Just a short note to let you know I’ve modified Gallery so that it can play videos directly off the page now. The option to download is still there if you don’t want to watch it on your browser. I’ve always hated videos that started to play in my browser w/o me telling it to, so I’ve disabled autoplay, so if you do want to play a video in the browser, you’ll have to click the play button for it to start.
I also found out to create thumbnails for videos, I needed to install ffmpeg, which I did, so now all my videos have thumbnails.
I also found this pretty neat extension for Firefox: Stop Autoplay – Disable the autoplay of the embedded music and movie (mp3, wma, wmv, avi, mpg, rm…). Pretty neat! Just what I wanted.
I know Internet Explorer honors the autoplay=”false” attribute, but for some reason Firefox doesn’t. For those of you who are using Firefox, can you do a quick test for me and see if that video autoplays for you or not. Thanks!
Enjoy!
