Video autoplay

try and find a youtube channel where the videos dont autoplay? Right, the channel owner's probably lost his/her password a decade ago. Kids clowning round at home in their rooms churn up more unique visits with one video than most websites in a lifetime. Ad companies are falling over themselves for video pre-rolls, why? because at last, they've found something that works. And iphones brought us mobile video, now everybody's doing it. I wonder why?
Like, i'm trying to say video is important! But you wouldn't think it from the lack of interest at Muse. It's over a year since a fix for video autoplay was supposed to be implemented. Yes, i have looked back over Muse sites of the day and see very little demand for video. But you guys at Adobe are at the cutting edge of video on the internet. You know how important video is, so please, fix the autoplay function. The potential of video on Muse is huge.

That very little information to go on in order to make a recommendation. Can you please be a bit more clear on what you are trying to do. In what app? On the web? The more you can share the better we can help.

Is it possible HTML5 Video autoplay on DPS?

Hi all,
I created HTML5 Video autoplay web-content on DPS, but it doesn't play automatically on Adobe Content Viewer.
On mobile Safari, it works well.
Is it possible HTML5 Video autoplay on DPS?
Any suggestions are welcome.

No, this is wrong! Apple disabled autoplay inside their native safari app. It's not disable in the whole iOS. Adobe uses a so called UIWebView. It's like mobile safari but with options adobe as a developer can set in the code for dps/content viewer.
So using the webOverlay in dps, adobe utilises said UIWebView (behind the scenes/in code) from Apple and UIWebView has an option to enable autoplay - adobe did NOT choose to enable it. The option is called "mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction" and is YES by default. By that, ignoring a provided autoplay tag and requiring a real User tap (js clicks dont work since 4.x). Adobe could have set it to "no" and we could use the autoplay tag inside video elements to enable it ourselves.
Why didn't they? I don't know. It would have been ONE line of code. ;(
For placed videos, it is actually also just ONE line of code to enable it. (though they would need to change overlay creator and add checkbox, so we could enable and disable on a per video basis).
cheers,

How do I turn off video autoplay in Internet Explorer?

I do not want any kind of videos or animations to play unless I choose to click on the "Play" button.
This includes Flash, HTML5, GIF, MP4, or any type of video that may be invented.
What would be ideal is to have a new set of controls in Internet Options that would allow the user to control/override the video controls in all web pages.
For example, HTML5 has the <video> ... </video> element that has certain attributes:
autobuffer
autoplay
controls
loop
The user should be able to control each these attributes on a global basis for all web pages. For example:
Control Panel
Internet Options
Advanced tab
Video options (new category)
autobuffer - yes or no (new option)
autoplay - yes or no (new option)
controls - yes or no (new option)
loop - yes or no (new option)

Hi,
web designers make the choice to annoy you or not with autoplay or scripted autoplay content.
Contact the website administrators to make your complaints or add the sites to your IE Restricted sites zone which will stop some annoyances but not all... Ensure also that you have turned on Tracking Protection and ActiveX Filtering (Tools menu in IE).
Possibly a developer could create an extension for IE that would do all that you want sites not to do, but I don't know of any, and generally recommend addons free browsing.
Post general questions about IE to http://answers.microsoft.com. Include with your questions the full address of any websites you are having issues with. This allows the support engineers to visit the problem sites
to investigate and make recommendations.
this forum was for questions about html, css and scripting for website developers using MSIE browsers.

How to stop video Autoplay when opened in new tab (before clicking on the tab)

In Firefox on my old PC, and Safari on the current Mac, if I open a video in a new tab, the video would not auto-play, until I clicked on the tab. On Firefox on the Mac the video just auto plays. This is pretty annoying when I open 4 or 5 videos in different tabs and they all start playing. I want to click on the tab before it starts playing.
As safari on the Mac does not play the videos automatically, I am hoping there is a way to stop it on Firefox?
So an example is metacafe.com. If you open a video in a new tab, the video will start playing automatically, whether you click on the tab or not.
If you open up the same site in safari, and open the video in a new tab, the video will only start playing once you have clicked on the tab.

...still blooming me!
Who else the autoplay helps?
Internet Service Providers for customers that have a 'LIMITED' monthly bandwidth.
It makes you waste a lot of it and 'force' you to buy more EXTRA and not needed allowance!
But above all that. WHAT ABOUT OUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE ?
Is democracy completely dead?

