Comment 1 for bug 615783

Hi Markus:

I have been thinking about that and I agree with you that having to start the video with the mouse is not a very good solution. What I thought might be a good way of handling the control of videos is to allow the toggling of the state of the video as an effect. This should solve the problem in an elegant and flexible way and also allow "autoplay" by assigning the order number "0" to the effect (similar to how "initial" views can be achieved now by assigning the order number "0" to a view).

Let me know what you think about the idea.

Cheers,
Hannes
