When auto-play videos play anyway

Reader James Haring would like to do something about videos that play unbidden in Safari. He writes:</p>

I read your column about blocking auto-play videos (http://www.macworld.com/article/2042704/how-to-block-auto-play-videos.html) and I’ve installed ClickToPlugin (http://hoyois.github.io/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/) per your recommendation. But it doesn’t seem to be working. What am I doing wrong?

<p>
I use ClickToPlugin with Safari as well and have no issues with it failing to block the Flash videos that are thrust at me. Given that it works for me I’m going to suggest that you check the plugin’s settings.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2449808/when-auto-play-videos-play-anyway.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
