Video autoplay does not work

[edwinius]

Hello, thank you for the very nice plug in. I am having trouble making the video to autoplay, have experiment and tried everything, and in different browsers and devices, the autoplay just does not start.

Panorama view, everything works fine, but I had to click the play button for it to start.

Here is my code:

<video 
        id="panorama" class="video-js vjs-default-skin vjs-big-play-centered" 
        controls
        muted
        preload="none"
        loop
        style="width:100%;height:100%;" 
        crossorigin="anonymous"
        src='vidmin.mp4'
        poster='poster.jpg'
        playsinline="true"
        autoplay
    >
        <source src="vidmin.mp4" type="video/mp4"/>
        <source src="vidmin.webm" type="video/webm"/>
        <p class="vjs-no-js">
            To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to

        </p>
</video>

<script>
    var player = window.player = videojs('panorama', {
        playsinline: true,
        autoplay: true,
        muted: true,
        preload: 'metadata',
        plugins: {
            pannellum: {}
        }
    });
</script>

Thank you very much for your attention and help.

What versions of Video.js and Pannellum are you using?

I am facing the same problem.

videojs('panoramaVideo', { loop: true, autoplay: true, plugins: { pannellum: {} } });

Video.js version 7.10.2 and Pannellum 2.5.6.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

This seems to be an upstream issue with Video.js. At least for me, it exhibits the same behavior when the Pannellum plugin isn't used. Setting autoplay: true only works in Firefox, and setting autoplay: 'muted' only works in Chrome.
