How to disable autoplay on Twitch stream embeds?

[themasterbrewer]

I've been embedding my Twitch streams on forum posts recently and it's come to my attention that they are automatically playing whenever someone loads the page, which is causing a lot of annoyance to forum users. Does anyone know how I can prevent this? I've tried the method on this thread but it didn't work, so I guess it might be outdated.

When I embed a Twitch stream (or other video) it doesn't give me any autoplay options and the code appears as follows:

[video]http://www.twitch.tv/themasterbrewer[/video]
The thread linked above includes some parameters from Twitch's API, including one for autoplay, which can be set to true or false. So I guess the question is whether there's a way to pass this parameter with the current video embed code. Anyone got any ideas?

Hello.

I do not think it is possible, it autostarts on Twitch aswell, and the old solutions does not seem to work. I recommend you to upload an image about your stream, and make it function as a link to your twitch channel, or upload it to your youtube.

They still has to do the same amount of clicks, and nothing will start automatically.

This ought to do it. Place this in Structure > Headers & Footers > Global Header.

<script type="text/javascript">
// Prevent Twitch embeds from autoplaying
var twitch_noautoplay = function(){
    $('.message iframe[src^="http://www.twitch.tv/"]').each(function(){
        var channel = $(this).attr('src').split('.tv/')[1].split('/embed')[0];
        $(this).attr('src','https://player.twitch.tv/?autoplay=false&channel='+channel);
    });
};
$(document).ready(function(){ twitch_noautoplay(); });
proboards.on('afterSearch',function(){ twitch_noautoplay(); });
</script>
