That is not strictly true.  HTML5 autoplay is disabled.  There should still be
a play button you can click to get it to play, in most cases.  There are a few
sites where you need autoplay enabled to get the video to play even after you
click the play button, but I have an extension that gives me a button to
toggle the setting.


By default, I have media.autoplay.enabled set to false.  When there is a
video I want to play, I use PrefBar to change it to true (selecting a
checkbox on the PrefBar tool bar).  I then reload the Web page, and the
video plays.


How do you change "autoplay.enabled" (or not) in PrefBar?  I don't have
that option in my 'PrefBar Options'...  Is that one I didn't include at
the time of installation -- and how can I get in my PrefBar now?



It is a checkbox that I created and added to PrefBar.  Creating such
checkboxes is easy.

If you want my checkbox, do the following:

1.  Go to .

2.  Right-click on HTML5_media.btn, select "Save Link Target As" from
the pull-down context menu, and indicate in the resulting window where
you want to download the file.

3.  Right-click on the PrefBar tool bar, and select "Customize PrefBar"
in the pull-down context menu.

4.  In the list of PrefBar objects on the right side of the PrefBar
window, under Enabled Items, right-click and select Import in the
pull-down context menu.

5.  In the resulting window, navigate to where you saved
HTML5_media.btn, select the file, and then select the Open button.

6.  The checkbox will have been added to the bottom of the Enabled Items
list as "HTML5 Media".  You can drag it up to another position, which
will determine where on the PrefBar toolbar it will appear.

With a checkmark in the checkbox, HTML5 media is enabled.  With no
checkmark, it is disabled.

After inporting the checkbox into PrefBar, you can deleted the
HTML5_media.btn file from where you downloaded it.  In two weeks, I will
remove the file from my Web site.



I have gone to your site and download HTML_media.btn and installed and
everything went great. However, it is at the bottom of the list how do I
move up the list?

What am I overlooking?

Thank you,
Danny



See my step #6.  You do that in the PrefBar window that was launched in
step #3.




Yes, I saw that but though I misunderstood, because when I click on it
it will not drag. If I click on any of the other they will not drag
either. Do you have any idea why?



I just now tried it, and I was able to move a button by dragging it.  I
tried it again, specifically with the HTML5 Media checkbox; and I was
able to move it.

Oops!!  My error  You have to left-click on the item under Enabled

I have resolved the problem! I upgraded PrefBar from Version 7.0.1 to 
Version 7.1.1. I can now drag and drop items in the list and move them.

See my step #6.  You do that in the PrefBar window that was launched in
step #3.

Autoplay on/off is in the preferences of 2.53.1 b1 preferences (was: Re: Flash Player and YouTube Problems)

[Paul Bergsagel]

If you are running SeaMonkey 2.53.1 b1 you can easily turn autoplay 
using the preferences.  Open Preferences and click on Appearance->Media 
and uncheck the box "Enable Autoplay of HTML5 media content".

It is a checkbox that I created and added to PrefBar.  Creating such
checkboxes is easy.

If you want my checkbox, do the following:

1.  Go to .

2.  Right-click on HTML5_media.btn, select "Save Link Target As" from
the pull-down context menu, and indicate in the resulting window where
you want to download the file.

3.  Right-click on the PrefBar tool bar, and select "Customize PrefBar"
in the pull-down context menu.

4.  In the list of PrefBar objects on the right side of the PrefBar
window, under Enabled Items, right-click and select Import in the
pull-down context menu.

5.  In the resulting window, navigate to where you saved
HTML5_media.btn, select the file, and then select the Open button.

6.  The checkbox will have been added to the bottom of the Enabled Items
list as "HTML5 Media".  You can drag it up to another position, which
will determine where on the PrefBar toolbar it will appear.

With a checkmark in the checkbox, HTML5 media is enabled.  With no
checkmark, it is disabled.

After inporting the checkbox into PrefBar, you can deleted the
HTML5_media.btn file from where you downloaded it.  In two weeks, I will

I have gone to your site and download HTML_media.btn and installed and 
everything went great. However, it is at the bottom of the list how do I 
move up the list?


What am I overlooking?

Thank you,
Danny

It's been a long time since I changed anything in my PrefBar, but I do 
know about its possibilities; by the way you described it, I didn't know 
if this was a 'PrefBar standard option' which I had neglected to add, or 
one added later (in this case, I now know, by yourself).


Thanks also for your generous offer:


If you want my checkbox, do the following:

1.  Go to .

2.  Right-click on HTML5_media.btn, select "Save Link Target As" from
the pull-down context menu, and indicate in the resulting window where
you want to download the file.


