Video Playlist Settings

The only data you have to provide is the YouTube App ID. The App ID is necessary to fetch video metadata from the YouTube site.
To set the ID, please go to the WP Dashboard › Settings › MediaAce › Settings section.
You will find there the detailed instructions on how to get the App ID.

Vimeo Autoplay Restrictions

To use autoplay option for Vimeo video the “?background=1&muted=1&loop=0” parameter is necessary. The background parameter is only supported for videos hosted by paid members. As a result, the playlist supports only videos from PRO users. But even PRO users’ videos won’t be auto-played automatically (when one video ends). Autoplay only works when it’s a result of user interaction. Other videos (from free users) can be played and should be loaded fine but won’t be auto-played.
