Autoplay in lightbox using Vimeo

See original GitHub issue

Hi, first of all thank you for the tool.

Using afterglow and a Vimeo ID with the following code:

<a class="afterglow" href="#js-preview">See preview</a>
<video id="js-preview" data-vimeo-id="10000" width="960" height="540" autoplay></video>

I have to press the play button event in the lightbox.

Is this working as intended or am I missing something? How can I start the video automatically?

Thank you.

If you like, you can try a first alpha build of v2: https://github.com/moay/afterglow/blob/2a945562ea799401f0a05f86ce022f543a16f8ed/dist/afterglow.min.js

There are some missing features, it is not tested yet and browser support is not guaranteed, but vimeo lightbox should work with autoplay. Just saw that the lightbox controls don’t show yet for vimeo, but maybe you can live with this until the final version (or one of the next alphas).

Just played around with this a bit, can’t get it to trigger play either. Sorry for that.

ETA is “probably soon”. It’s a complete rewrite, so there is some work to do. I’ve already changed the entire base engine and reenabled all major features, but it’ll take some days or weeks, I guess. I’ll give my best to make it soon. 😃
