In a previous article I talk about how to add a YouTube video to your MySpace profile. I have also noticed that lots of people ask for solution to make Youtube video auto play on MySpace.

Autostarting YouTube videos on MySpace is definitely possible. In essence it's very easy. All you need to do is to tweak your Youtube code a bit. The following procedure I put together will help you to auto play YouTube videos on MySpace.

This tutorial includes two parts:
Part 1: How to do this with YouTube code
Part 2: How to do this without YouTube code

Part 1: How to do this with YouTube code

Step 1. Go to Youtube and find the EMBED code for the video.
This embed code is in the “About This Video” section of the video and will be automatically be selected in the “Embed” textbox.



Step 2. Copy the embed code of the video on Youtube to NotePad
You can either use Ctrl+C on the keyboard or right click this box and select Copy to copy the code. Delete everything before <embed and everything after </embed>



Step 3. Add the &autoplay=1 suffix to the video URL as specified in the object and embed tags in the NotePad

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qrXmDiYHUY0&autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
</embed>

Step 4. Paste the code you just copied from Youtube in NotePad to your MySpace profile relative section



Step 5. Click Preview Profile and check how your profile looks.

Step 6. Click Save button to save the change.

Part 2: How to do this without YouTube code

Step 1. Download the Youtube video (tool needed: Leawo YouTube Download, it is free)
Download the Youtube video you want to add to your MySpace profile from the Internet to your PC with Leawo YouTube Download.

Step 2. Make the Youtube video auto play (tool needed: Moyea Web Player Pro, it is free for non-commercial use)
Launch Moyea Web Player Pro in your PC, add the FLV file you have just downloaded on your computer to the program. Moyea Web Player Pro is a flash video player maker which is a quick solution to generate a custom flash video player for website and add videos to web page.



Find "Template" menu>>Options>>Playback settings, uncheck the "Pause at first frame" option, and this will make your Youtube video auto playe on web page. See the screenshot of this feature below:



Step 3. Moyea web player Pro publishes some files like a swf file named mwplayer.swf and a html file named index.html

Step 4. Upload all the published files to the same folder of a host server, e.g.: http://www.free-webh...com/foldername/

Step 5. open index.html with notepad or dreamweaver, edit the embeded code to

<embed src="/mwplayer.swf"
width="500" height="450" align="middle" quality="high" name="player"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/">

Note: 1. mwplayer.swf is the actual flash video player. If it resides in another directory, then point to it with a relative path (e.g. video/mwplayer.swf) or an absolute path (e.g. http://www.yourdomai...eo/mwplayer.swf ).

Step 6. Copy and paste the edited embedded code to your Myspace profile relative section. Then the YouTube flash video will appear on your MySpace profile and auto start to play.
