"YouTube-style" Play button on video

I've successfully published a video but whenever I try to
embed it in an HTML page, the video plays immediately when I open
the page. I would like to have the video stopped by default with a
big, "YouTube-style" Play button in the middle of the screen that
users could click to get things started. Did I miss a setting
somewhere that allows me to do this?
Thanks,
Sterling

Welcome to our community, Sterling
To pause a Captivate slide, you insert a Click Box or a
Button object. Either of those should normally stop the slide from
advancing until your user clicks to allow play to resume.
For the image, you may wish to fashion one that you
superimpose on the slide and possibly allow some transparency.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't

My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't now. I just went to my churches web site to watch live service and again no sound. I grabbed my dads iPad and the sound works fine.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

I inserted a HTML5 video in page, when I test it in a Browser, I see the poster image and controls, But when I click play button the video goes white, slider moves like its playing, but just white picture. There was no audio included in video. Please help

Without a link, it's anybody's guess.
It could be a problem the video rendering itself. Which software did you use?
Did you export to the 3 file types -- MP4, OGG and WEBM to support all browsers?
Does your web server support those 3 MIME file types?

How to remove play button after videos starts

In the style of the youTube video playback design, I have a
large play button over my 320x240 flv video. The button is
programmed to play the flv when clicked on. How do I get rid of the
button once the video starts to play? can I bring it back when the
video is over to replay? Is there simple action script to tell the
button to do this?

How to do it step-by-step? Because i'm beginner in FLash and that things of animation, codes, functions...
And I create that simple animation in other program, not using the Adobe Flash, but I think can be edited that file animation in Flash because I have the files ".swf" and ".flv"...
I don't know how to do it in Adobe Flash CS3, but I have that program installed in my pc, then can you talk me what to do it?
Sorry my bad english, i'm from Brazil.
That is the folder contains the files:

Whenever i try to play a video on my iphone, it pauses literally every 2 seconds. i will hit the play button, the video will play for a few seconds and then it will pause again. what can i do to fix this?

videos will play for a few seconds on my iphone then it pauses. i press play and it pauses again. why is it doing this? and this is for all videos: youtube vides, videos off the internet, videos ive downloaded from itunes

I can understand this with videos you are streaming, i.e. maybe you have a slow data connection.
Videos on your phone should not do this. Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Youtube keeps playing the same video in chrome

Hi,
When i hit backspace or go to the main page in youtube while watching a video, it just keeps playing it. It only occurs in chrome and i've disabled flash so it's not that. did anyone experience something like this?

I confirm your observation that iRadio plays the same tracks far too often and when it plays songs from my Library, one is blessed to hear commercials as a bonus. Thus far, my expectations of iRadio has not been met, having to go back to Pandora which has their act together. Nothing ventured, nothing lost. Pandora app for iPad and iPhone also works well with Airport Express and Ford Sync.

Video play button disappears after press

I am trying to create an onscreen video play button that
disappears after activation. I've created a Youtube looking play
button that covers my flv. I've used simple action script with the
button to play the video when pressed. What action script do I add
to tell the play button to disappear once the play button is
pressed and to reappear once the video is done playing?

Hi Nick,
I have attached the file that is causing me the problem. Basically I wrote a vi that can read a .TDMS file on the target RT PXI, and view it in a graphical format with the ability to view multiple channels.
I'm not sure if it will run on your PC as there are some file paths that need to be set, but I think it can be changed easily.
To replicate the problem:
Run the VI, go to the second tab and open some .TDMS file, hit the OPEN button. Resize the window, and try pressing any of the enabled buttons on either tab after the window resize. 90% of the time the button should just disappear after pressing it.
The "Channel" list table should also disappear when one try to select any of the items after a window resize etc.
Thank you very much.

I cannot activate the play button on a video in firefox using the keyboard

I am blind and use a screen-reader called JAWS For Windows to navigate the internet. Because I am blind I cannot use a mouse and rely on the keyboard to navigate and interact with web pages. I tend to play a lot of video for business reasons. I can, using internet explorer, navigate to and press the play button in websites such as Youtube. However this is not possible using firefox. I sometimes have occasion to use video download helper and in order to download I have to play the video first and unless there is someone around who can click the play button with a mouse I cannot do this. Any ideas? I have tried on two different computers, 1 is a netbook running IE8 with Windows 7 starter edition and the other is a desktop running Windows XP Home SP3. I would much prefer to be using firefox on a permanent basis as it also gives me access to a plugin which deals with Captcha Images.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*"View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

How to setup the Safari (browser) to be able play all the video on youtube?

How to setup the Safari (browser) to able play all the video on youtube? On Screen: Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Thanks.

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin which is unrelated to either iPhone or IMovie.
Uninstall your current copy of Flash then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Relaunch your browser. Empty the browser cache. If you use Safari, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache

Video content missing on ipad... play buttons greyed out

There was a similar thread but answer did not apply. I have videos that are fromatted to play on ipad and play in itunes well. When sync to ipad you can see the ipad increase in file size from the added video. When you open the video app to view the videos all is seen is greyed out video image with title underneath. click on that image, and the play button is greyed out. Even though the running time appears, the file size is 0. I know the content is on the ipad because it shows the space being used by those files. Where are they? i look in the music app, no luck.
I did plug in the ipad to computer and view the files that way (in left hand side of itunes where you view files on devices ) and those particular video files are greyed out there as well. Please help. So frustrating trying to find an answer.
I have tried deleting the files from ipad and resyncing did not work. Thanks

Update:
After further inspection: it seams the video contnet is not being transferred but only the video file image and title. Discovered this after unplugging and repluggin and saw the file size in ipad decrease because there were no video files. Thanks for you help
Still need a solution. Thanks

Can't see video on my web page, just click to play button...

Hello!
I just made my first video tutorial and created a Quicktime video. I also made it web ready, which created a folder with the "how to," a poster image, etc. I read the directions and viewed the code for adding it to my web site, but I am new to HTML, etc. and seem to be doing something wrong. All I get is the "Click to Play Button" when I view my page in the browser.
I want to add a link on my blog that will open the page with the video on it in a browser window so it can be viewed. Like this one:
http://cdn.libsyn.com/cspodcast/podcast-BR-flatview.mp4
If anyone can help, here is the link to the page where I have the code:
http://robenmariesmith.com/psactionstutorial.htm
Much appreciated!!
RM

Here is what I did...
1. I created the video in Snapz Pro. Then I saved it to my desktop.
2. Next, I uploaded the image file, which is a .mov file to my web site. I put mine in a folder called img.
3. Now this is the best part, go to this web site:
http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/step2_qtv2.php?mediatype=QuickTime
4. I selected Web Server and then went to the next screen. On the next screen, add the web server name and the file path. I am a newbie so I made the mistake of adding the entire file path. You only need to add the info. after the web name. Example:
My web server is: http://www.robenmariesmith.com
My file path is: img/tutorials/PSActionsTutorial.mov
Select the pixel image size for your largest image for width and height.
Make the other selections that it requests and click Submit.
5. On the next screen you can actually test your media. If all is working, copy and paste the code into your web site.
Let me know if you need any more help and I will help if I can!
Cheers,
RM
