it doesn’t show up.

    Is there any way to stop is auto-playing? Or is there an alternative code which will achieve my aim?

    Hi,

    In the plugins settings, do you have the autoplay feature enabled or disabled?

    Thank you

    The autoplay is disabled in plugin settings.

    Hi,

    I want to open an mp4 video hosted locally without it auto-playing.

    Are you wanting to open the video and then click on the play button. Is this correct?

    Thank you

    Yes, that is correct.

    Hi, I have carried out a test in my dev site using the following code. It works for me.

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z75aK3JHx4M&feature=emb_title?iframe=true&width=500&height=300" rel="wp-video-lightbox[iframes]">SugarMill Gameplay</a>

    When I click on SugarMill Gameplay link, it opens up a window and allows me to click on the play button. This confirms the plugin is working.

    For testing purposes, you might want to copy and past the above code in a post and carry out a test. Let me know if it works in your site or not?

    Kind regards

    Thank you, but your example uses a youtube video. My question was about a locally hosted video. When I try the same thing with a locally hosted video, the lightbox opens up and the video plays straightaway.
