Hi,

This probably should be listed under bug-report, but I don’t see one.

I have some audio-only streams - however they do not autoplay, even though autoplay works properly with live video streams.

The autoplay does work if not using flash, however.

Here is the code:

WowzaPlayer.create(‘playerElement’,

{

“license”:“PLAY1-8r7hU-RdBz7-yFeWJ-TEM4p-M8Ukt”,

“title”:"",

“description”:"",

“sourceURL”:thisVideoEncode,

“autoPlay”:true,

“volume”:“75”,

“useFlash”:true,

“mute”:false,

“loop”:false,

“audioOnly”:true,

//“debugLevel”:“OFF”,

“uiShowQuickRewind”:true,

“uiQuickRewindSeconds”:“30”

});

If you have a solution, please let me know,

Sincerely,

Alan

Hi Alan,

What is your source? I just tested autoPlay with an audio-only AAC VOD file and the player auto-played it. This also worked with an audio-only live source. Note that Wowza Player is not compatible with MP3 streams.

If it’s still not working for you then I’d recommend [opening a support ticket](https://www.wowza.com/support/open-ticket) so we can capture more detail about what is happening.

Regards,

Paul

You are right, It is auto-starting.

Thanks.
