Autoplay false in oembed audio/video?

[GuilleArg]

Hello! Is there any way to pause the oEmbed audio/video that play automatically? audioboo.fm eg. I tried autoplay:false but it does not work. Thank you very much!

In my experience, you need to deal with the players case by case.

A friend did some hack for some of them, he basically modified the queryString after a video/audio is returned. The code looks something like this:

function parseQueryAttrAutoplay(url) 
{
    if (url.indexOf("Start=true")>=0 && settings.autoplay==0) { new_url = url.replace("Start=true", "Start=false"); }
    else if (url.indexOf("autoplay=1")>=0 && settings.autoplay==0) { new_url = url.replace("autoplay=1", "autoplay=0"); }
    else if (url.indexOf("autoPlay=1")>=0 && settings.autoplay==0) { new_url = url.replace("autoPlay=1", "autoPlay=0"); }
    else if (url.indexOf("autoPlay=yes")>=0 && settings.autoplay==0) { new_url = url.replace("autoPlay=yes", "autoPlay=no"); }
    else if (url.indexOf("auto=1")>=0 && settings.autoplay==0) { new_url = url.replace("auto=1", "auto=0"); }
    else if (url.indexOf("autoStart=true")>=0 && settings.autoplay==0) { new_url = url.replace("autoStart=true", "autoStart=false"); }
    else if (url.indexOf("auto_play=true")>=0 && settings.autoplay==0) { new_url = url.replace("auto_play=true", "auto_play=false"); }
    else
    {
        var n = url.split(" ");
        for (i=0; i<n.length; i++)
        {
            //src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iy4mXZN1Zzk?feature=oembed"
            if (n[i].indexOf("src=")>=0)
            {
                var src = n[i].split("src=");
                if (src[1].length)
                { 
                    var url_len = src[1].length;
                    //if (src[0]=="\"" && src[url_len-1]=="\"") src[1] = src[1].substring(1, src[1].length-1); // http://www.youtube.com/embed/iy4mXZN1Zzk?feature=oembed
                    //else src[1] = src[1].substring(0, src[1].length);
                    tmp_src = src[1];
                    src[1] = src[1].substring(1, src[1].length-1);
                    //if (DEBUG) console.log("parseQueryAttrAutoplay: " + src[1]);
