Autoplay doesn’t work

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Troubleshooting › Autoplay doesn’t work

  • Robert 14 years, 2 months ago

    Sorry for so many of my postings this morning.

    I got it working great! I just have two issues.

    1) My video is going to be 480×360, and I made my thumbnail the same…there’s a black line on the left and top. How do I get rid of that?

    You can see what I mean here…

    2) I tried and tried and can’t get it to autoplay. I’ve set it to true in the settings and in the code, but it’s still not auto playing. How do I fix this?

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Hi Robert,

    the first problem you having is your own css. Sorry, I can’t fix that for you.

    The second issue: just remove the splash screen if you want to run autoplay. You can’t have autoplay and splash at the same time, splash screen has the priority here, so if you used splash, it is placed over the video and autoplay is supressed.

    Zdenka,

    Thank you so much. I can just delete the splash screen and it will solve both problems. It’s not a needed thing anyways.

    Thank you so very much for such a quick response, as well as this video player.

    Love you guys,
    Robert

    Hi Zdenka,

    Any known issues with the auto start for single videos? It does not see to be working for me.

    Thanks,

    Hi Tina,

    sorry no reported problems about autoplay. Please check if your shortcode is written correctly, if there are no hidden characters – witch to the source code view.

    Thanks Zdenka,

    Here’s my code (w/private info removed):

    [flowplayer src=http://www.sitename.com/movie name.m4v width=550 height=309 autoplay=true splash=http://www.sitename.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Splash.jpg]

    Is it right?

    Thanks again,

    Tina

    Hi Tina,

    do not use spaces in the directory/file names – I know the above is just an example, but just a reminder.

    Also if you use autoplay there’s no point of submitting the splash screen – think will be the problem, that the splash screen takes the advantage and the autoplay is not executed. Try to remove the splash.

    Hi Zdenka,

    That was it! The splash screen needed to be removed.

    Thank you so much for the awesome support you give your plugin! Do you have a donation button or something?

    Thanks,

    Tina

    thanks for your nice words, we’re happy to help!

    The donation button is at the top of the plugin page ;)
