I'm not sure if this is a support request or feature request - but I would like to be able to prevent the videos from automatically loading and/or playing. We are using this module in a videoblog and when the user pulls up the blog - 10 videos start playing at once!

Is this currently possible - or easy to implement?

Thanks - this module is fantastic (once you can get ffmpeg to work!)

Well, one method to keep this from happening is to set the autostart flag to false in the [video] tag. This way they won't all start up at once...

Then, if you just want to show one video player, you can incorporate the new playlist feature that I implemented.... You would just specify in your [video] tag the fids parameter like so....

[video:fids=23-35-12] - This will play video 23, followed by 35, followed by 12 in the same player!

Thanks so much - the autostart worked great! Sorry I missed that in the documentation.

Quick question. I'm not sure exactly what or where the [video] tag is as i'm looking for this.

I have this same issue, but not with flash video, with embedded video html generator. They have something that says autoplay= "false", but nothing that says autostart, which is what you suggested here. here is a link to my page if that helps: http://jeanetteeng.com/professional/reel.html. please help! My page does not need to be someplace where people can contribute, like youtube, so I'm thinking that this flashvideo thing is not appropriate for me. What do you think. Thank you!
