autoplay in VLC plugin

hello,

if i set autoplay to true, i can see my video and control it with the pause and stop buttons on the toolbar.

Code: Select all

<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" id="video1" autoplay="true" width="720" height="433" target="panorama.mpg" />
however, if autoplay is set to false, then the toolbar buttons are inactive and i can't even start the video.

Code: Select all

<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" id="video1" autoplay="false" width="720" height="433" target="panorama.mpg" />
why is that? i have a number of videos on the page, so i don't want them to start automatically, but now i'm not able to play them back.

Kubuntu 12.10 64-bit
Firefox 16.0.1
browser-plugin-vlc 2.0.0

update: interestingly, the buttons may be inactive, but i can invoke the context menu on the player and start the video from there. so again, why are the toolbar buttons inactive?

Simply make your own control buttons :)

There are plenty of controls available and the latest code has its own toolbar.
