video not auto playing issue in chrome and brave
i had this error the other day when i was adding an auto play video to a page.
the error was:
Javascript
Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first. https://goo.gl/xX8pDD
video_play @ (index):507
i had this script to play the video if it was not playing
Javascript
function video_play() {
video = document.getElementById('my_video');
var isPlaying = video.currentTime > 0 && !video.paused && !video.ended && video.readyState > 2;
if (!isPlaying) {
video.play();
}
}
setTimeout(video_play, 1000);Apparenly this is caused if your video has sound, so all you need to do is add the muted tag to the video element.
So if you are getting this error just add muted="muted" to your video tag and it should fix the issue.

<video id="my_video" loop autoplay muted="muted">
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."
I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