Syntax small fix (video autoplay and loop)

Hi, for the life of me I don't know where to put the autoplay and loop, here's my current attempt. the video loads but it doesnt play
vid.html('<video id= "video1" style="position: absolute;bottom: 0px; right: 0px; min-width: 100%; min-height: 100%; width: auto; height: auto; overflow: hidden" >' +
"<source src='video/video.mp4' type='video/mp4' autoplay= 'autoplay' loop= 'loop'/>" +
"<source src='video/video.webm' type='video/webm' autoplay= 'autoplay' loop= 'loop'/>" +
"<source src='video/video.ogg' type='video/ogg' autoplay= 'autoplay' loop= 'loop'/>" +
"</video>");
What am I doing wrong? (Apart from not understanding any code whatsoever!)

You need the autoplay and loop in the video part of the code like this:
<video preload="auto" autoplay="true" loop="true" width="100%" height="auto">
How ever I do this in a completely different way 1st I set up a Html page holding the video and the code then I embed the video into Edge with an Iframe like so:
Html page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<style type="text/css">
#video_background {
position: absolute; bottom: 0px; right: 0px; min-width: 100%; min-height: 100%; width: auto; height: auto; z-index: -1000; overflow: hidden; }
</style>
<div id="video_background"><video preload="auto" autoplay="true" loop="true" muted="true" volume="0" width="100%" height="auto">
<source src="folio.webm" type="video/webm">
<source src="folio.ogg" type="video/ogg">
<source src="folio.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video></div>
</body>
</html>
JQuery:
var container = sym.$('#Stage_Iframe');
var Video = ' <iframe width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="video.html"></iframe>'
container.html(Video);

Video autoplays in Firefox when shouldn't

Autoplay is set to "false" when exporting the movie. In IE
this is fine, but for some reason Firefox autoplays the video. I
have 3 videos on the same page, so this can not happen! If anyone
has any advice about this that would be terrific.
Mark

Hey,
The problem has been identified. It was actually user error
from a friend who was checking it for me in Firefox and reporting
the problem. It turns out they were checking the wrong page! Thanks
for offering to look into this for me.
Best wishes,
Mark

Flash video autoplay

I am attempting to put a Flash video banner on a page without
a skin that will play 1 time automatically upon loading, then stop
at the last frame. When I insert it as a Flash video, it works
fine, but I have a skin which I don't want. I attempted to edit out
code that refers to the skin, but it just breaks the playback. As I
understand, I need to embed the video into a .swf file to avoid
using skins - true? When I do this, it plays locally just fine, but
on the server it doesn't go beyond the 1st frame. Do I need to do
something in Flash to make it autoplay or is there a parameter in
DW that I need to change?

I have the same problem! Please, help us!

Turn off video autoplay?

I'm using Captivate 6, and I've inserted a welcome video into my project. I was able to add closed captions, but the problem I'm having now is that the slide automatically plays the first two seconds of the video, then stops and waits for the user to click play.
What SHOULD happen is the video shouldn't be played at all until the user clicks on play. I've searched the forums and have tried all of the tricks mentioned there (uncheck autoplay, etc), but none of it is working.
How can I stop the slide playing the video automatically?
Thanks!

Hi Lilybiri,
Yes, the video is imported. I found another way of doing it before I read your suggestion, which is to pause the button at the very beginning of the slide.
That said, I've now got the opposite problem with an interactive timeline; it pauses so that the user has to click play on the playbar, when I want it to flow just like the other slides! Not sure how to fix this bit yet, but we'll see!
Thanks,
CCM

Video autoplay and audio autoplay not possible simultaneously?

Hi,
I've got a article with a video set to autoplay immediatly and a audio set to play immediatly.
But when audio starts video stopps playing. Is this expected behaviour¿
v31 IOS8
Thx in advance
Hans

Yes, that's expected behavior. Playing a media clip stops any other media clip.

Video Autoplay when Interactive button added

I am having an issue with a video slide auto playing when a interactive button is added.
From the first slide of the project I have an interactive index that jumps to different slides. When it jumps to another slide the video slide will auto play, but when adding an interactive button to jump back to the home page the video no longer auto plays.
I have added SS to show the index and the video slide.

Just a guess here, but typically a button has a pause built into it. So you may need to check and adjust exactly where the pause is occurring.
Cheers... Rick

When using Safari on my IPhone 4S videos in Tumblr all seem to autoplay causing the app to crash if there is a page with a lot of videos.

