To start, create an ACF Text field.

I named it Youtube video id or mp4 video link.

Now on the newly created field add:

oOkGmK3_Hdg – a Youtube video ID or
https://www.w3schools.com/howto/rain.mp4 – an MP4 video to test the Field.

Add in the PHP code in your hero php file.


    <?php if (!empty($content_options['youtube_video_id'])):
        $video = $content_options['youtube_video_id']; ?>
        <?php if(strtolower(end(explode(".",$video))) =="mp4"): ?>
            <video playsinline autoplay muted loop id="myVideo">
                <source src="<?php echo $video; ?>" type="video/mp4">
            </video>
        <?php else: ?>
            <div id="yt-wrap">
                <div id="ytplayer"></div>
            </div>
            <script>
                // This code loads the IFrame Player API code asynchronously.
                var video_id = '<?php echo $content_options['youtube_video_id']; ?>';
                var tag = document.createElement('script');
                tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/player_api";
                var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
                firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
                var player;
                function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() {
                player = new YT.Player('ytplayer', {
                width: '100%',
                height: '100%',
                videoId: video_id,
                playerVars: {

                });
                }
                // The API will call this function when the video player is ready.
                function onPlayerReady(event) {
                event.target.playVideo();

                }

                // The function indicates that when playing a video (state=1),
                // the player should play for six seconds and then stop.
                function onPlayerStateChange(event) {
                if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.ENDED) {
                player.seekTo(0);
                player.playVideo();
                }
                }
                function stopVideo() {
                player.stopVideo();

            </script>        
        <?php endif; ?>
