Would be nice to have an editable white-list that allows regular expressions (or similar syntax). As an example, bandcamp has subdomains for each band and I'd like to disable it for the entire website, instead I have to disable autoplay for every new band I listen to.

Doesn't work for Rumble

Works perfectly on Rumble.

Does the job! I have used it for years now. 👍

Breaks CNN video playback. Built-in autoplay off feature is sufficient. Removed plugin.

This extension is no longer needed. Firefox already includes a setting to block media autoplay. Go to settings and search for "autoplay". Click on "Autoplay → Settings...". I suggest changing the default for all websites to "Block audio and video".

Firefox also makes it super easy to add exceptions for certain sites. Just click on the Permissions icon to the left of the address bar and it'll give you a quick drop down menu to permanently allow auto playing both audio and video or only audio.

Of course, although it is no longer necessary, I thank the author who kept this extension updated all the way until 2018. You helped a lot of us out,

This is a lifesaver. It blocks auto play on sites and that kills the drop down of vids on the same pages as you scroll. Also there are sites where auto play is preferred and this allows for exceptions.

Randomly Stops Working. Pretty Bad.

does not work on youtube autoplay and it wants permission on your website browsing.

I only have autoplay issues with one site. (Yahoo Finance) Firefox can block autoplay on initial load, but not when changing back and forth between tabs nor when scrolling up and down the page. After installing this add-on, it seems to help block autoplay when switching between tabs, but allowed autoplay when scrolling up and down the page. I believe Yahoo uses multiple triggers to force the videos to autoplay .. onHover, onFocus, etc. If it is updated to catch the other triggers, I will try it again.

trash

worked pretty well until it prevented www.spectrum.net page from loading. Cannot find an option to whitelist.

This extension is the source of many errors when logged on to cloud.google.com

Several extensions were disabled in Firefox while trying to track down the origin of the

"Oops! An unexpected problem occurred. Please refresh your browser."

messages when logged into cloud.oracle.com

Firefox 95.0.2 64 bit, the current latest version, on Windows 10.

This consistently occurs when choosing items from the menu at cloud.oracle.com

After disabling "Disable HTML5 Autoplay", the errors stopped.

Checking the Firefox Console, the error was always this url:

view-source:moz-extension://86436a12-f1b7-4665-ba83-101479f2641a/js/content_script.js

and this bit of code:

function injectScript() {
const domain = window.location.hostname;
const scriptFile = domain === 'www.youtube.com' || domain === 'gaming.youtube.com' ? 'youtube' : 'inject';
const script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = browser.extension.getURL(`js/${scriptFile}.js`);
document.documentElement.appendChild(script);
}

This code may be here due to numerous complaints about compatibility with youtube.

In any case, I have removed the extension, and the problems went away.

перестало работать

OK On Many Sites.... but it also breaks image uploads on Google Group sites.

Since the late 70s and well into the 80s currently version 88 of Firefox I had a problem with most videos displaying the following message:
"This video This video cannot be played because of a technical error.(Error Code: 200001)"

I have no proxy set and all drivers are current.
Researching I found many having same or similar problems but nobody having a solution.
That was until I came across a locked and archived forum thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/aday21/video_error/

The last reply, by "SlickStretch" was the correct answer and solution.

"solved by disabling the extension: 'Disable HTML5 Autoplay.' Try disabling/removing this extension or any similar ones."

sometimes work, sometimes not. still happy

Was working fine, but makes some videos unreadable (corrupt file, but ok when this plugin is disabled) really annoying.
