How do i go about acheiving this?

Autoplay is not universally supported by all devices.  Many smatphone data plans can't handle the burden of preloaded and auto playing media.  There's nothing you can do to change this b/c mobile devices simply ignore the parameter.   All that said, why are you still using player plugins?  You don't need them with HTML5 video.

    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • How do I get an MP4 video file to autoplay instead of download

    I am using Dreamweaver CS5.5.  I am trying to embed an .mp4 video on my website to autoplay.  When I take it to "Live View" the file plays - if I use the "Play" function in Properties I get the following message - "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type. Dreamweaver looks in both the "Configurations/Plugins" folder, and the plugins folder for each of your selected browsers."  When I publish the page and go to my website to view, the video does not play - instead, the file downloads to my computer.  What can I do to remedy this issue?

  • HT3775 how can i convert an AVI video file to work on my iMac?

    I have just bought an imac and am trying to put my movies on to the mac from a microsoft machine. A lot of them are in AVI or MKV formats and I want to know if there is a converter I can download on my imac which will convert these files? Any help would be gratefully received.

    If you just want to move these avi and mkv files to play on iMac, you can download VLC player, it plays just every file format.
    http://www.videolan.org
    For converting files to Mac readable format, I use this one all the time:
    http://www.appgeeker.com/how-to/convert-avi-to-mp4-mac.html
    It supports handling multiple files at a time. one of my cameras record in .AVI format and i bulk convert to .mp4 or h264.

  • How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

    How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

    she only needs to do that if he needs to change the format. For example if she recorded the clips via her  phone and it's not in a format iTunes will play.  For example if I have a .wmv iTunes won't touch it until I convert it. She could also be talking about video that she recorded on a DVD camcorder that burns the video to a DVD not a memory card. ITunes doesn't convert everything.
    She's transfered the clips to her ipad and the ipad won't play them. So she needs to get them to a m4v or mp4, and you use format converters for that. Not apps but something on the computer.

  • How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?

    How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?
    When I create the project I get these files:
    dist/lib/libreria1.jar
    dist/lib/libreria2.jar
    dist/software.jar
    The libraries that have been imported to create the project are in separate folders:
    libreria1/libreria1.jar
    libreria2/libreria2.jar
    libreria1, libreria2, dist folders are all located inside the project folder.
    I added the following code to the build.xml:
    <target name="-post-jar">
    <jar jarfile="dist/software.jar">
    <zipfileset src="${dist.jar}" excludes="META-INF/*" />
    <zipfileset src="dist/lib/libreria1.jar" excludes="META-INF/*" />

    Of course there is also the project folder:

    src/pacco/classeprincipale.java
    Can you tell me what is wrong? The error message I get is as follows:

  • How can you get your iPhone videos to compress to one video instead of 5 different frames?

    How can you get your iPhone videos to compree to one video instead of different frames

    It sounds like you to 5 separate videos. If you start recording, then stop it, then start it again, you will have 2 videos. Not 1. As for splicing them together, you will need a video editing package for your PC. I don't know if Windows Movie Maker (or whatever they're calling it now) can handle this or not. On a Mac, I'd say just use iMovie.

  • How can I get an inserted  video (FLV) in Presenter 7 to stay on the screen once it has finished pla

    How can I get an inserted  video (FLV) in Presenter 7 to stay on the screen once it has finished playing? Right now it disappears once it is done. I'd like it to remain on the screen, or loop if possible, until the user manually moves the presentation forward.

    Hi,
    You may set the slide setting as 'Advance by user'.
    So,
    a. Insert flv on a slide.
    b. On presenter ribbon goto Slide Manager .
    c. Select the slide on which flv is inserted and set Advance by user 'Yes'
    Hope this solves your purpose.
    Thanks,
    Alpi
