Autoplay Dailymotion video using shortcode?

Is it possible to include the ‘autoplay’ parameter for a Dailymotion video using shortcode? Pasting the full URL would look something like this:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5tkla3?autoplay=1

However, when attempting to use the shortcode [dailymotion id=x5tkla3]
it does not accept the ‘?autoplay=1’ value. Rather it will only accept the ‘x5tkla3’ portion of the url. Is there a way to add an autoplay feature to the shortcode?

Thanks,
Eric

Hey timethief, thanks for the reply.

It actually looks like WordPress doesn’t recognize the “autoplay” parameter at all when I test now. When I paste this URL:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5tkla3?autoplay=1

it does not autoplay the video after posting, and even taking the full embed code from Dailymotion doesn’t work:

<iframe frameborder=”0″ width=”480″ height=”270″ src=”//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x5tkla3?auto
Play=1″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

I hope someone can let me know how I can utilize this feature on WordPress.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi @ericcayce, I’ll check in with our developers to be sure, but I don’t believe autoplay is supported at this time. I’ll let you know what I find.

@ericcayce I’ve confirmed it won’t work currently. I’ve filed request for you, though. I can’t say when someone will be able to do that, but know it’s on the list!
