I have the following HTML which loads an embedded media player:
<EMBED SRC="/01.mp4" HEIGHT=530 WIDTH=850 AUTOSTART="false">
What I would like to do is at onload I would like the mediaplayer to autoplay and then immediatly pause until the visitor enables play again.
The purpose of this is that I believe media player continues to download the file after the play button / and puase is pressed.
I don't believe the media file starts downloading until the play button is pressed. This doe not allow the downloading to stay ahead of the video watching experience resulting in starting & stoping of the video.
Can someone tell me if it's possible in javascript to tell the browser to start playing the media after the webpage loads and then pause it a short time later?
Thanks
