Document Classes ⇒ Auto-play for Movie in Presentation

[djpbarry]

Hello all,

I'm putting together a presentation with beamer, but I can't get movies to auto-play. Anybody had a similar problem? Here's a MWE of my code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{movie15}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}{Title}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \centering
  \includemovie[autostart,loop,poster]{0.7\textwidth}{0.7\textheight}{DemoVideo_ContAdj_LR.mov}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

Any ideas?

I am having the same problem when I compile on my Mac, but when I compile on my PC, it plays the movie automatically. It seems that despite the effort to make LaTeX cross platform, there are still some bugs.

Not so much a matter of LaTeX, but more one of the used viewer. Furthermore movie15 is obsolete and should be replaced by media9.
