Auto start video on iPad

Does edge 2014 have an auto start feature that works on the iPad? I have it working perfectly on the desktop and laptop. I do not want to show video controls either.

Hi there,
Unfortunately, the longer answer is "no". iOS and most Android devices require video playback to be initiated by a user event such as touch, click, swipe, etc., and not the autoplay (nor preload) attribute.
While there is a workaround shown in the above link, it still requires a user action to play the "dummy" video element before a different video src can be attached to the element, and there's no way to preload any video on iOS, so there likely will be animation synchronization issues as well. Circumventing the built-in limitations of these devices can also have unexpected consequences for the viewer on a cellular network (possibly incurring data charges without their knowledge - that's general reason given why these devices don't support autoplay of video and audio elements).
If the mobile platform is important to you, the better way is to design your site in such a way that a user event is required to initiate video playback, or provide controls to the video element so the user can choose to initiate playback.

  • I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have-I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button-how and where would I put this "play all" marker??

    I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have…I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button…how and where would I put this "play all" marker?? Thanks..

    The start chapter button is a play the whole movie button regardless of how many other markers you have.
    Once a DVD starts playing it continues to the end.
    Chapters marker simply gives the viewer a place to start playback whether it be the start, middle or near the end.

  • Turning off autoplay does not stop videos from auto-starting, will this be fixed, or should I switch to another browser ? (which do you suggest?)

    Hi,
    Firefox these days has an annoying habit of starting videos on every news page that I open and when I scroll through my facebook newsfeed. There is only a very select amount of these videos that I would actually want to watch, and it's annoying to be bombarder with this media constantly.
    I have tried disabling auto-play in the config page to no avail, and am not interested in installing add-ons to accomplish a task that should be handled by the browser itself.
    So, does anyone know of a method to accomplish this with FireFox's own settings, or alternatively recommend a browser that does not have this offensive behavior ?
    Thanks in advance...

    I think the built-in setting (media.autoplay.enabled) relates to the HTML5 player and doesn't apply to plugins such as the Flash player. You usually can tell whether it's a plugin-based player by right-clicking it and checking whether it has a proprietary context menu instead of the normal Firefox menu.
    To control when plugins start, you can use the "Ask to Activate" permission setting. You can adjust this setting on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Command+Shift+a (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+a)
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. Then on the right side, change the permission for Shockwave Flash (for example) from Always Activate to Ask to Activate. ''(If you have plugins that run in the background or globally, such as security plugins, you may encounter problems using Ask to Activate for those.)''
    Of course, once you give permission to a site, each new page you load from that site will be able to auto-start its videos. Taking detailed control of that ''does'' require an add-on. I think this one might be the best integrated with the standard permission feature:

  • Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto

    Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
    Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
    Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
    I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
    My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
    My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
    Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
    regards

    I won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.

  • Cannot Stream Video from iPad on AppleTV - Media Server Apps via Airplay

    Hi,
    Need help on this one.  Am using iPad 4th gen - Apple TV 3rd Gen and iPhone 4S. (all latest firmware)
    Last week was streaming video via Airplay using GoodPlayer and ArkMC apps on iPad to stream from my NAS (WD MyBookLive) via DNLA media server to Apple TV - Worked Amazing
    Upgraded firmware on appleTV.
    I can no longer stream via Airplay from these apps - Airplay Icon appears - I can Select the Apple TV device for airplay (Checked - icon is blue). But no image on apple TV - video image stays on device.
    Full reboot of both AppleTV and iPad.
    Other software using server type setup (ex.:EMIT app) work perfectly and streaming directly from video on iPad works perfectly. (need to turn on the server on the computer though) or airplay enabled web sites and/or apps seem to work well also.
    Mirroring works but the video is not full screen and wrong ratio.
    Any clues ? I've lost this one.
    Thanks

    Apparently what is happening, and this was brought up in another thread, and what I suspected was happening as well, is that the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch is not streaming the video itself directly to the AppleTV (it might be streaming it if it's audio only, haven't confirmed). What it's apparently doing is, is telling the AppleTV2 to download the video and play it on its own, starting with xx:xx timestamp directly from youtube or your iTunes library. This is why it's only working with your iTunes library or the built-in YouTube app. And also why it wouldn't work with the camera roll, because it isn't streaming directly from the iPhone. So it's not exactly what we were originally thinking or expecting.

  • How do i delete auto fill emails on ipad

    how do i delete auto fill emails on ipad

    If you mean that when you start to enter an email address it completes the address with the incorrect one then the answer is no without restoring the iPad to factory defaults/new iPad.

  • Auto Start Disable

    This is ridiculous. I shouldn't have to be a programmer to not have Adobe videos auto start as soon as the page opens on CNN or whatever.  At work I often want to have a moment. Or if there's a text story below, I want to read the story and not view the video at all.
    WHY CAN'T I DISABLE AUTO START??

