Please Remove the Mute from Autoplay / Profiles

Well how the hell does King IV have music playing when I go to his profile?

That's a V1 profile and it doesn't use the same media code yet. V2 uses iframe, but V1 still uses object+embed.

I wouldn't mind the muted autoplay if the mute button was visible on the video so they would at least have the option to unmute it. The only way they can unmute it right now is by making the video fullscreen, and most people don't know to do that. Right now the videos only show the play/pause button and no mute or volume option. I tried using code to resize the video to see if it would make the buttons appear, but none of my resizing codes are working. The video is stuck at one size.

The mute button / volume control only appears when the player is a minimum of 300px wide. On a V2 profile, that means by default only the second column is wide enough to display the player at the required size. Since your profile does have a custom theme that makes the parent column wide enough, try this:

.media_panel iframe {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
}

You can set the height however you like, of course.

bc some ppl would rather be listening to their own music, or not have to have their device muted to not scare the ever loving s**t out of themselves / other ppl around them by having random a** music playing when they dont expect it to be.

an unmute option would be fine, but autoplay being forced on me bothers the ever living hell out of me.

ah, that makes sense... yanno, i actually forgot that there's some people
who have strange, loud music tastes so i can see why the whole autoplay feature
can be annoying to some ;; I just want a feature where we're able to just CLICK
on the media from profiles and that way we can have the option to choose or not choose
to listen to the media playing from the respective profiles C:

i feel like that would satisfy everybody from all sides lmfao

But the entire foundation of the request is that the media won't play if the mute parameter is removed. No one wants autoplay with sound, that's why the new autoplay policies were implemented in the first place. The browser / user should have ultimate control of their autoplay and sound preferences, not the site.

This is exactly what I want to / will happen if this gets changed.

Yeah, autoplay with sound is something almost no one wants. But if someone DOES want it, I say we should allow them to have it!
I rewrote the first post with the concerns I learned people had about it from their replies. Does it sound more clear than before?

on behalf of the majority

I honestly have no idea what this is supposed to conclude with??

I'm saying I do not want to be bombarded with sound without my consent, pushing a button with the knowledge sound is going to happen.
Just don't put autoplay. Autoplay directly implies it automatically plays the music whether I want it to play or not.
It's not autoplay if I have to click it.

Major browsers these days pause media that autoplays with sound, which is why Lanzer made the change to start videos muted and allow them to bypass this blocking. Before he made that change, the browser would catch that the profile was loading media with the autoplay parameter and stop it from playing, unless the user who was viewing the profile had indicated in their site preferences that they wanted to allow it. Now all videos autoplay silently in the background, which is pointless and annoying, and it should have been left the way it was.
