    I’m from the CAD side of the world. Some of this stuff is so counter intuitive for me. I checked out the sample video of the video playing on the screen. All I want to do is have the video start at the beginning of the simulation, like it would do in Blender. Geeze, I just can’t figure it out. Can anyone throw me a bone?

    It would be greatly appreciated.

    bone #1:
    Video can not play back automatically if it has audio.

    bone #2:
    If you video has audio you will need to have the video start by some sort of event by the user. This can be a mouse down, on click…what ever you want.

    bone #3:
    If your video doesnt have audio, check the codec. Put. your video into the sample video project and see if it works. If it does..then your codec is okay.

    bone#4
    be sure your video is loaded into memory and ready to play before making it play.
    Use the Loadvideo puzzle to preload it.

    bone #5
    If you need the video to play at the start of your application you will need to place the preloader in the init tab

    bone#6 (the last bone in this rack)
    Not all browsers and devices play video back the same way. it will be important to test your solution on all the browsers and devices you can. You may need more than one codec and may need varying resolutions to support all devices well.

    Good Luck

    If muted it can be auto-played nearly in any browser. Except iOS Safari (it requires a user interaction in any case)

    Puzzles and JS. Fast and expensive.

    If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of meaning at all.

    Thanks for the bones. Yes I am aware of a video being blocked if it has audio. Muting the video was no problem. I use videos as backgrounds all the time. Unfortunately I can not find any puzzle that has a title “load video”. This is where the common sense CAD guy gets lost. I tried using a timer and that didn’t work either. Some of this puzzle stuff is so frustrating.

    Well that did it. I had the mute at the bottom and had no idea you had to use a procedure. Thanks so much for your help. I never would have gotten that.

    it’s not necessary. you can use just these puzzles
