Chrome /Webaudio Autoplay

Feature Requests
#1

Seems like chrome has a issue with autostarting an exported patch where the webaudio api is used : https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes
So far an user interaction is needed before the start of the patch.
This is an issue for many other patches here I see here as example , too.
As I replaced the autostart at the onload event in the exported index.html of a patch with a button onload it worked fine in chrome.

Maybe it would make sense to add a request at onload to check for this policy - and present a button if active ?

yeah. i have problems simulating this with chrome or chrome canary. will investigate as soon as chorme 70 is out.

hi,

so we have this now, which should help with the issue:

e.g. connect the “clicked” to the play boolean of the audiobufferplayer

cheers!

the thing is, after one successfull user interaction chrome is fine with everything from that domain.
you have to “Reset Site Settings” to get it fail again…
