Does anybody know what I have to do to make the autoplay of a web page with the activex plugin work? I have the autoplay of the <object> turned on, but I doesn´t work and I have to use the play button.
Thanks

i had the same problem with vlc 0.8.2-test2 (with 0.8.1 it autplay works!)
and resolved adding a script in the onload event of the page; example

<body onload="document.video1.play()">

thanks for the report. A ticket has been filed in our bug tracking database : https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/211 (this will be fixed before 0.8.2 is released)

I'm working on having multiple instances of VLC running in a browser and have come across a couple of bugs. Tested with the todays Win32 svn.

Autoplay is working fine with the activex plugin but seems to be broke in the mozilla plugin. I had to add <body onload="document.video1.play()"> to get Firefox 1.0.4 to autoplay (thanks to jonny-blts below).

The second bug I found exists in both plugins. When you use more than one instance of mute (ActiveX: <param name="Mute" value="True" /> or mozilla: mute="yes") the audio becomes un-muted. You can see in my below mozilla example that I have only one "mute="yes"" yet both streams are muted.

Working code with two video windows (audio muted on load)
activex - http://pastebin.com/301609
mozilla - http://pastebin.com/301610

Where can I find a list of commands for both plugins?
I'd like to have all streams muted and use doubleclick to fullscreen the video and un-mute at the same time.

Thanks,
Jason
