all you have to do is get rid of everything before the first "embed" and after the second "embed" til it looks like this below.

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s3iyAFFElb4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed>

after that you add to the url "&autoplay=1"
like below

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s3iyAFFElb4&autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed>

YouTubeRobot.com today announces YouTube Robot 2.0, a tool that enables you to download video from YouTube.com onto your PC, convert it to various formats to watch it when you are on the road on mobile devices like mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, Pocket PC, PSP, or Zune.

YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time.

Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.

Thanks for the useful tip, everyday09, but I found that you don't need to remove the "object" code, which is there to make the embed compatible with IE. You can just add "&autoplay=1" (without the quotes) to the end of both url's: the one within the object tag and the one within the embed tag.

Also, if you wanted to make the video or playlist loop just add &loop=1 after the original code (or after &autoplay=1 if you want both autoplay and loop.)

First I want to say Hi to everyone on this forum.
I'm new here and I'm glad I found this place.

I found the forum by doing a Google search with this searchterm "html code to make video autoplay"

Actually I was searching for an autoplay code to add to the HTML code I get from Screencast when I want to put a video I recored with Camtasia and uploaded to Screencast on my blog. (I hope this sentence is clear... Smile

I added this code "&autoplay=1" to the URL in that code, but this does not work...

Does anyone knows if there is another way to do it?

Would be very helpful!

Thanks a lot,

Elmar

If you're just looking to loop videos for yourself, try http://www.infiniteyoutube.com

In the address bar, add the word "infinite" before the word "youtube". This is the easiest way to put Youtube videos on loop. When you are finished your address bar should be changed from:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg

To

http://www.infiniteyoutube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg

You can also go to http://www.infiniteyoutube.com and just paste in a link to the video or even search for videos.

If you couldn't get it to work you made a mistake with the code... there can be no space before the &autoplay=1" That is what should be added to the end of the script like shown above. There are no spaces and no extra quotations at the beginning... it is simply added on to the script:

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oXaUpoPJPTk&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed>
