My YT video's are blacked out
-
Needless to say once again very upset. Video’s are on auto-pay via gigya method, played fine just a few days ago but now all video’s are just black. Whether Firefox or Opera the same. In the past it was a Firefox issue, this time both browsers are affected.
My whole blogsite is 70% Music blogs so if WordPress isn’t allowing gigya method I literally have no blogsite anymore. All my video’s are blacked out. Please help. I can’t redo over 750 blogs.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I realize happiness engineers may not be quickly available but again quite upset. The Major portion of my blog site is honestly over 70% Music and more like 800+ Blogs. All YT video’s are completely black.
Please help ASAP.
Thank You
I have cleared all cookies. Remains the same.

WP has fixed this issue in past, I pray you fix it again.

I just added “modlook” to the tags for your posts, that should alert staff to take a look, it still may take them a bit.

Thank You, Thank You Thank You
All is well again, video’s auto-playing. I get very scared and nervous because it’s basically the majority of my blog site. So to ackaeser and WP staff, again Thank You.

I found a few videos on your site. Of those I found, none auto-played. However, a SoundCloud player autoplayed on the page Horse Racing.
@ WordPress.com staff:
Videos with Gigya auto-play code, previously working (some for several years) on various pages of my site, including “Baltimore Oriole,” “Didn’t Want to Have to Do It,” “Early in the Morning – Charlie Feathers demo, w/lyrics,” and others are presently not playing, though a SoundCloud player autoplays on the pageVivo Sonhando.

With Firefox 47 came a feature disabling them from auto-playing which is why I use 43. It made me laugh because when I went to news sites everything auto-played, the only thing they stopped was YT on peoples blog sites. But Opera never ever a problem, that’s why I knew something went hay wire here when all were just blacked out boxes. I’m just glad WP staff fixed the problem.
Firefox needs to tell people how to once again enable auto-play with 47 and up (to now 48). Until they do I’ll stick with 43, but again no problems with Opera.

Thanks for the tips.
None of the Gigya code videos with autoplay are working on FF 48.0. I nearly always use the latest Firefox and haven’t had an issue for quite a while now. They were working within the last few weeks, but I can’t recall the last time I tried one. Firefox 47 was a fairly recent update I’d guess.that’s why I knew something went hay wire here when all were just blacked out boxes
Mine are not blacked out, and haven’t been at any time recently. The videos display normally, and play normally, but do not autoplay.

See that was the thing. Mine were completely blacked out for 3 days on both browsers until WP fixed the problem.
Opera always auto-played for me. When FF updated to 47 video’s were visible and not auto-playing, then I read that they added an automatic feature that disabled them which was idiotic. On YT they auto-played, every single news site they auto-played, the only thing they stopped was the ones on my blogs. So I removed FF 47 and reinstalled FF43. I have an older computer. When I did that everything auto-played back to normal.
When something went haywire here om WP Both FF and Opera showed just Black Boxes for the videos.And Opera always played even when updated FF didn’t, I knew it was a WP problem. I tried to go to your sites listed but computer froze up, your Mama Cass video was playing for a moment though.
If your video’s are visible and just not playing, remove FF 48 and reinstall 43 or go to Opera. I had a different problem, Video’s weren’t visible at all. Like I said now they are and back to auto-play. I am again grateful.

BTW @musicdoc1
If you do the reinstall of FF43 make sure you go to tools, settings and advanced and check the box that says Never check for updates otherwise they will automatically update you right back to 48. I learned that the hard way.
I run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware once a week and I’m good.
