Regretfully, every time when this page is loaded StellarMate's site sends this code (can be checked by "Inspect..." in Chromium):

<html><head><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"></head><body><video controls="" autoplay="" name="media"><source src="https://www.stellarmate.com/images/videos/polar_align.webm" type="video/webm"></video></body></html>

This "autoplay=""" makes the video to autoplay (and download) regardless of the <embed> tag parameters, CSS tweaking, and browser configuration.

I have asked gurus to help in our Doc Team list but no one answered so far.

Can we just put these videos from StellarMate on some other hosting (YouTube) to disable autoplay?

It cannot be reproduced anymore.

Yes the bug still exists

Change the status temporarily. Will try to fix it again.

Comment 6 Jasem Mutlaq 2020-04-14 15:15:05 UTC

This is indeed a bug with KDE's documentation system. It seems there is no way to prevent auto-play.
