        @ruskythegreat i understand… did u try to change the code to the new webPreferences object parm?

        in general they are stopping autoplay because customers are screaming at them (I hate it too in general purpose use)…

            @ruskythegreat there is already a WebPreferences object in the electron.js file, just down a few lines from your change.
            line 30

            look at the doc link for autoplay, to get the right syntax/spelling

            and add the key and value to the WebPreferences object

              @sdetweil Thanks for all your help with this.
              It’s still not autoplaying :(
              I tried with the autoplayPolicy with the no-user-gesture-required so: -
              autoplayPolicy: no-user-gesture-required,

              C&P to eliminate typos!

              So now the whole webpreferences entry reads: -

                          webPreferences: {
                                  autoplayPolicy: no-user-gesture-required,
                                  contextIsolation: true,
                                  nodeIntegration: false,
                                  zoomFactor: config.zoom
                          },
              

              But MM doesn’t start!

                @ruskythegreat that string needs quotes

                in JavaScript

                the thing to the left of : does not need quotes
                if the thing to the right is a number or true/false
                no quotes
                if the thing to the right is a symbol { or [ no quotes
                otherwise
                if it contains letters, it needs quotes.

                single or double does matter as long as they are the same on both ends

                  Sorry, I did try that but forgot to update the post!
                  It currently reads: -
                  autoplayPolicy: “no-user-gesture-required”
                  But still doesn’t autoplay

                    @ruskythegreat yes, I mentioned that others had found the same issue…

                    try this one thing, (I don’t think it will help but)
                    clear the Electron config folder, will be recreated on next electron startup
                    (zoom setting is saved here somewhere)

                    stop MagicMirror
                    rm .rf ~/.config/Electron
                    start MagicMirror
