i was trying to make autoplay work in youtube videos,
in the html parameters i tried autoplay=1, autoplay=true and it does not seem to work,
seeing the source code it was creating the param name/value pair correctly,

\n

Your browser is not able to display this multimedia content.

how can i make autoplay work (also for google videos),
support appreciated,
thanks

the flashvars params was there for google and was working fine for google videos.
for you tube videos the flashvars params was not there so i had to copy that
" $output .= 'param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/' . check_plain($node->vidfile) . '"
param name="FlashVars" value="playerMode=embedded&autoplay=1" ' . "\n"
. _video_get_parameters($node) .
'

'. t('Your browser is not able to display this multimedia content.') .'

"
and put autoplay=1
hope this helps some one
thanks and it works great

updating the post:
for you-tube to work autoplay identify this code in video.module and make changes :

function theme_video_play_youtube($node) {
  $width = ($node->videox ? $node->videox : '425');
  $height = ($node->videoy ? $node->videoy : '350');


  // this will be executed by not Internet Explorer browsers

$output .= '<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/' . check_plain($node->vidfile) . '" />
  <param name="FlashVars" value="playerMode=embedded&autoplay=1" />' . "\n"
  . _video_get_parameters($node) .
'<p>'. t('Your browser is not able to display this multimedia content.') .'</p>
</object>';

  return $output;
}
