Autoplay Permanently Disabled from WordPress?

    Has wordpress.com permanently disabled autoplay for Youtube? All of my autoplay Youtube videos stopped working less than a month ago. My codes used to look like this:

    [gigya src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cvy4A9PwSnw" flashvars="autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="1" height="1"]

    WordPress doesn’t seem to recognize gigya anymore. I’ve tried other formats similar to the following:

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ky8P0dyfsg?&autoplay=1&w=25&h=25%5D

    However, while the video works, the autoplay does not. Anyone know a good work-around for this?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I just adding almost the same ?

    I had spent the last three days adding a S to the http “https” because UMG and others like them would say you have to watch on YT because replay couldn’t play on certain sites. Adding the S to the code (because YT switch to https from http seemed to fix the problem.

    As of Monday morning all were auto-playing, I get on computer after midnight and the video’s are now in the off position.

    I’m infuriated. 80% of my blogs are Music. If this is the way things remain, they will have destroyed my blogs (almost 890 now) and will be pointless to write and post anymore.

    Oh god, I hope so.

    If you have more than one Youtube video on your site, what happens when someone goes to the main blog page and they all start playing at once?

    I did not do anything special on my blog. The facebook like button works, and facebook like add-up, but old counts are not there.
    Thank you for your help.

    Well raincoaster I add a MORE in edit to cut the blog, only way it plays is if you click onto entire blog.

    You Hope So?

    I just added the Question as well.

    I spent the last three days converting or adding a “S” at the end of the http in Gigya code https so they’ll play once again as auto-play and get content blocked by browsers. As of Monday morning at 8:00AM all I had done (about third of music blogs) were doing exactly that auto playing. Now as of 12:00AM video’s for whatever reason are set on the off position on the videos in blogs.

    I am infuriated.

    75+% of my blogs are Music, even most of the sports ones of Tigers & Red Wings highlighting capturing titles have a video in auto-play.

    One second things are functioning, next second they’re not. Took a lot of time editing one by one adding the S in https and still had a ways to go to edit all.

    Can somebody please tell me why all now seem to be in the OFF position? The point is to have them playing immediately upon clicking onto blog.

    If it’s going to be like this, the fun of writing blogs for me will be over.

    I don’t want to hear from people who don’t like blogs with music auto-playing, as I said my Music blogs, that’s what they are suppose to do.

    Everything I edited as of Mon. morning were fine, they all were automatically playing now YT video’s are all in off position and I didn’t do a thing to make them that way.

    I’d appreciate any help.

    Thank You.

    The blog I need help with is longshotsblues.wordpress.com.

    Now I just found this.

    https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/is-there-a-way-to-have-music-begin-automatically-on-a-page?replies=6#post-2219242

    Happiness engineer stating auto=play not supported use Sound Cloud.

    Well since 2011 the Gigya code HAS BEEN supported.

    When I started here in 2009 a simple YT code WP decided not to support forcing the use of Soundcloud. But when the Gigya code came out for Auto-Play WP did support it.

    I have over 800 Music blogs with others having YT video playing for a reason.

    Are you telling me I have to redo all these video’s, download then onto Sound Cloud. You have to be kidding.

    WordPress is reverting and going backwards. You just destroyed my entire Blogsite. For 4 years Auto-play has certainly been supported.

    As I stated I spent three days adding an S to http “https” to make them indeed play. And that had changed over night working one second to not working the next.

    Now as of Mon. morning ALL were auto=playing just fine, as of Midnight when I logged in all YT video’s have been turned to off position. So WordPress has done this???

    I do not understand, Why?

    Please do not do this to me and the rest. You have destroyed my blog site, literally.

    Again, You hope so? Well my Blogsite has now been destroyed. I’m glad you’re happy, for my site I’m very upset. I don’t leave all my blogs on main page with video’s All playing, that would be insane.
