How can I have a pinned video not "autostart" until I click on the video?
Every option I try, the video begins as soon as the files load (HTML 5 )

Thanks

Hi,
Set the loop to -1.
This will stop the video or sound from playing. you will need a play media action with the ID you would have given the video to play it.

Hi Hopki

Is there also a numerical input to allow looping 'forever'?

Thanks

Hi Boothy,
The inputs you can use are:
-1 = Does not auto start
0 = Loop forever
1, 2, 3 etc = Loop as many times as stated.

If I set the loop to -1 as suggested, the html 5 version works exactly as described, it plays when the video is clicked.
My issue now is when I add flash, I get unusual behaviour.
with the HTML 5 output tab, I set the appropriate file as a flash fallback.

Browser Chrome Safari IE9
Loop =1 OK OK OK
Loop =-1 OK OK No video
