HTML5 Video won't autoplay - html5-video

My browser is Chrome. I know that to get it to autoplay, the attribute should just simply read "autoplay," but it isn't working.
<video id="example_video_1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls autoplay preload="auto" width="620" height="350" data-setup="{}">
<source src="http://x.com/something.mp4" type='video/mp4' />
</video>

Most browsers require the video to be initiated by the user or muted.
Try:
<video id="example_video_1" muted="muted" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls autoplay preload="auto" width="620" height="350" data-setup="{}">
<source src="http://x.com/something.mp4" type='video/mp4' />
</video>

Is it possible to show one video at two different places?

I am working on a JS/HTML5 application that has to show the same video in two different places of the screen.
I can use any web browser I want - currently I am with Chrome.
Is it possible to display same video in two different places of the screen, or do I need to setup two different streaming sessions and take care of keeping them in sync?
Yes you can use same video src for two video players in the same page
<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls" autoplay>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls" autoplay>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
For video player options below is the url

HTML5 video not playing in a bxSlider slideshow on iOS (possibly caused by fitvids.js)

When I place video into a slide on bxSlider, it plays as it should on desktop browsers, but when tested on iOS devices - iPhone and iPad, video will not play.
I've included the current html code. I have duplicated the <video> element underneath the slideshow which plays as it should on all devices.
As per the bxSlider guide on video, I have included the jquery.fitvids.js file. The issue may be to do with that plugin, as when I remove that, the video in the slide plays, however, the slideshow then does not function correctly (duplicated slide is visible and controls are missing).
Another unexpected thing to note is that when the script initialising bxSlider is placed in the head beneath the libraries, bxSlider doesn't initiate at all.

Wrap your second video tag in 'li' tag and take it inside of that 'ul' tag.
<ul class="bxslider">

HTTP Dynamic Streaming with video.js flash fallback

I am evaluating video.js flash fallback capabilities for live streaming.
I can stream using either RTMP or Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming.
Hovewer, nonne of the options seems to be supported,
here is my demo set up
<video id="example_video_1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls preload="none" width="640" height="264"
poster="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.png"
data-setup="{}">
<source src="http://mysite.com:1935/live/android.stream/manifest.f4m" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="rtmp://mysite.com/live" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="http://mysite.com:1935/live/android.stream/playlist.m3u8" type='video/mp4' />
here is what I see in the firebug console
Specified "type" attribute of "video/mp4" is not supported. Load of media resource http://mysite.com:1935/live/android.stream/manifest.f4m failed.
Specified "type" attribute of "video/mp4" is not supported. Load of media resource rtmp://mysite.com/live failed.
I went through the source code of the video.js (both JavaScript and ActionScript) and couldn't find any support for manifest files.
That is a feature I would also like to see...
Rtmp is now supported in video.js an example can be seen by using there already packaged file or this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Video.js</title>
<link href="video-js.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script src="video.js"></script>
<script>
videojs.options.flash.swf = "video-js.swf";
</script>
</head>
<body>
<video id="my_video_1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls
preload="auto" width="640" height="264" data-setup='{ "techOrder": ["flash"] }'>
<!-- Stream testing -->
<source src="rtmp://rtmp.jim.stream.vmmacdn.be/vmma-jim-rtmplive-live/jim" type='rtmp/mp4'>
</video>

Hope this helps anyone currently stuck I know this has been dead for awhile.
