autoplay in VLC plugin

[misaced]

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.
