How do you stop HTML5 video from autoplaying?

I don't want video to play automatically. Flashblock achieves this for flash videos, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do the same thing for html5 video (on vine, for example).
None of the about:config settings appear to have any effect, and html5 isn't handled by a plugin so click to activate doesn't do anything either.

I confirm `flash-control`stops autoplay for html5 and old Flash videos (attached screen), plus it has a comprehensive little FAQ right on the extension page :)
Unlike `about:config` and other extensions I tried in vain.
Thanks @FredMcD @fledermaus for mentionning the former.

How do you stop a video from playing after you use removechild?

I am new to flash and asc3. I am currently developing a website using cs3. I have the main swf that calls in other swfs using the add child. The swfs that I am calling in, have video using the standard flvplayer. The problem that I am encountering (and is driving me nuts) is when I use the remove child, you can still hear the audio from the video that was just removed. How to I stop it? Please help. If you need more details, let me know. I really need to fix this asap. Thanks.

Try adding this to your code:
SoundMixer.stopAll();

How do you stop relevant videos from you tube appearing on website?

I have been using You Tube videos for some time in iWeb produced websites without problem Now related You Tube videos are appearing after the selected video has been played. This is not good and related videos can be totally irrelevant and totally in contrast to the website itself. I have left the Show related videos unchecked when entering the URL. I have found some suggestions advising to add either ?rel=0 or &rel=0 at the end of the URL but this makes the URL unrecognisable. What can be done?

iWeb has no control over youtube.
If youtube changes what they offer, then that's that.
Go to youtube, find your video, grab the embed code and paste it in a html snippet.
It's the same code the youtube widget in iWeb creates. Even the ?rel=0 is there.
And I have this :

How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.

It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture?

How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture? And before it's mentioned, no, Turing off Reduce Motion has absolutely NO effect on the auto enlarge feature that apple stupidly thought would be a good idea. The Reduce Motion ONLY stops the background from subtly shifting as you turn or angle the iDevice.

It should be my choice, not apples.
And I agree. But neither of us is a programming engineer at Apple, and so don't get to make those decisions. The user tip I wrote was based on the fact I didn't like it either, and was trying to figure out why it was scaling an image up in the first place, and then how to fix it as best as possible.
Since you've locked your iPad to one orientation, you should be able to copy your custom image off to your Mac (assuming you own one) and use an image editor, such as Photoshop Elements, to add pixel area to the narrow dimension to make it the same number of pixels as the larger dimension. Increase the canvas size so the extra space leaves the original narrower dimension centered, as in this example:
Copy it back to your iPad and select the modified image. Since it's square, it shouldn't scale.

How do you stop the keyboard from covering what you are typing

How do you stop the keyboard from covering up what you are typing- one of the worst features of the new iOS

What kind of problems are you having with the iPad?
If the keyboard is split and covering your text, Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.
if none of those are the issue, reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

How do you stop 1.4 from importing??

I recently installed LR2.3 on a machine with LR1.4. I thought it would install over but it appears to have installed a completely seperate copy.
The problem: when I put a card in my reader, the Windows dialog box pops up for 'what do you want to do with this?'.
If I select the LR2.3 icon, it pulls up LR1.4 instead!! The icon definitely says 2.3.
How do I stop 1.4 from importing and letting 2.3 do it?
Right now I have to:
Insert card
Wait for 1.4 to come up
shut down 1.4
Bring up 2.3
Import
thoughts?

I haven't had LR 1.4 installed over a year so I don't quite remember how it worked, but if it uses ADPProxy then you might find relief with the steps shown in this post:

How do you stop Mountain Lion from making endless copies and backups of everything?!

