Youtube background video stopped working

triegman · June 2018

Hi there,

I've implemented a background video which worked untill recently:

https://global.clb.nl/about/

I checked Google's developer's guidelines and the videos are muted so that should be fine.. https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

Could you please check and advise?

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Tim

Hi,

Please read this:https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/video-layers/

Also, try to disable all plugins and see if it works.

And you have few HTML errors (firefox CTRL+U), please fix them too.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I tried disabling other plugins but it does not help.

The issue is in Chrome, not firefox and seems to be related to this:
Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('https://www.youtube.com') does not match the recipient window's origin ('https://global.clb.nl').

Do you know how to fix this?

Meanwhile I'll look at the HTML flaws.

Thanks.

Background video autoplay will be soon blocked by most of web browsers.

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

Besides, please be sure, that you done everything right while creating a video layer

https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/video-layers/

I readed on few forums, that one of youtube arguments is causing problem, exactly: enablejsapi=1

You have it in your code (http://prntscr.com/jx1x28) so try to delete it in RSlider options

Thanks.

Hello Pablo and thank you for you response.

It's good to know that soon browsers will block autoplay videos, it's an issue with this client.

I advised against it but he insists, and with sound... so we have to make it work and worry about it later when browsers will make the decisions for him I guess...

Since this is a background video and not a video layer, the second link is irrelevant.

I don't know how to remove this param, it's not in the arguments field, I actually cleared all arguments now and I still see enablejsapi=1 when I inspect the slider, is there a global setting for this parameter?

This parameter is added by the Revolution Slider, you would have to contact the plugin author to get this resolved. We do not support plugins in such advanced ways.

thanks

Thanks again,

Guy
