Block script-initiated autoplay ?

Unread post by coffeebreak » 2016-07-28, 11:21

The preference: media.autoplay.allowscripted is not visible in the alpha's about:config.

Is the underlying code present? Will a back-end control to block script-initiated autoplay of media be available in v27?

@coffeebreak
We have yet to port this over to Tycho.. There are a number of things we still have to port from pm-current but rest assured they will be in due course.

We are currently focusing on getting those things that broke during the port unbusted.. Then we can get the bells and whistles transferred over. ;)

@developerofthisfork
Despite your username, you don't speak for the project and seem unfamiliar with our development practices as well as our general goals.. So quit throwing Bugzilla bug numbers at everyone like they absolutely 100% mean something...

While some Firefox bugs on Bugzilla MAY be applicable and even desired.. We already had our own implementation of this very thing in pm-current but have not ported it over to Tycho as of yet.. Also, since Firefox is permanently entrenched in refactoring hell Firefox bugs don't usually provide a clear and complete solution let alone 1:1 behavior of any particular issue.

EDIT:

Keep an eye on https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/Tycho/issues/33 and https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/Tycho/issues/22 as they are the two main tracking metabugs for Tycho I am trying to keep up to date.. As well as the commit log of course.

If you don't like my nickname... you can rename me to "GMfork" (e.g.). I don't care...

You can ignore it.

If I broke some rule I didn't know about...

@GMforker, Thank you for trying to help with the question.

@Tobin,
Thanks for such a quick response! Just glad to know it wasn't for some reason jettisoned.

And thanks also for the tracking issues. XD
