Re: [videoblogging] Re: Preventing embedded videos from playing automatically on Myspace message boards
We have just now put out a fix for this bug, so the problems should be clearing up at once. Sorry for the inconveniences! Heath wrote: My stuff on Myspace from blip auto plays as well. It's the player that you can embed into your site. It's started a while ago, I just never did anything about it. But I know it's also happening to me.

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.
