@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

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

sdetweil

@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

ruskythegreat

@sdetweil No change ;(

sdetweil

@ruskythegreat yes, and the doc says it defaults

 Defaults to no-user-gesture-required.

it would be interesting if you used chromium instead , if your config says

address:"0.0.0.0",

then try from any other system

@sdetweil It doesn’t work from Chrome 95.0.4638.54

@ruskythegreat boooooo
