How do I stop video autoplay in Firefox 37? - html

I need the controls, but don't want the video to autoplay.
The code below, doesn't work.
<video id="Video1" poster="assets/img/bg-header.jpg" autoplay="false"
controls autostart="false">
Thanks,
Sabin

Html5 videos don't autoplay by default.
Remove autoplay="false".

HTML Video Not Playing Audio

I am trying to play an mp4 file I have stored locally on my computer (when I play it with quicktime it works perfectly). For some reason however I can't get it to work with sound. If I include the 'muted' keyword, the mp4 plays, however with no sound (makes sense). However if I remove the 'muted' keyword, it doesn't play at all.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Here is my code:
<video id="introVideo" width="50%" height="100%" autoplay loop muted>
<source src="../static/myvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
Did you tried with another web browser? Because autoplay is not allowed and even more on sounds with Chrome
This may be a little late, but starting in Chrome 66 autoplay doesn't work unless the muted attribute is included.
So in Chrome you can autoplay a muted video or autoplay won't work.

Search for 'autoplay' in the chromium blog link.

Volume button is disabled in video while showing in chrome using HTML

I want to play a .mkv format video in chrome using html, but audio button is shown as disabled like in below image -
HTML code -
<html>
<video controls height="100%" width="100%"
src="myvideo.mkv"
autoplay muted="false" type="video/mkv">
</video>
</html>
I am not able to listen audio. Draging and droping video in chrome browser is also having the same problem.
You should remove muted property from your tag
<video controls height="100%" width="100%"
src="video.MKV"
autoplay type="video/mkv">
</video>

Video not autoplaying when i use poster image

I have a simple problem.
I want to use an image until the video downloads to cache. And after video download is finished, the video must autoplay. So, I used "poster" attribute for image. But now video autoplay is not working.
<video width="100%" height="100%" autoplay loop poster="img/loading.gif">
<source src="img/myvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
I don't want to use "controls" attribute. How can I solve this problem?
Could potentiality be this Google chrome disables autoplay
Chrome and i believe Firefox have disabled autoplay on websites. Users have to allow video's to be autoplayed.

Chrome not autoplaying video

I'm using autoplay video sporadically throughout a client's site, however the below code is (for some reason), not autoplaying in Chrome(63.0.3239.132). Works fine in Safari and FF.
I am not getting any console errors either?
<video src="https://player.vimeo.com/external/247833422.hd.mp4?s=8d872a36d3dbe7f74e9613ab144d088b5bab6649&profile_id=174" poster="" preload autoplay loop muted></video>
Quick fix for Chrome:
<video src="https://player.vimeo.com/external/247833422.hd.mp4?s=8d872a36d3dbe7f74e9613ab144d088b5bab6649&profile_id=174" id="video1" poster="" preload autoplay loop muted></video>
<script>
document.getElementById('video1').play();
</script>
In addition to this, set the video to muted <video autoplay loop muted><source...
According to google chrome's policy unmuted videos will not auto play or programmatically play. To auto play video just mute your video by add muted attribute like below :
<video autoplay loop muted="muted"></video>

video in html not working in safari browser

I have wordpress home page where I added video tag.
This is source code.
<video id="video1" width="auto" autoplay loop controls="false">
<source src="Browser#2x.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
Here, what the important is controls="false" and autoplay loop,
I want to hide controls and autoplay with looping.
It work well in chrome but not working in safari.
It weird at first I open it on safari it works but if I reopen, it doesn't.
I want to know how to solve this and if I have to use other video file type, what should I use?
Try this:
<video loop autoplay controls="true" id="video1" src='Browser#2x.mp4' type='video/mp4'></video>
