I am using embed tag in Mozilla. Video start playing on page load only. Autoplay (autoplay="false") is not helping me. Can any one help me please?
Thanks in advance !
<embed id="video1" src="Wildlife.wmv" type="application/mediaplayer" autoplay="false" width="470" height="280"></embed>
This is a know bug for Chrome and Firefox. Try using another source extension, .wmv
is also not valid for Mac users without Flip4mac
.
Also this bug can be fixed by using <object>
like this:
<object width="470" height="280" type="application/x-mplayer2">
<param name="fileName" value="Wildlife.wmv">
<param name="autostart" value="0">
</object>
The bug in the <embed>
can be caused by using the wrong type
, so move on to the better solution:
Best solution in this case
Then again, the best solution for using <embed>
is setting the plugin url
, type
and autostart
like this:
<embed type="video/x-ms-wmv" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" autostart="0" width="470" height="280" loop="0" src="Wildlife.wmv"></embed>
