    Default Autoplay Feature for Mp4 on mobile devices with Xara 365

    Hi

    So i'm looking for a way to enable autoplay for videos on mobile devices using Xara 365? Is their a way around it.

    From the information i have gathered, it seems to be disabled by the mobile device browser so a user can control their data usage. Just wondering if their is a way around this without having to create a mobile version of the site.

    Any suggestions on a way around it. Thanks

    Sorry, I've no idea. Autoplaying of video / audio files is a no in my opinion. Bad practice.

    Totally agree with you. I'm starting to question it myself now.. I'm guessing other options are to create different versions of the video such as HTML5, Webm and upload via HTML although not sure if the auto load function will work again as it might have to be configured from the users browser setting.

    Anyway i'm having another issue i'm hoping you could help me out with please. I'm trying to use a Jpeg/Gif/Png as a flash placeholder so it doesn't display the 'plug in not supported grey box' when viewed on a mobile device and so uses an image instead however can't get it to work? Any idea what i'm doing wrong..

    i think you'll find these are all blocked by default so you have to assume your mobile visitor won't see it so you might as well forget about it
    never put important website info in animation or a sound file

    Try this. Never used it myself. Let's know if you get it to work

    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash data="yourmovie.swf" width="400" height="300">
    <param name="movie" value="yourmovie.swf" />
    <img src="noflash.gif" width="200" height="100" alt="" />
    </object>

    I wouldn't know but suspect it's a Safari thing.

    All autoplaying videos are blocked on all mobile devices (android or ios) (due to data limits) so it is not an option on ANY software, never seen a workaround for it at all.