As I said, it's been years since I last customized PrefBar, so I didn't 
even remember where my 'PrefBar addons' were stored.  Turns out I had a 
folder named "PrefBar Buttons"... with none for video, as was to be 
expected.



3.  Right-click on the PrefBar tool bar, and select "Customize PrefBar"
in the pull-down context menu.

4.  In the list of PrefBar objects on the right side of the PrefBar
window, under Enabled Items, right-click and select Import in the
pull-down context menu.

5.  In the resulting window, navigate to where you saved
HTML5_media.btn, select the file, and then select the Open button.

6.  The checkbox will have been added to the bottom of the Enabled Items
list as "HTML5 Media".  You can drag it up to another position, which
will determine where on the PrefBar toolbar it will appear.

With a checkmark in the checkbox, HTML5 media is enabled.  With no
checkmark, it is disabled.

After inporting the checkbox into PrefBar, you can deleted the
HTML5_media.btn file from where you downloaded it.  In two weeks, I will
remove the file from my Web site.


I've added your "HTML5_media.btn"; I suppose none of the other files in 
your "(http://www.rossde.com/)test" folder have anything to do with 
this, so I left them alone; thanks once more.


After a 'trip down memory lane', I remembered that I do have an 
installed extension for this, but it's been ages since I last saw it in 
use; it's "YouTube Flash Video Player" 54.0.1, from Baris Derin; It 
offers 2 options, "HTML5 Video Player" & "Flash Video Player", but I 
don't remember if there's some way to toggle them without opening the 
addon's Options, which makes it rather inconvenient (and is probably why 
I forgot about it); as far as I can recall, during a phase, some time 
ago, I did try both options and, not noticing any significant change, 
dropped the matter.


My "media.autoplay.enabled" Pref is set to 'false', but the addon option 
is set to "HTML5 Video Player", so I don't know what SM makes of that; 
possibly, the Pref has precedence, which might explain why I didn't 
notice any difference when switching the options...


I currently use the "Video Downloader Professional" 1.97.37.1 extension 
(for video downloads, natch, but it doesn't always work for YouTube); 
previously, I used "Video Downloader Helper", but some time ago switched 
to the current one.  However, when it can't DL a video, good old "Clip 
Grab" usually saves the day.

By default, I have media.autoplay.enabled set to false.  When there is a
video I want to play, I use PrefBar to change it to true (selecting a
checkbox on the PrefBar tool bar).  I then reload the Web page, and the
video plays.

With media.autoplay.enabled set to false, I just now loaded a YouTube
Web page with Bizet's L'Arlésienne Suites No. 1 & No. 2.  There was no
button to start the video.  I then changed media.autoplay.enabled to
true, but there still was no way to play the video.  The video started
after I reloaded the Web page; at that point, buttons did appear.

Thank you for those that replied,



Glad to see that it's working again.

Going one step further, I think chances are pretty high that you don't 
need Flash at all, and it's likely to be safe to uninstall entirely.


I removed Flash a couple of years ago, and I've only seen a couple of 
sites that complain about Flash not being available, and they're not 
ones that I care about delivering video content.  I've had no problems 
at all with YouTube and not having Flash installed.


With proprietary video players, I've found that it's generally best to 
uninstall everything, unless you know that you have specific need for 
one. If you encounter a site that requires a specific player, they'll be 
quick to let you know (and generally offer you a link for a download). 
But until you know you need a specific player, you don't need it.


If the only reason that you have Flash is for YouTube, I suggest that 
you uninstall it.  One less potential security issue, and one less thing 
that you have to maintain with timely updates.

When I went to YouTube it would not play any videos. Uninstalled the 
new version and went to my archives and installed a version that I 
knew worked. Well that did not fix the problem.


It show all the recommended boxes that should play reviews of things 
you may want to see. However, all the boxes are are gray boxes. All of 
the web site is mostly gray there are link and radio buttons they to 
are gray.


I uninstalled that version and now I have no flash player installed. 
What course of action do I need to take here?


Drive Booster says all my drivers are up to date. Plus they are the 
same driver I was using when it was working, before Adobe screwed me 
over.


Thank you for any help you maybe able to give.

Danny,


If it were me I would try some other UA.
If that did not work then I would do a system restore.
If you want html5: about:config:  media.html5video.blocked  set to false.
I block html5 due to its intrusiveness.


I don't see media.html5video.blocked in my SM v2.49.5's about:config list.

Where are the setting to to disable Flash and the use HTML5 instead?


Hmm, I don't think YouTube uses Flash anymore. Can you try a brand new 
SeaMonkey profile (Profile Manager shortcut in W7's Start Menu) and see 
if you still have this problem?
