Toggle media autoplay
Is there any way to toggle media autoplay in SeaMonkey other than with an extension? I just tried a Firefox extension for that and it does not work in SeaMonkey.

I guess that begs the question, "Is there any way to toggle media autoplay in FF other than with an extension?" ?
Does media.autoplay.enabled do anything for you?
Setting a Plugin (Flash) to Ask?

Re: Toggle media autoplay
The Old Faithful streaming webcam in Yellowstone National Park will not stream for me unless media.autoplay.enabled is true, but otherwise I want it set to false. I really want to be able to toggle it with a click on something. I do not understand why "Autoplay Toggle" does not work, since it does not look that complex, but I know very little about javascript. I have a struggle just to modify bookmarklets to make them a little better.

It is possible. You need to install extension and make some modifications by your own. Here is solution:Anonymosity wrote:I really want to be able to toggle it with a click on something.

(this post and next one, bellow).
Extension is "Custom Buttons":
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/seamon ... m-buttons/
and requires conversion:
http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/?u ... m-buttons/
This combined solution will give you a button (placed on address bar) which can toggle value (false/true) for "media.autoplay.enabled" function.
Works for me

Thanks. Custom Buttons just needs bumping up for the max version, not being converted. I got my button made, and it works. The button is fine on my created addon-bar.

Re: Toggle media autoplay
do you know if the media.autoplay.enabled=False stops the loading of the media content too ?
imagine the video file is 45Mo. As you disable the autostart, does it stop the stream loading too ?
do you know a way to check it ?

Re: Toggle media autoplay
I don't know if it does or not, but if you have the Network tab of the developer tools open, you would be able to check whether it's shown in there.Michael REMY wrote:do you know if the media.autoplay.enabled=False stops the loading of the media content too ?
