YouTube Views not counting because Fullscreen Video autoplays

[parcyvall]

Dear Swiftideas,

I just noticed that now views are counted for videos on the site using the fullscreen video overlay. This seems to be, because YouTube doesn’t count autoplays anymore.

Is there a way to stop the videos from autoplaying?

Kind regards,
Simon

Hi,
Please paste this code at functions.php of child theme.

function sf_get_embed_src( $url ) {
            if ( strpos( $url, 'youtube' ) ) {
                preg_match( '/[\\?\\&]v=([^\\?\\&]+)/', $url, $video_id );
                $youtube_params = apply_filters( 'sf_youtube_embed_src_params', '?autoplay=0' );
                if ( is_ssl() ) {
                    if ( isset( $video_id[1] ) ) {
                        return 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/' . $video_id[1] . $youtube_params;
                    }
                } else {
                    if ( isset( $video_id[1] ) ) {
                        return 'http://www.youtube.com/embed/' . $video_id[1] . $youtube_params;
                    }
                }
            } else {
                $url          = str_replace( 'https://', 'http://', $url );
                $video_id     = sf_get_vimeoid( $url );
                
                $vimeo_params = apply_filters( 'sf_vimeo_embed_src_params', '?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&autoplay=1' );
                if ( is_ssl() ) {
                    if ( $video_id != "" ) {
                        return 'https://player.vimeo.com/video/' . $video_id . $vimeo_params;
                    }
                } else {
                    if ( $video_id != "" ) {
                        return 'http://player.vimeo.com/video/' . $video_id . $vimeo_params;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Thanks