I already have a similar topic on this when I needed to figure out how to stop Mountain Lion from making endless copies of my text edit files and I was going to try the disabling of it that someone in that thread suggested, but I can't find where the Versions backups are being stored.
Anyway, tonight I cam across a new problem, when I went into "about this Mac" and looked at my Storage, I had almost 1gb of data in the "backups" section. I just happened to have Finder open when I went into the Time Machine in the status bar and when it entered Time Machine, I had dozens of copies of my desktop. Thing is, I don't have my Time Machine hard drive connected and I don't have a Time Capsule router/hard drive. And don't give me this garbage about how "It's not real backups, it's just a snapshot" or whatever, because the ONLY things that I have stored on my computer that I have altered since I got mountain lion is two Text Edit files and the Finder Desktop (and yes, I have checked almost all the programs I use, and of the things that Time Machine will open in, those are the only things that have backups listed that I can access) and almost 1gb is being taken up completely needlessly with the computer backing up things onto itself. Obviously these are more than just snapshots and are obviously the real files because after throwing EVERYTHING on my desktop into a file, that file is only 3.8mb in size, so that almost 1GB in backups is coming from SOMEWHERE.
The solution I aluded to in my first sentence also depends on going into the Terminal to make each individual app stop auto saving Versions, however, since my desktop is being backed up, there's no program to stop Mountain Lion from doing that.
Can anyone help me figure out how to make it stop backing up? Seriously, almost 1 gb is being totally wasted on a series of desktop items that are 3.8mb in size, one Text Edit file that is 250kb in size, and another text edit file that is 41kb in size. What person in Apple would possibly have thought this endless backing up of files onto the main hard drive would have been a good idea? So in a year if I did nothing but go on the internet, save one picture to one file on my desktop and did nothing else with my computer, would I have 200 gb of desktop backups that the computer saved onto itself? Are you kidding me? OR failing that, can anyone tell me how to find this damned backup file and delete it? I'm not an idiot, I know how to plug in a hard drive or flash drive and backup my information, I don't need my computer to be making hundreds of copies of every single file on my computer that I change slightly onto itself that not only needlessly eats up it's own space, but if the hard drive died, all those "backups" would be gone too because it wrote the backups to itself.
I am so frustrated by this totally ridiculous and wasteful "feature" they put in, it does nothing but waste hard drive space with it's hundreds of copies of everything you alter slightly. And I am absolutely not starting any video editing projects until I figure out how to turn this off. If around 4mb of total text and desktop backups add up to almost 1gb in a few weeks, what the heck is a video editing project going to end up in with size? Am I the only one completely flustered by this ridiculousness? Is there any point in writing into Apple to complain or are they just going to say "No, we're brilliant, we think this is an amazing feature so you just have to deal iwth it and when your hardd drive fills up, too bad, jerk!"?? Help! Thanks!

Well as I pointed out in my post, "Sadly, my Text Edit documents are still all there, every single time I opened them and made a small change, there is another copy stretching all the way back to the day I installed Mountain Lion." so if you can explain to me how July 26 - Aug 16 is a week, I will concede that it is a good idea. Short of that, no I have been capable of making my own backups since I was 16 years old (16 years ago) I don't need my computer to endlessly do it for me in a way I am completely unable to shut off. That's what I have external hard drives, flash drives, a DVD burner, Drop Box, E-mail (as in emailing copies to myself) and icloud for. If I am doing something and I don't have access to a single one of those options, I don't know why I brought my computer with me in the first place. And I don't see how you can say it's an illusory gain in disk space, hundreds of copies of text documents, garageband files, Final Cut files, Motion Files and basically any program that makes files onto my comptuer that I can myself make incremental changes to, those all need to be stored somehow. Again, if you can explain to me how July 26 - Aug 16 is a week, I will agree with you that that is a good thing because IF it only saved for a week, it wouldn't be an issue. Sadly, no matter how many links you post, I still have text edit backups stretching from today back to July 26. They're not going away and I have no reason to beleive any other file I edit is going to go away either since they haven't been. They're all there eating up HD space and this imaginary "week" limit is simply not coming into effect. I hate it and there needs to be a simple way to simply shut it off. I didn't spend hundreds of dollars on external drives just for my main hard drive to be filled up with hundreds un useless, undeletable backups of stuff I already have backed up.

How do you stop a movie from playing past the end?

I uploaded a video to Vimeo I made from various clips and there was about 40 seconds of black after the end. How do you add a marker so it knows where to stop and hopefull return to the beginning. I already put the 'stop' marker in but it plays past it in the elements editor and assume that's what it did in the uploaded video. I believe 'stop' marker is only for DVD play. I have Elements 11.

Expand the Timeline with the -+ slider above the Timeline. Make sure that the slider is all the way to the right so that you are at maximum expansion. Then, as Hunt suggested, hit the End key and inspect the area where the Timeline Indicator stops. These possible fragments/leftovers present typically as very thin vertical black lines scattered in the tracks. After you delete any such fragments, repeat the process to make sure you have all the fragments.
The major reason for me adding to this thread was to remind you never to put a stop marker at the end of the last item on the Timeline. It is a bad practice to fall into. It is not needed and creates all sorts of problems especially as seen in burn to disc.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

How would you reference respective video from diff class?

