Youtube video background not playing - only cover image is showing

MN_JPS · July 2018

Hi Betheme!
Last week all revolution sliders with youtube video backgrounds stopped autoplaying youtube videos and displaying only the cover image.
Is this problem because of a conflict introduced with a new update?

I found this blogpost which describes the error, but the fix doesn't work: https://precisiondigital-llc.com/2018/06/revolution-slider-background-videos-not-working-in-chrome-67/

Here is an example on our site. Let me know if you need credentials.

Hi,

Please disable all the plugins(without RSlider) and check again.

Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for the quick response!
I tried this now and cleared the cache, but it did not fix it.

This error is displayed in the developer console (Chrome):
Failed to set referrer policy: The value '' is not one of 'no-referrer', 'no-referrer-when-downgrade', 'origin', 'origin-when-cross-origin', 'same-origin', 'strict-origin', 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin', or 'unsafe-url'. The referrer policy has been left unchanged.

It shows that it's a CORS problem.

More details about the CORS you can read on http://enable-cors.org/server.html but we recommend to contact with your server administrator this case because he will be able to help you for sure.
thanks
