AutoPlay video in an HTML article?

As the title says - I have a HTML article whose code begins a video game. It works fine in Safari on Mac, but in the Viewer, it touch me to start the video (or run the entire script?).

Some googling and asking indicates that this might be a limitation imposed by apple, to avoid hijacked web pages. Not sure about that.

It's the 'cover' the app and I need to start by itself, or I'll need to dump all the HTML features and just use it as a video autoplay.

Has anyone faced this before? Or is my code just bad?

Thank you
David

Yes, and to my knowledge, it is not possible. Apple imposes these restrictions in mobile safari to keep developers eat surprisingly bandwidth to users when they're on cellular connections, at least it's their reasoning. There used to be a work-around which a developer could simulate a click on the js to start a video, but who stopped with an updated version 4.2.x by apple.

  • Performance issues HTML Article in the Adobe Viewer on iPad

    I created an HTML Article using DPS, but when I get to post it on the Adobe in iPad viewer content does not scroll smoothly and the content is cut and cropped (the entire page is not displayed), it is very judery and struggles to make the HTML below "the fold" so to speak.

    I tried two import HTML options in DPS and both have the same isuues of performance/gal.

    I have a video in my HTML code, which seemed to be causing a problem where the video streaming was struggling to be pulled through, so I have treid YouTube and Vimeo video streaming and performance/display problem is not resolved. I then tried embbeding a mp4 directly using HTML5 to see if it was a connection/band bandwidth issue and the problem persists. However the videos play, it's just the fact that the container is cropped in half.

    Sometimes the HTML item makes it, but then when you scan save the page he struggles to render the above content? Also, then when drag you to the bottom of the page content is also cultivated that was visible before?

    I went through every discussion available on the Adobe community and other resources, but all of the mentioned patches have no effect.

    If anyone can help or knows the same problems any advise would be welcome.

    Article HTML contains some JS too, it is not working properly, but I was wondering if JS causes problems? Just a thought.

    Well, I think I can find the answer so I thought I would share with the community incase anyone who knows the same type of questions.

    After testing another piece of HTML that also included the video in streaming and JavaScript heavy, I have narrowed the question to my JS. I had two Nivo Slider carousels which were the road to performance issues.

    The other test HTML Article scrolls smoothly and video shoots as expected, although from time to time there is a slight delay in the page to scroll up and down, but it's barely noticeable.

    I hope it can be useful to others in the future?

  • 'horizontal scan only' on html articles

    Hey,.

    I noticed that I don't have to select "Horizontal Swipe" only on pure html articles I import.

    Does anyone have a work around for this?

    The problem is that with the use of the internal frames of scrolling in the html of the article, when you scroll to the bottom of the internal scroll, the entire page will begin floating down when the user continues to scroll. If you are a little impatient and start scrolling in another scroll (or the same) frame until the page has "arranged", both internal scrolling AND the whole page scrolls together.

    I downloaded a YouTube video to illustrate; http://youtu.be/8lnGzMeYNd4

    Any help would be appreciated.

    See you soon,.

    Eddie

    This is how our scrolling behavior is designed, and there is no way to turn it off.

  • Is the shared use of the assets of possible HTML-Articles?

    We have a lot of HTML-similar items. Is it possible to use things like images, fonts, javascript and css together files? Our motivation is to have lean HTML-articles.

    Shared resources are supported through migrated content and through our content download API. It is not a way to give them via the dashboard content UI for the moment, unfortunately.

  • use of jQuery in html articles

    Hello

    I need to build an RSS feed in js with jquery or another frame of js. I can load from a remote location .js files? charge locally? both? What would be your advice for this please.

    Good day.

    When you create your HTML article, you can load the JS files locally or remotely. With the local JS files, you have better control.

    Make sure that you test your HTML code on target devices. In dealing with the JavaScript, some effects that work well on a desktop browser don't work well on phones or tablets.

