I made a script to autostart my ad when the page load:
function onAdSchedulingComplete(ads) {
if(ads.length > 0) {
jwplayer("mediaplayer_{{VAR:contentId}}").play();
}
else {
}
}
This works, but not the first time i enter the page, starts working after first refresh.
Does anyone know how to make it work, in the first load of the web ??
Just thinking aloud, but the player may still be locked when that first onAdSchedulingComplete() is called - so your "play()" may not be doing anything.. it's just a guess.
Have you tried listening to the player "onReady" event to see if it can be used to start playback first time around?
e.g:
jwplayer("mediaplayer_{{VAR:contentId}}").onReady(function() {
jwplayer("mediaplayer_{{VAR:contentId}}").play();
});Just a thought...

i am working locally, so i dont have an url to show you =(
i am trying to put the function onAdSchedulingComplete(ads) call after the jwplayer.setup()... but i dont seems to make any difference its hard to tell when cache is involved. Any ideas?
Interesting... do you have a URL where I can see this happening?
