Stop videos from automatically playing

When I navigate to any number of sites, videos sometimes up to 8 of them will all begin playing. It's crazy. I've lost control of my browser. Is there a way to prevent videos, flash or otherwise from automatically playing. I've already installed click to flash, but that only accounts for half the content being pushed at me.

Hello,
I am not sure which widget you are using but you can try the suggestions in the steps below to add videos to a muse site.
Also make sure you have mp4 or webm file format.
To import video in Muse you can use following steps.
1. Import Video to Asset tab
Go to File > Add Files to upload and select the file that you want to import. This will copy the file in asset tab in muse.
2. Insert HTML code :
     a. Go to the page on which you want to place the video.
     b. Go to Object > Insert HTMl
     c. Paste the code mentioned below and update the <filename> with your file name
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
   <source src="assets/<Filename>.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
Hope this will help you what you desire to achieve.
Regards
Vivek

How to stop videos from automatically playing in safari?

Recently, when I open various web pages in Safari 7.0.6, running OS 10.9.4 videos will start playing immediately. Sometimes 4 or 5 on one page all at once. I did a search for this issue and found the suggestion to run click to flash. I have it installed and turn on so that isn't a solution at this time. Another suggestion was for clicktoplugin but I do not find one with that name.
This is very annoying as they often come on very loudly and I have to scroll up and down the page trying to find the window or windows with the videos playing. They can be way down at the bottom of the pages.
Can anyone help me fix this?

Click to Plugin is what I use. It is available here:

I set the preferences to pre-load but NOT play even after I click on something I want to see.

How to stop Flash from automatically playing videos?

Some web pages have, either for advertisement or content, a box playing videos automatically. An example is Yahoo Finance playing Bloomberg videos. It costs bandwidth on some devices. I was not able to find any way to stop it. Some advices found elsewhere recommended checking ActiveX Filtering. In Yahoo case it doesn’t work. What else can be done to stop this behavior? Windows 8.1, IE11, FP 16.0.0.235.

I revive this question. Maybe this time somebody will know the answer.

How can I control a video from automatically playing in Foxfire?

I'm tired of those pesky video ads running and eating up my bandwidth while loading when visiting sites. Is there a way I can control when to allow a video to load and play using Foxfire or IE? For those that do not have high speed internet and rely on dial-up or cell modem to connect, those ads really slow down a page from loading. HELP!

You're welcome

How do I prevent flash videos from automatically playing?

Whenever I open a new link to youtube, collegehumor, various tv websites, etc. firefox always automatically starts playing the video even before i even look at that tab. Sometimes when firefox freezes I have a few video tabs open and when it starts back up, a few videos start playing at once.
Is there a way to turn this off? I'd like to manually control when these videos play.

Stop audio from automatically playing with slide starts

can someone assist me with this. I want to create a button and use it to play and pause the audio.

Sorry, if you cannot translate it to your use case. But this was your question ' I want to create a button and use it to play and pause the audio' and that is what I explained in that blog post.
I'm just a user like you, and your answer is blessing, because I literally answered your question and now you insult me. Will not bother you anymore.

Feature Request - Ability to prevent videos from auto playing in Browser

This one isn't totally specific to the Classic, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
Currently, when visiting sites such as CNN or CTV News in the BlackBerry Browser and you open an article with a video, it will be begin playing automatically. This can be annoying if you're in a library for example as the sound can be disturbing, but most importantly it's a waste of mobile data.
I would like to see a feature added to the Browser's settings that would be able to prevent any videos from automatically playing to prevent such scenarios from occurring.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the detailed feedback @Zeridialous
I’ll raise this internally to see what can be done to help save bandwidth. Thanks!

Is there any way to stop websites from auto-playing their content (music/videos) when the page loads?

Certain websites have ads or content that plays music or videos and they are not always easily found to turn off. This also slows down my connection as it is constantly streaming or buffering and I have no way of stopping it. Is there any way that I can disable the websites from automatically playing their content?

