Chrome made a highly reasonable change IRT autoplay videos. The change completely, inescapably breaks basically any games or net-art projects. Google doesn't care about this because art and games are not something that browser vendors treat as a valid use of the web.https://twitter.com/vectorpoem/status/993512774792761344 …
If you use a website as a container for some kind of audiovisual work, you are outside what Google treats as a valid, anticipatable use of web tech. Google is designing for a web consisting entirely of "articles" which are shared on one of three social networking websites
Ok can you explain this, bc I've seen this take a few times and idgi. Doesn't it suffice to add a "play" button? Afaict, you just need the user to interact with the tab in some way to get video / audio permission back?
Two things. One, please see my site: http://dryad.technology In this case, "Play" is a matter of opening a page. I store the javascript apps on different pages because that's for many reasons more convenient. You click on a link on the front page, or on the card on Twitter.
Can you explain (or point to an explainer) for how it breaks games? Seriously interested.
According to the documentation, Audio is blocked unless you perform very specific actions which the standard does not require. You have to wait until you get a user interaction event callback, then unsuspend your audio context. (That's if you're using WebAudio...)
I'd rather have videos not autoplay than have those other sites "work".
Chrome apparently feels the same way. So goodbye web-hosted video games, I guess.
It'd be nice if browsers added opt-in permissions for autoplay kinda like what they have for getUserMedia
Yep, it's arrogant of them not to let end users decide which sites need audio and which are annoying. Crowd source this stuff.
oow, that explains why all the ludum dare's game I've been playing didn't have sound :O