  • IFrames offline in the HTML articles

    I have an iFrame loading a Google map in one of my HTML articles, and when I go to test article in a full article offline mode does not load. All I get is a blank white screen. I have other articles (without iFrames) basic HTML which do very well. I was wondering if this is a known bug or what I can do to work around this problem. I want the rest of the content will be visible even if the iFrame cannot load.

    I'm on an iPad iOS 4 9 running.

    I have reproduced your issue. There seems to be a bug, we study.

  • DPS 2015 New Tools and HTML articles

    Hi, I'm not a developer but I use DPS to design content according to apps. So forgive if my questions are too basic for most of the people here.

    So far, I have used only Indesign and Muse to design the content of my app, in the old system of DPS. I used the muse to design and export HTML slide shows. I have two questions-

    1. What are the new tools for 2015 of DPS in Indesign. I installed the plug in and note the following tools as part of the 2015 DP in Indesign-

    -Article DPS export

    -New Panel "Overlay".

    is there something else?

    2 DPS 2015 may have exported items of Indesign or HTML objects.

    For HTML articles, what should I ask my developer? As I said I am not a developer but would need to get content designed by a developer in HTML5. I know that we can articles covert HTML code using the HTML package.

    But there are specifications and guidelines for creating own HTML articles for use in the applications of DPS 2015.

    Thanks in advance.

    -MP

    1. you have the correct list.

    2. it's nothing special, you need to do if you're doing a content simple HTML. The only place where you get fancy is if you want to manage touch gestures to do special things, like manipulating a puzzle, slide through a slide show, etc. We have a few new APIs in 2015 of DPS that help authors have explicit gestures control when they want their HTML content. Details and sample code are available at https://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/6054-102-1-8012/DPS_HTML_Gesture _API_Examples_20150623.zip.

  • HTML Article assemble dynamically, do scroll is not possible after the orientation change

    Hi guys,.

    I encountered the following problem today:

    Im having an HTML page set dynamically from a source JSON file, manipulation of information in JSON with jQuery. I'm downloading the page HTML (html page is empty until the page is in the DPS stack, then it builds) as an HTML article with the ' Smooth Scrolling: vertical. So far so good.

    When I open the page inside the Adobe viewer app on my iPad, I can see the "first" part of the page (the first 1024px in portrait orientation), but I am not able to scroll further down the page.

    However, when I do a change in orientation of the device (turn it landscape and then come back), I can scroll perfectly well and am able to see everything on the page (so I'm quite sure that the json in jquery for html conversion work). still unknown, when I let the page tell me his height (via $("body").height () and $(document) .height ()), it shows me that the height of the page is in effect (for example) the 10.000px, but I am not able to scroll down until I do the orientation change.

    am I missing something? im sure that my code is correct, because once I change the direction of my camera, everything works perfect.


    I hope that my problem is understandable, any help is very appreciated.


    Thank you


    Max

    You have correctly identified the root cause: we ask the page height so we can tell the web control what content is the height. If there is JavaScript that runs when the page is loaded (or at any other time, honestly) which changes the height of the page, what could happen after that we ask for the height.

    It is, unfortunately, no way to send a signal to the app ask that we re - check the height of the page and update the web control accordingly. I think the reason why it works on rotation, we only are not destroy and recreate the web control, so the height of your page is calculated correctly, but we re - ask the height so we can draw the control.

  • Follow-up events in HTML articles

    I'm trying to understand how to use the analytical service to follow custom and variable events in several HTML articles. I am able to load AdobeReadingAPI.min.js of HTMLResources and instantiate adobeDPS.analyticsService as described here. The API methods seem to work on the pages of the article, but I see none of the custom events or variables in my SiteCatalyst report suite. I would like to know if I'm missing the important steps here.

    Basically, in my HTML article there are several < a > elements on the page. I added event listeners to each of them and capture the file names as a custom variable target. This event listener includes a function to follow the custom event (renamed "linkClicked" through setCustomEventAlias) and pass a few variables, including the custom variable. It looks a bit like this:

    var analytics = adobeDPS.analyticsService;
    
    [...]
    
