Maybe y’all know about this already but I am stoked….
all you need to do in order to loop or autostart a youtube served video is add this code, no spaces, no quotes, directly after the video url (inside the url quotes)in your embed tag:
&autoplay=1&loop=1
por example:
embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/X3O7k-MoDew&autoplay=1&loop=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=”transparent” width=”425″ height=”350″
add<> where needed…..
palindrome and some other fun quicktime embed tags do not seem to work….
this is a good start though….

yeah isn’t that neat?
i read about the autoplay from the youtube site this summer. and just figured that the loop argument would work too. Actually they disabled looping for awhile. There are several things on 53 o’s that use the looping feature. A little bit after youtube’s last major embed design change, all of the videos with the loop tag would only play the audio the second time around, and the video would have the “share” and “watch again” buttons over it. This only lasted for 3 or 4 weeks though…so I guess it must have been a glitch. I haven’t been able to figure out what other arguments work. There is very little written on the youtube site about it…i don’t think they ever mention the looping feature. I wish they would let you designate the volume on embeds…

Yeah, its totally neat. This just makes youtube so much more a resource for me. I havent really searched the youtube site for this stuff. Found most of the info on myspace….
and while we are on this educational tip, here is a page covering all of the quicktime embed tag attributes.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/embed2.html
just in case anybody doesn’t know how to use em…and…
one more thing: dreamhost offers an rtsp or quicktime streaming server option for free. I have only ever used rtsp to stream my itunes library to myself at work. Itunes wont let you do that anymore….but I am sure we could think of something fun to do with rtsp…

Hey guys,
I have an iMac G5 running tiger 10.4.7 and I an having a wierd problem. Whenever I go to a site that has an embedded youtube, flash or some kind of video, there is no sound. If it a quicktime file there is no problem. There is not sound no matter what broswer I use, firefox, camino, safari, or shiira. And keep in mind that about a week ago I was not having this issue.
Help Would be awesome
Thanks!

But how do you get it to autostart in your profile/channel
- Playa Rabbit — 4/9/07 @ 4:19 pm
if you are using this on mysape, and resizing the video to 1×1, if you have a ‘hide song’ code, it wont resize(:

- Guest — 10/23/07 @ 10:19 am
Autoplay still works, but loop does not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh might work in some contexts
- charles — 11/25/07 @ 1:27 am
meta refresh is a bad one. it will interrupt the page. auto loop would have been great.
- red — 12/6/07 @ 3:43 am
this completely changes all of the works done using the loop function
works like row row row can never exist again
- tom — 12/21/07 @ 10:29 am
It doesn’t loop only autoplay.
- Kelly — 12/22/07 @ 3:49 pm

You must use the embed version.
This will work (http://www.youtube.com/v/H12foslmVy8&autoplay=1&loop=1).
You cannot use directly on the website.
This will not work (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H12foslmVy8&autoplay=1&loop=1).