This started one day out of the blue before I updated to ios 8.0. The videos used to pull up with the "play" arrow, and you would click on it to play. Then, one day they all seemed to all load and start playing by themselves. If it is a page with a lot of videos, I get an error that says "a problem occured with this page so it was reloaded". It then reloads over and over and over, then the app shuts down and goes back to the home screen.
I never changed any settings or anything. It just changed one day. I updated to ios 8.1 thinking this might fix it, but it didn't. I even did a restore, and still nothing.
Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure this is a new feature of their site - videos autoplay on modern browsers now. Download the Google Chrome app and see if the issue persists. My guess is it will and there's nothing you can do. It's not an issue with your phone.

AIR for iOS, Getting HTML5 Video to Autoplay in a StageWebView?

Hi all,
The video performance I get from the built in FLV video is pretty poor. I'm considering using a StageWebView to display a HTML5 page with a standard <video> in it.
The video shows up and (if I enable controls) can be played and it looks great (much better than FLV). The only issue is I cannot find a way to have the video autoplay once the StageWebView is loaded.
I've set the <video .... autoplay> parameter. I've also tried using JavaScript to send a video.play() (after the window load event is complete and the DOM is ready).
Has anyone figured this out?
I can't wait for AIR3.0 so we can just use StageVideo.. But for now I'm using AIR2.7 via Flash CS5.5 publishing for an iPad2 via AIR for iOS.
Thanks for any tips!

This was a pretty old post. In the advent of StageVideo it doesn't really matter anymore. StageVideo is GPU and you can autoplay all you like.
BTW there was an old project I'm unsure if it still exists but it was called StageWebViewBridge (SWVB) that reconnected AS3 and JS. You could call methods in JavaScript right from ActionScript the same way fscommand/externalInterface works. So you could force the video to start playing using that.

Safari Autoplay embedded video | iOS 4.2.1

It seems that Apple in it's wisdom have plugged up all of the workarounds to autoplay an embedded video within Safari and completely locked it down. While I understand there could be issues of uninitiated content over 3G there may be situations where the user has consented to the content before they've reached the page. It would be a better idea to have this as a user option in Safari settings. In any case I could link directly to an mp4 file and it will autoplay so it kind of defeats Apple's reasoning.

Apple is playing games here. There have been work-arounds for the autoplay issue that worked with earlier versions of iOS and have since been "cleaned up" by Apple. This shows that having this feature available threatens some position of theirs, in the grand scheme of things. It takes effort to write-out as it does to write-in.
So why not have a opt-in system for video auto play. Similar, in operation and "location" within the settings interface of iOS, to the "Fetch new Data" dialogue. This would take care of the posited argument of "mobile users being hit by unwarranted band-with charges due to video autoplay". This is exactly what is being addressed by "Fetch new Data" settings.
The only reason I can logically think of here with all of the info I've been able to glean on the subject is that video autoplay is the only arguable point within the whole HTML5-CSS-JS framework that can keep the iOS App at any form of advantage, by Apple excluding its functionality in mobile Safari.

Replay video in Muse (some controls doesn't work)

Hello colleagues,
Can't understand what is happening. I put a video in the Animate and assign controls for buttons (for example, replay video from 0:00 sec). For stage and video autoplay function are disabled.
Then I export the oam-file and insert it into the Muse with a Scroll Effect "Edge Animate" (Autoplay) to play the video at a certain point. Video starts correctly, but some controls doesn'n work, for example, "replay video". Along with this function "Toggle video play/pause" works correcly.
Actually, I want to loop video playback but it doesn't work in the Muse (Loop function for a video).
Can anybody recommend a solution?
Thanks!

Hello Joe,
This is very interesting, but when I upload the project from Muse to my FTP-server, everything is working properly in all of browsers, all of controls and loop for the video clip. I found it by accident when I lost all hope. In other words, the problem is only when previewing the page in a browser (via the built-in local server). Maybe this is a question for the team Muse? Anyway I can send it in PM.
Thanks for your reply,
Alexander

Video playback in Cp6

Has anyone had issues with video playback in 6? I have MP4 videos that continue to play after a user has navigated away from the page. This results in two audio tracks playing simultaneously. We have removed any direct video controls and have the videos autoplay when the user enters the slide. Further, I have removed the playbar, as it seemed that scrubbing the slide was affecting the video playback. We are using the CoolBlue skin and playback panel.
Any advice?
Jon

Hi there,
Captivate 6.0.1.240 is not tested on Windows 8, only the latest release that is 6.1.0.319 is tested on Windows 8.
Are you viewing your project from inside the zip?
To test it locally unzip that zipped folder and then play course and check whether there is any difference?
Thanks.