    // define custom variables and events
    analytics.setCustomVariableAlias('customVariable1','linkTarget');
    analytics.setCustomEventAlias('customEvent1','linkClicked');
    
    [...]
    // below is inside the event listener function... 
    analytics.variables = {
      'stackId': 'test_article',
      'linkTarget': e.target.getAttribute('href')
    };
    
    analytics.trackCustomEvent('linkClicked', analytics.variables);
    

    What Miss me? Thanks in advance for everyone to help.

    It seems that you have not initialized the API.  See page 68 of the following document.

    http://download.Macromedia.com/pub/developer/DPS/analytics-report/DPS-analytics-report-GUI.PDF

    $(document) .ready (function ($) {}

    adobeDPS.initializationComplete.addOnce (function () {}

    var Analytics = adobeDPS.analyticsService;

    }

  • How do I update the rendering of HTML articles

    Hello

    I have a long article any HTML my folio (smooth scrolling enabled for both orientations). When opening, article is cut off at any time, and part of the text and images is missing. I have to turn the Tablet for re - make the display of the article and if I do a few times, the article shows completelly.

    The HTML article also contains buttons with a javascript to reduce/enlarge the font size. By hitting the buttons, the Viewer is there, but the visible part is not updated and the content is hidden again.

    How can I set the Viewer to refresh the page (with extra button?) or how do I set the Viewer so that it always displays the full article without turning the Tablet all the time?

    Thank you

    Yves

    Unfortunately, there is not a way to trigger, through JavaScript, a query for the web control is used update the height of the actual page of the HTML content. If you have very long pages, you can see the bug you mention, because it takes too long for the operating system to display the page and when we ask the web control to the height of the content, it has not yet finished and we get a wrong number.

  • Update of HTML articles

    I have some HTML articles included in my application, and a concern for purposes of tests/tests I have to import them then update the content I get changes. I noticed that when I change specifically CSS, updates files appear to not always appear immediately. Now, however, I changed some image files apparently blocked in their State in the cache, which is certainly not correct.

    I tried to delete the article of the Folio and re-importing, even up to update on the content on my iPad between delete and re-import Viewer application, nothing happens. The issue of the removal of the iPad and redownloading it does not work. The only thing that works is remove the viewer of the iPad completely content, put it back in place and redownloading the Folio.

    Is there a way to fix this? As one tech I can understand this point, but I don't want to be tearing up my head to try to explain it to normal folk.

    This is unfortunately a limitation on iOS. It is caching the content under DPS and there is nothing we can do to force it to give us the updated content

  • Nov 11 update = no importers HTML articles

    Update this morning went well, but now any HTML articles yesterday won't matter is no longer.

    Import HTML was a little funky for weeks, sometimes I have to leave indesign and restart. Now, he's still just a spinning wheel. For local folios and acrobat.com ones.

    Anyone with the same problem? Or earlier, to have to quit and restart to bring an html article?

    Fortunately, it was 99.9% done last night.

  • How can I disable autoplay video on Firefox on my phone?

    I open tabs on Firefox on my phone and video autoplays in tabs in the background. I have no data unlimited, and I don't like him screaming audio suddenly when I am trying to be discreet.
    Is it possible to stop this?
    Other this question, I like firefox.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    On 41 of Firefox that will allow us to release next Tuesday, you can use an option in the settings to disable automatic playback of the video.

    • Firefox 3 dot the menu or the menu button on the phone
    • Parameters
    • view
    • Uncheck the box next to allow autoplay
  • Why, after using Firefox for years, all of a sudden I can't videos on many print articles that have them, whereas if I go on Internet Explorer, I can?

    On many web pages, videos that are included in an article, are just big white spaces with nothing (no video click on whatever it is) in them. If I open a browser IE and go to the same article, it displays and plays the video perfectly. I know many people who knows this.

    Hello

    Try clear your recent history:
