Description Alexander 2011-06-04 12:03:50 UTC

Version:           2.6 (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

I really like the ability to play videos in Gwenview when browsing my photo/video albums. But, the fact that the videos start automatically (with sound and all) is really annoying.

Now I certainly don't want to disable the video support completely, I just want it to be in stopped mode by default when viewing them. An option for this (for people who like the current behavior) would be nice.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open some folder with photos and videos and start viewing photos one by one. Once you stumble across a video, expect aural annoyance.

Confirmed. This would be nice.

Add option to disable autoplaying videos

This prevents video from automatically starting when browsing.

Autoplay videos when browsing.
