As a work around, when you instantiate the play, add .play(). eg:

WowzaPlayer.create(id, {}).play();

Sam,

So the code would look like this?

<script type="text/javascript">

WowzaPlayer.create('playerElement', { "license":"PLAY1-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-cVewb",

"title":"",

"description":"",

"sourceURL":"https%3A%2F%2F13.93.150.11",

"autoPlay":True,

"volume":"75",

"mute":false,

"loop":false,

"audioOnly":false,

"uiShowQuickRewind":true,

"uiQuickRewindSeconds":"30" } ).play();

</script>

Hello,

Thanks for contacting the Wowza Community!

Here is an article on the latest release notes for the Wowza player:

https://www.wowza.com/docs/latest-wowza-player-updates

Disabled the autoplay feature in Wowza Player on all platforms to 
prevent playback issues in browsers that are changing their autoplay policies. 

This was done due to browsers updating there auto-play policies. This is something that is out of our control and we had to make adjustments based on the browsers and them updating.

Hope this helps. If any further questions, feel free to contact us.

regards,

Jermaine

Browsers allow autoplay if the player starts muted.

Why did you completely remove the feature ?

@Jermaine Hemby

The following links says

  • "Muted autoplay is always allowed."

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

Please re-enable this feature for muted-by-default players.

I try the code but only work on Firefox and Chrome but not in IE. Are you at the same case?
