In a situation like that, I would say calling Mr. Hudack on his cell
might be in order. That is, if it's really a Blip issue - but based
upon what you've described, I don't think it is.
What you describe sounds very strange.
Know there's an autoplay option in Blip's show player configuration
process but can't imagine that even changing that option could cause
autoplay across extant Blip embed code and/or players everywhere.
When you upload to MySpace, those videos aren't hosted @ Blip, but at
MySpace, so deleting the Blip files wouldn't affect how your MySpace
vids autoplayed (or not).
MySpace deleted all the videos I'd embedded in it and I can't for the
life of me figure out how to re-do it.
My best guess is that the problem is with MySpace, not Blip.
Blip's cross-post to MySpace has been broken for a while - since
MySpace altered something-or-other.
MySpace deleted the half dozen or so videos that were on my profile.
Ack. Not very video friendly.

I recently had an incident where many of the videos I had embedded on
Myspace message boards from Blip Tv had started playing automatically.
This had the extremely undesirable effect of fouling the audio on the
homepage. We are making a documentary of the music scene in and around
our pottery shop, and the video posts, which were mainly musical
performances, were placed on the sites of musicians who were friends
with the people in the videos. When our videos started playing
automatically, we suddenly were flooded with angry complaints from
musicians that our videos were messing up their pages. AHH!!! We
had inadvertently become Spamers!!!I immediately deleted my videos
from Blip and e-mailed their staff for a solution to this. I also put
out a bulletin in Myspace explaining and apologizing for the problem.
Embedding video can be a great way to build an audience, but this
problem is suddenly making us more enemies than fans. I'm hoping
there might be somebody in the videoblogging community who can toss me
a lifeline here.
