Okay, another issue.

In config, I have selected OFF to the radio button "Video auto-start", yet everytime I )or anyone else) clicks on a video file (or music file) .. it opens and starts playing. This makes editing file descriptions or placing comments a real pain, among other things.

Is there anything in the code I can edit to stop this?

Post a link to a video that shows this behaviour. All the option does is set a parameter in the html, it is up to the browser to respect it.

Okay, was not aware of that!

You can select either of the two video files. Guests may view entire gallery. My default browser is Firefox 1.5. I have not tried IE6 or Opera.

Appreciate any help with this.

I understand why the "modify" button is not here, but I wish it was:)

Anyway, I just tried this in Opera and it is the same in that browser. Same thing with any of the Sound files. Perplexing:(

The autostart option is off in the html, and the videos do not auto start for me.

Gak ....  In that case, can I borrow your sig line?  Don't understand this at all! 2 browsers - same thing - and neither have options sets for auto-start. In other applications where vids or music are included, auto-start does not kick in.

Well ... guess more digging is in order.

My default is firefox too, here the autostart false option has no effect. For IE6 it's working as expected

GauGau/Nibbler ... please mark this thread as SOLVED. After going nuts a few hours, I discovered a plug-in I didn't realize I had installed in Firefox called "MediaPlayer Connectivity" that set all video and sound files to "autostart=true". I disabled that and it works as it's supposed to now.

Sweet mysteries of life:)
