Horace - Roman lyric poet & satirist (65 BC - 8 BC)
Currently the Http VLC embeeded Web page Streamer/player only plays When u Click "go" button this states "go to whatever the Text area says" now the text area itself has a default address for it to go to .. now to the question
How would i get it to auto play on Page Load ? and not have to click the go button(don't say "autoplay: true" thats not working for me)
