AutoPlay in firefox

I have embedded the plugin in a test page with <object> and <embed> tags to support mozilla / windows.
I set Autoplay to yes / True to start the clip playing immediately.
It works fine for IE and Netscape, however in Firefox it dosent AutoPlay.
I can start it with a play control, which means I can use a script to start it playing when the page loads.
But I was just wondering if this was a bug?

Be sure that autoplay is set BEFORE the file loads, or set it to 'andgo' when you load it

I can't get autoplay to work either. I can get it to play using the href java link. My end goal is to only have the video on the page with a few controls for the Axis camera that the stream is coming from. Here's the code I'm using which is from the online documentation sample but I changed the target link.
Code: Select all
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" name="video1"
autoplay="yes" loop="no"
target="rtsp://192.168.0.15/mpeg4/1/media.amp" height="240" width="320">
<br>
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="document.video1.play()">Play
video1</a> <a href="javascript:;"
onclick="document.video1.pause()">Pause video1</a> <a
href="javascript:;" onclick="document.video1.stop()">Stop
video1</a> <a href="javascript:;"
onclick="document.video1.fullscreen()">Fullscreen</a>

Does this site autoplay for you: web.mit.edu/alecr/www/cwf ?
It autoplays for me in Firefox on Linux with the latest vlc-svn build but does not autoplay with vlc-0.8.5 (downloaded from videolan) on OSX or XP.

It doesn't autoplay on Safari or Firefox on the Mac but did start to play when I clicked play. This was with version 0.12 of the plugin.

I just installed the latest nightly windows build (
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... 60625-0001) and autoplay now works for me in XP + Firefox...
