Autoplay embedded channel?

[Serge]

How to have the embedded channel player start automatically without
pressing play button?
It has auto_play param in flashvars, but player not reacting to it for
some reason.


Thanks.

What language are you using to call it?

I may assist you somehow, but need more details

Perhaps some code snippets would help.

Cheers,

If you are referring to the embed code available on the channel itself, the embed player’s autoplay is disabled.

It's being called with the embed code from the channel,

Some code: "channel==$channel?&auto_play=true&start_volume=25" />"
Figured those flashvars would do the trick. (From here:

Thanks,

Serge

Autoplay is not currently enabled on Embeds for security reasons. You can, however, use the API swf and pass your key in to recreate autoplay.

Do we need to create custom flash wrapper to load the player like it
shows in Live Video SWF Docs? No other ways of setting it without
getting into the swf?

Yup, I agree. I would prefer not being dependant on a js library to
set a key. if its just a global variable in the flash obj.SetVariable
("something","devkey") then that would be cool.

Sorry, there was an answer in the threads. :) in the url/andor?
flashvars of the embed..tack on the end &consumer_key=[yourkey]
&auto_play=true and it will work. :) As mentioned by someone else on
a different thread. I've tried this and it indeed does work.

Hey Scootz -

We've actually released (but apparently failed to document well) the same capability for our embed player. Just add your api key to the flashvars (as consumer_key=XXXXXX) and set autoplay (as auto_play=true) and you will be able to autoplay with the embed!
