How can I disable html5 video autoplay?
what I've tried:
<video width="640" height="480" controls="controls" type="video/mp4" autoplay="false" preload="none"><source src="http://mydomain.com/mytestfile.mp4">Your browser does not support the video tag.</video>
I'd remove the autoplay attribute, since if the browser encounters it, it autoplays!
autoplay is a HTML boolean attribute, but be aware that the values true and false are not allowed. To represent a false value, you must omit the attribute.
The values "true" and "false" are not allowed on boolean attributes. To represent a false value, the attribute has to be omitted altogether.
Also, the type goes inside the source, like this:
<video width="640" height="480" controls preload="none">
<source src="http://example.com/mytestfile.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
