I wonder if there is a way to automatically play a video when the page loads, BUT with no volume and only hear the sound of the video when the user mouses over. Is there a way to make this happen in tubepress for WordPress?

 

Thanks!

Hi,
 
This isn't a baked-in feature of TubePress, but assuming you're using YouTube you could likely do this with a little jQuery along with the YouTube JavaScript Player API (which TubePress uses already). Some pseudocode might look like this:

var volumeUp = function (player) {

    var player = getYouTubePlayerObject(this);

    player.unMute();
}

jQuery(some-selector-for-all-youtube-iframes-on-page).each(function () {

    var player = getYouTubePlayerObject(this);

    player.mute();

}).mouseover(volumeUp);

Of course, feature requests are always welcome! But hopefully this will point you in the right direction?

Where do I paste this code? thanks!

The code itself won't run as it's just pseudocode. You would need to convert it into proper JavaScript and past it anywhere on the page with TubePress (preferably at the bottom of the document).

 

Unfortunately I won't be able to immediately develop this code for you since it would entail a good chunk of time. But hopefully it will point you or your developer in the right direction to getting the feature implemented.

 

Does that make sense?
