Hi,

I input a mp4 video to my wordpress, by use

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://www.google.com/abc.mp4"][/video]

When I watch the source code, it become

<video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-17145-1" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://www.google.com/abc.mp4?_=1" />https://www.google.com/abc.mp4</video></div>

It added ” ?_=1 ” to the end of the link, it make the video load much longer then normal.
Is it a bug in WordPress or in the theme?
Thanks

Hi

I’ve checked this on my side with Newsmag and also with a default wp-theme and the result was the same as you indicated above. WordPress add that parameter after video’s url but on my side that does not affect video’s length: http://screencast.com/t/dQBILIsV
Try to deactivate all plugin except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test again. Also you can test this with a default WordPress theme and check how it goes.

Thanks!
