As title says.

Tried ALL of the combinations (1, true, autoplay, autplay="true"...) but none of these works.

Take a look: www.capaciditutto.org/

I've enabled autoplay in the plugin configuration: NO WAY.

how to fix?????

If you open the iframe source of the YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/SR1ruDgu4HI?rel=0&fs=1&wmode=transparent&autoplay=1
...you get a "video unavailable" message. If you open the video on YouTube.com is works just fine.

So my guess is that the video has some sort of restrictions. Try another video to make sure.

If it doesn't work, it may relate to these reports:

&
stackoverflow.com/a/50388630/1157949

Let me know.

The embed is correct according to: developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes#iframe

(By the way, it looks like autoplay works now on your site.)

Hi,
unfortunately not, the video doesn't autoplay on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Opera, neither on smartphone with iOS.

I don't see the error you report. In the website console i can only see that autoplay tag is not implemented correctly.

This is the code i've set on module:

{youtube}SR1ruDgu4HI{/youtube}
with plugin configuration set up ON on autoplay.

So i've tried to add
|1 or |true or |autoplay on video string, nothing changes.

Changed the video: nothing.

Tried to play a self hosted mp4 video: nothing.

So simply it doesn't works.

If you try to show a self hosted video, this is what you've got from Console Error Log of Firefox:

<video class="avPlayer" style="width:600px;height:400px;" src="/images/video/Perfection.mp4" preload="metadata" autoplay="" controls="" controlslist="nodownload"></video>

So as you can see, the AUTOPLAY tag is not implemented correctly, because it's totally blank!

Forcing a "true" command, it will start the video.

So there are errors in the plugin structure.

If you want to enable autoplay for a certain video and not all, the syntax to do so is referenced here: www.joomlaworks.net/support/docs/allvideos

{format/provider}filenameORvideoID|width|height|autoplay{/format/provider}

If you need to skip width and height settings, just don't add anything there, but the "|" must exist.

So in your case, it should be: {youtube}video_id|||1{/youtube}
