Vertical bar, no autoplay and no loop

[yangtheman]

Hi!

Great plug-in, by the way. It's exactly what I need, except a few things.

When I play the video, it shows vertical bars on both sides of the video, and neither autoplay nor loop=1 does not seem to work. When the page loads, the video doesn't play automatically and it doesn't loop either.

  $(function(){
    $('#bgvid').prettyEmbed({
      videoID: 'some_youtube_id',
      previewSize: 'hd',

      // Embed controls
      showInfo: false,
      showControls: false,
      loop: true,

      colorScheme: 'dark',
      showRelated: false,

      useFitVids: true
    });
  });

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Thanks @yangtheman - I'll have a look and see if I can reproduce. Do you happen to have a live example I could look at?

@yangtheman , sorry, maybe I did not understand your problem.

I'm not sure about this, but i belive the "autoplay" option is used for describe if the video will play after you click in the "thumb" image, not when you load the page.

@mike-zarandona i read about "loop" parameter in google developers doc, and this parameter don't work in iframe without playlist argument, please check:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#loop

Maybe you need consider remove this parameter from your plugin.

Hey @mike-zarandona, I've attached the screenshot. I don't see those vertical bars on youtube site.

@upmauro, I see. I assumed 'autoplay' option is used to play the video as soon as page load is completed. I've seen other sites who use youtube to serve video, e.g. gopro.com, and I thought I could do it with autoplay.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the screenshot, @yangtheman. Does this live online anywhere I can view it? The screenshot is nice, but it doesn't get me anywhere in terms of troubleshooting. :)

If I can't see this online, maybe you could send me any relevant code affecting the embed so that I might try to reproduce this issue locally. Thanks!

I'm getting the same vertical bar issue even on the demo site.

Gotta admit I was really confused about this.
