How to disable auto-play for local video in iframe

Question

How to disable auto-play for video when src is from my local pc?

Answer 1

You can set the source of the player as blank string on loading the page, in this way you don't have to switch to video tag.

var player = document.getElementById("video-player");
player.src = "";

When you want to play a video, just change its src attribute, for example:

function play(source){
   player.src = source;
}