    Happy,
    Your iMac (and Mac OS X) has excellent support for "multiple users". I would suggest reading up on the concept. Just click on Help in the Finder and search for "multiple users". Lots of information.
    This way, your son can have IM launch at start up, while you won't even have access to it.
    It will also prevent him from mucking up "your" computer with his "necessary" add-ons. For example, LimeWire.

  • How to not auto-start WindowsMediaPlayer

    Just wondering what would the code look for not having the video inside of the media player not auto-start when you launch the form after debugging.

    Hi jcnf9,
    It seems that it is not the VS IDE issue, it would be the specific development issue, to help you find a better development forum, would you mind letting me know more detailed message about it?
    Which kind of app did you want to create, WinForm or others ?
    Best Regards,

  • How to continuously play video in iPad new

    How to continuously play video in iPad new ?

    Ok....lets start this from the begining.....

  • Auto sync vs auto start

    before itunes 9 I was able to set my iphone to auto start and not auto sync, now if auto sync is checked to turn it off, auto start is grayed out and my iphone will not start when plugged in? Does anyone know if this is a new feature for 9.0.1 or is it a bug?

    "Secondly, I don't know how to get the SD version without paying for it a second time. Can you tell me how to do that?"
    This is not part of the sync process at all. You import these as you would from any digital camera.
    " I delete the music off my computer once I upload it to my portable devices to conserve memory."
    Not a good idea. The iphone is not a storage device. It is meant to mirror the selected content on your computer. You are asking for problems if you delete the music from itunes.
    "Is there a way to organize music without syncing?"
    You can manually manage, but if the music is not in itunes you will likely run into problems at some point.
    " If I change the settings to manually manage music and videos, will it delete all the photos and videos I currently have synced? "
    It should not erase the photos and videos from your computer ( home videos and pics). It will erase the current itunes music and videos.
    "If I go to manually manage will those videos on my camera roll get erased? "
    No. Camera roll is not part of the sync process. It is temporary storage for vids/pics until you can import them to your computer.
    "If I change to manually manage, will apps be manually managed too? How do you go about manually managing apps? "
    I do not believe that you can manually manage apps.
    Here is an article on Manually managing:
    If I change to manually manage, will apps be manually managed too? How do you go about manually managing apps?
    "Since the phone won’t be synced anymore, how do I do a back up and restore? What information does a back up save? How do I restore from that back up? "
    Apps and music are not part of the backup. You can read about the backup here:

    "If I ever wanted to go back to syncing, will everything get erased again?
    Yes.

  • Auto starting scrolling frame

    Scrolling frames are great but cannot be autostarted. That means something like a long movie credit list, as far as I understand, can only be a movie that I prepare in Flash and takes a lot of memory.
    I also tried via an external html page that does trigger scrolling text automatically in my browser, but the import into DPS does not work.
    Unless I am maissing something?
    Thanks

    I'm trying to do the same (auto start a scrolling frame), but am having trouble as well. I've tried the <marquee> html tag and it works when I preview the html in my browser (Firefox) and works in the Adobe DPS desktop content viewer. However, it does not work on the iPad.
    My current work around is to create the scrolling animation in Hype and import it as a local html file. Unfortunately, the scrolling animation in Hype has some jumpy spots.

  • Why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?

    why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?

    Probably because you have not signed in in the Settings app. The iTunes and App Store keeps track of apps that need updating and auto updates apps for you. You need to be sign in for this to work.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > sign in.

  • DVD auto starts.

    Hi, i have sent my finished project to Encore via dynamic link with Encore chapter markers set in PP5.5. Chapter markers work fine but the DVD always auto starts when DVD is inserted into player. Is there a way i can set so that DVD will not start until start button on player is pressed? I have searched this for sometime but cannot find an answer. Thanks in advance.

    One way is to create a main menu. In Encore, use the flowchart to make this menu the first link in the chain from the start of the disk. Give the menu a play button, and have this button point to the start of your video time line.
    What happens then is that when you slide the disk into your DVD player, the disk boots up and plays the first thing in the chain, which is your main menu. There it will sit until that play button is pressed, either with the buttons on the player itself or with the remote control.

  • Can somebody advice me what to do, when I want to play video on iPad, the screen is just black....but in iTunes it shows he movies are there.

    Can somebody advice me what to do... when I want to play video on iPad, the screen is just black....it was just fine this morning. In iTunes it shows the movies are there.

    Try starting the movie using a backdoor approach.
    Swipe down from the middle of any home screen in order to bring up the Spotlight Search Feature. Type in the name of the movie in the text field. When the movie appears in the search, tap on it and that should launch the videos app and hopefully the movie will being to play.