Is there any other options for this?
I don't want to block the audio/video, and I do use ad-blocker... However, it's just really annoying when I "open link in new tab" for something I want to look at a little later. Especially if I open several at once, I get multiple tabs playing audio and/or video, and sometimes it takes a while to figure out which tab is doing what...
The issue is I don't want to "block" them -- I just don't want them to play until either the tab is "activated" by clicking on it, or better yet, to only play when I click on the audio/video link.
Thanks!

How do I stop videos from autoplaying

I am trying to stop videos embedded in web pages from automatically playing.
I am using NFL.COM as a test site, since nearly every article has an embedded autoplay video at the top.
I have Ghostery and Adblock plus installed.
After searching here and on the web generally, I have tried the following steps and have restarted Firefox and tested after each step (whether required or not):
1. Checked that plugins.click_to_play is set to true as per one archived thread on here;
2. Installed mediaconnectivity 0.9.4;
3. Installed Stoptube 0.2.1;
4. Switched media.autoplay.enabled to false.
Nothing has worked.
Any suggesttions would be greatly appreciated.

How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

Hi, well as the title states:
How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
It's getting on my nerves...
Thanks.

This might also be helpful:
I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.

set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2

How do I stop iTunes from automatically importing songs I listen to from my external hard drive into the music library?

How do I stop iTunes from automatically importing songs I listen to from my external hard drive into the music library?

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

How do I stop firefox from automatically placing the cursor in a textbox?

How do I stop Firefox from automatically placing the cursor in a text box? On certain pages such as Google.com the cursor will be moved to the search text box automatically after a couple seconds from the page loading. So I'll be typing in the address bar or something and then half of what I am typing in the address bar becomes cut off and starts being entered in the Google.com text box for search. The same happens on Facebook.com and the cursor is automatically moved to the Status Update text box. I assume this is a built in "feature" of the web page, but it's damn annoying. Especially when I start typing in my status update box on Facebook before the page completely loads and then halfway through typing (once the page is done loading) my cursor is moved to the starting position of the text area and my text is cut off.
Just the be clear the actual mouse pointer isn't being moved, just the prompt for entering text.
How can this be stopped?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started since I can remember

This problem has grown worse over the last couple of years. I use Firefox on Mac and Windows. I consider this problem to be a bug. Here's why: Event Driven interfaces, e.g., OSX and Windows, are never supposed to change typing-cursor focus WHILE SOMEONE'S TYPING!!!
Firefox allows websites to change focus WHILE USERS TYPE!
Hey, sorry for the caps, but I haven't used those for awhile and that's kind of fun. But really, more and more websites steal typing-cursor focus WHILE USERS TYPE.
Efff them, but really, Eff Firefox for allowing this.
It's almost like a symptom of our hyper scattered age where our attention jumps here and there.
But really... I love Firefox, some of my best friends are Firefox, they're good people, don't get me wrong, but damn it, WHEN SOMEONE IS TYPING THE UNASSAILABLE RULE OF EVENT DRIVEN DESIGN IS NOTHING ELSE SHOULD CHANGE FOCUS WHILE SOMEONE IS TYPING!!!!
FIX THIS PLEASE.
Oh, I just ran out of capital letters. :) :) :)

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.
I listen to primarily classical music
All of my music was very deliberatley titled by composers "Last Name, First Name" as the artist.
iTunes is changing it to the Album Artist. I have to go in and delete that information - AND THEN IT LATER REVERTS IT BACK!!!
Hours have been wasted and I am feeling so ticked.
Any help?

Purchased or ripped media?
If these are ripped mp3s then another possibility is multiple embedded tags. iTunes works best with a single ID3v2.3 tag. Some software creates both an ID3v1.0 and IDv2.x tag. With multiple tags it is not certain which iTunes reads or which it updates, and any device may choose differently. Once songs have the correct info. in iTunes you can use Convert ID3 Tags... None several times, then Convert ID3 Tags... v2.3. The process removes any embedded art but otherwise preserves the data that iTunes knows. You could use my script CreateFolderArt before and after to save and then restore the artwork.
In the long run you may be better off populating Album Artist properly with a copy of whatever is currently in Artist. My script CopyArtistToAlbumArtist can do this effectively.
