Hi there,

I've got a locally hosted MP4 file where I'm trying to have it autoplay with:

So not modifying height or width which is set in the plugin config to 100% / auto.

The video doesn't autoplay and when I have the extra parameters in also doesn't generate a poster image, but the standard plugin code does... which you can see here... website isn't live - www.lucyloumothernurture.com/members

Any ideas why this isn't working?

Thanks

Nathan

Just to add to this... I tested turning on AutoPlay globally and they don't play either.

All that had the effect of doing was to disable the poster on the standard plugin code.

Ok maybe this is expected behaviour but it's odd... just discovered by accident that if I navigate away from the page and then go back to it, the video auto plays as it should.

However, if I just hit Refresh in the browser to reload the page... it doesn't autoplay... is that how it's meant to work?

Just to close this out myself... yes that's the expected behaviour after testing a few other methods... and in this case the video had a long fadein from black so hence no poster image.

All good now?

Thanks Fotis, all good.

Great :)

Maybe you have a corrupted file, didn't you check it?

I found a solution, if you select "Mute audio on initial playback" under video parameters in the plugin settings. Auto play works. Without doing that auto play would only work if I clicked on view frontend from backend of Joomla and/or if I was already on the page and clicked on the navigation link for the page to act as a reload of the page because just refreshing the page would not work. Thanks.

This is not an AllVideos issue, this is how browsers deal with media autoplaying. If the audio is muted, then auto-playback is allowed.
