RapidWeaver Elements b31 (23180)  
dont know if this is meant to happen or not but I have a video on my home page which is set at never play auto and muted which seems ok when published but in edit mode every time I go to the page the video starts to play with the sound and the only way to stop it is press the pause button on the keyboard.

that’s not intended.

Just to check: are you using an MP4 video? can you post at least a screenshot of the settings you have for the video!

Thanks!

this is fixed in the next beta.

Side note: You’ll want to add a custom thumbnail image for the video. You can do this via the new Thumbnail group in the Image controls.

its only set to never here as I was trying to get it to stop in editor mode…when I publish I turn it to viewpoint and it has the image of the start of the video…so think that’s ok for me
