Here’s my dumb autoplay plugin to autoplay and loop ALL videos (I don’t want to use media-extended and have to manually add ![[example.mp4#play&loop]] to everything).
import { Plugin } from "obsidian";
export default class AutoplayPlugin extends Plugin {
async onload() {
console.log("LOADED");
this.registerInterval(
window.setInterval(() => {
const videoElements = activeDocument.querySelectorAll("video");
videoElements.forEach((videoElement) => {
// Set the autoplay and loop attributes for each video element
videoElement.autoplay = true;
videoElement.loop = true;
videoElement.play();
});
}, 1000)
);
}
}
I’m using a timer to set autoplay=true and loop=true every 1 second, because I don’t know how else to trigger this. Also using activeDocument to hit the pop out windows too.
I tried a markdown postprocessor, but it did not do anything for video elements.
this.registerMarkdownPostProcessor((element, context) => {
const videoElements = element.querySelectorAll("video");
videoElements.forEach((videoElement) => {
videoElement.autoplay = true;
videoElement.loop = true;
videoElement.play();
});
});
In the postprocessor, a console.log(element) shows stuff like callout blocks, but not video embeds.
