I am trying to autoplay Netflix video using Selenium on chrome on a Linux machine. I open the video using the following url: https://www.netflix.com/title/<video_id>. Normally, the video starts playing once the page loads. However, with selenium, the video page opens up and a play button comes up. The video does not play until I click button manually. Is there a workaround such as opening chrome with specific flags to disable this?
One workaround that I found was to mute the Netflix video. I think this has to do with the new updates to chrome wherein video can only be autoplayed if they are muted.

I have a video recording with the ability to choose a background (for example, blurry or upload your own picture). It doesn't work in safari (but works in chrome and other browsers) and I get this error. Can you tell me how to solve this? Project on the vue

I have this video that plays automatically when I manually interact with the page.
When running TestCafe the page freezes and the video does not play even if I click the play button.
Adding the chrome --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required flag solves the problem but I am not required to add that flag. Is there any way I can initiate a user gesture in TestCafe? Or bypass this requirement without adding the tag?
The '--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required' flag is required to run tests in Google Chrome with test pages on which there are playing sounds or videos.
There is an suggestion in the repository connected with TestCafe to add this flag to flags used for Google Chrome running - https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-browser-tools/issues/156.
I wanted to record Laptop's webcam video stream on safari browser.
I am accessing the stream on browser by using MediaDevices.getUserMedia().
It seems MediaRecorder interface will do the trick (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaRecorder).
However this isnt supported by Safari.
Any recommendation on how i should record the webcam stream and build a video recorder that runs on Safari.
It seems there is nothing available for Safari at the moment.

I am using video.js to play mp4 video files.
It works fine in Chrome & Safari, but not in IE
Here is a link for a sample page:
http://www.shafan.co.il/gsPedia/Templates/Shafan/DisplayItem_NEW.asp?WordID=4485&Word=&CategoryID=143
The page is in Hebrew... Sorry... But you can clearly see where the video box is...
Thanks!!
check out the source on [http://videojs.com/](line 92). their video works in ie. i played a little with the plugin on localhost, and came across the same issue... try setting up the video plugin manualy (by running js code after video tag), as they did on their homepage (line 99). chears.
I have a webpage with html5 video displaying an HLS video in Safari on OSX. When I click the full screen button the video plays in full screen, but the screen dims according to my OSX display settings after 1 minute of being idle, no keyboard or mouse interaction.
This does not happen if I play an mp4 video file from the local disk directly using Quicktime in full screen. In this case Quicktime is doing something to tell OSX not to listen to the idle-timeout.
My question is how can I make the html5 video page keep the screen from idle-dimming while playing the video in full screen on OSX (or any platform, if possible)?
The issue has been fixed in safari 5.1.4. Release notes are available here.
