FAO - people using SAFARI on Mac, need browser testing

Hi Ladies & gents.

I have a problem with one of the page that seems to load up the video even before you click on the image that says "click here to watch the image"

This apparently happens only on safari but i don't have safari so if you kind people could test and see if video loads automatically or not?

The audio started playing automatically, I then had to click the video and could see the video. Looks like it starts playing behind the image.

Happens on Chrome too!

Don't you need to have autoplay in the Youtube URL set to 0 instead of 1?

cheers. Apparently it happens because on safari at least, there is a setting somewhere that enables autoplay. Maccy, do you mind confirming that for me?

http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1150957 is just one of those forums where people are moaning about this issue.

Can't see it. Is your page written with HTML 5? Going to move this to the appropriate section to get some better answers.

This is the issue although once the user clicks on your 'splash_screen' container, they'll then have to click on the youtube player to start the video.

Have a look at Youtube's JS API as that allows control of the embedded player - https://developers.google.com/youtube/js_api_reference

It works perfectly.