Hi. I wanted to get a couple of points of view (if you're willing to look ) on how others would do this because Im not sure where to even start.
I have a buttons class that puts 9 pictures on the stage and each one represents a different movie and leads to that movie when clicked (or will lead there once I figure out how to reference it to the specific movie).
I have 9 movies referenced through XML. And I am using flvPlayer. Currenly I can only have one movie loading. I am not sure how to get each one to play upon click of the respective btn.
Here is some of the code I think is pertinent if figuring how to go about this:
ProjectOneButtons class
//I have each picture loaded through an array and each button is waiting for the right code through a Switch statement:
public function onButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
     var releventImageAray:Array = this["rowOfImages" + MovieClip(e.currentTarget).row];
     var imageWanted:String = relaventImageArray[MovieClip(e.currentTarget).column];
     switch (imageWanted) {
          case "Video1" :
               //Have not figured out the specific video code in class below
               //This switch statement continues for the rest of the buttons.
               //this code works but it just loads one movie and so I don't think this is what I need.
               projectOneVideos = new projectOneVideos();
               addChild(projectOneVideos);
               projectOneVideos.x = 0;
               projectOneVideos.y = 0;
Here is the ProjectOneVideos class where the videos are loaded and played:
package asFiles.projectOne{
     //import statments taken out for post
     public class ProjectOneVideos extends Sprite {
          public var videoX:Number;
          public var videoY:Number;
          public var projectOneVideos:XMLList;
          public var projectOneTotal:Number;
          public var projectOneXML:XML;
          public var xmlLoader:URLLoader;
          public var player:FLVPlayback;
          public var playBtn:VideoPlayBtn;
          public var pauseBtn:VideoPauseBtn;
          public var videoContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip;
          public function ProjectOneVideos() {
               xmlLoader = new URLLoader();
               xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("projectOneVideos.xml"));
               xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
          public function processXML(e:Event):void {
               projectOneXML = new XML(e.target.data);
               projectOneVideos = projectOneXML.VIDEO;
               projectOneTotal = projectOneXML.length();
               makePlayer();
               addButtons();
          public function makePlayer():void {
               player = new FLVPlayback();
               player.skinBackgroundColor = 0x47ABCB;
               player.skinBackgroundAlpha = .85;
               player.x = 40.3;
               player.y = 220;
               player.width = 1200;
               player.height = 594.2;
               videoContainer.addChild(player);
               player.addEventListener("complete", backToVideoMenu);
          public function addButtons():void {
               trace("addButtons initiated");
               playBtn = new VideoPlayBtn();
               videoContainer.addChild(playBtn);
               playBtn.x = 625.6;
               playBtn.y = 930;
               pauseBtn = new VideoPauseBtn();
               videoContainer.addChild(pauseBtn);
               pauseBtn.x = 625.6;
               pauseBtn.y = 930;
               pauseBtn.visible = false;
               addChild(videoContainer);
               videoContainer.x = 0;
               videoContainer.y = 0;
               playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideo);
               pauseBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideo);
          public function playVideo(event:MouseEvent):void {
          // this is where I have the video referenced to play.
               trace("play/pause button clicked");
               if (player.playing || player.paused) {
                    if (player.paused) {
                         player.play();
                    } else {
                         player.pause();
                    playBtn.visible = player.paused;
                    pauseBtn.visible = ! player.paused;
               } else if (player.stopped) {
                    player.play();
                    playBtn.visible = false;
                    pauseBtn.visible = true;
               } else {
                                //this will obviously not work because then its just this one movie referenced
                    player.play("videos/projectOneVideos/videoOne.f4v", 0, false);
                    pauseBtn.visible = true;
                    playBtn.visible = false;
The reason I included a bunch of code is to show that there is a play/pause button that is supposed to play the movie. But the thing is I only have the one movie referenced and I am not sure how to have it variable as to which movie is played and make it depend on the button that is clicked from the button class above.
thanks for any input you can give!!!
Note: All of this code works as it is and I am getting no errors.

Ok, how about this:
After reviewing my code again, this is what I find.
I process the xml and then never use it when playing the video. To play the video I had just put the path straight to the video and not even used the xml. In the xml.
So I guess my question is how to I refer to the xml to load the video and then when dealing with the buttons lead to the right video from the xml.
kglad: Now I think I see why you were saying define a method of the ProjectOneVideos class that accepts a path/name string to the load target.
I think the code I need to change is:
     if (player.playing || player.paused) {
                    if (player.paused) {
                         player.play();
                    } else {
                         player.pause();
                    playBtn.visible = player.paused;
                    pauseBtn.visible = ! player.paused;
               } else if (player.stopped) {
                    player.play();
                    playBtn.visible = false;
                    pauseBtn.visible = true;
               } else {
           //this is the part that needs to be changed to recognize from the xml
                    player.play("videos/projectOneVideos/videoOne.f4v", 0, false);
                    pauseBtn.visible = true;
                    playBtn.visible = false;
But then I have to be able to pull the right video when I hit the button.
So, what tools should I be using?
