<![CDATA[How to disable autoplay in Youtube]]>Hello everyone

I'm using Opera 31.0. It used to be possible to prevent Youtube videos from automatically playing, but Opera no longer give me the option to click to play, even though "click to play" is enabled in the settings. Perhaps because Youtube now uses HTML5 instead of Flash? How can I prevent YouTube videos from just playing automatically?

Thanks
Samuel

better solution is to use Magic Action, force HTML5 video and disable auto-play, auto-load etc... (at least for me)
version from Chrome web store works fine, version from Opera addons store is old/bugged one

I wonder if Magic Actions only works on Youtube

Yes, that's the reason for the name "Magic Actions for Youtube".

I wonder if Magic Actions only works on Youtube -- I haven't tried it with other web sites that use HTML5 video. As for ImprovedTube, I just love the fact that I can watch videos at higher speed.

Magic Actions
ImprovedTube - YouTube Extension
There seems to be an overabundance of youtube extensions to sort through.

But i guess that just a few claim to stop autoplay.

Improved Tube may work too.

I did try several extensions myself, but perhaps/hopefully you know of one or two that actually work.

I was trying to stop Opera from "automatically playing" the video when I visit Youtube. Currently, if you visit a Youtube page with a video on it, the video starts playing immediately, even if you have "click to play" enabled in Opera.

[I think it was fairly clear what I meant if one reads my whole post instead of just the title of my post, but in case it wasn't: I want the "click to play" setting to work as expected, also on Youtube.]

The solution that I found was the extension which forces Youtube to use Flash instead of HTML5. If you force Youtube to use Flash instead of HTML5, then Opera's "click to play" feature works correctly on Youtube.

If it is blue then youtube will play video after video forever. If it is gray it will only play the video you select and then stop.

I installed it and it did nothing to stop auto play. But I sure would like to prevent youtube from jumping out of the current page to the next selection.
