[IPython-dev] Embedded Videos in Slideshows

Damián,

I have one more question on the topic.  I noticed if I have an cell at the
top of the notebook that is set to be skipped in the presentation, it
messes up the audio control's autoplay.  Specifically the automatic pause
of playback when I move on to the next slide.  Has this been noticed
elsewhere?

I noticed that the top cell was getting switched to a markdown cell from a
Heading 1, and so I added a cell at the top to act as a buffer at the top.
 Once I started the slideshow, the audio controls would start playing
correctly but they would keep playing once I advanced to the next slide.
However when I removed the skipped cell at the top the problem went away.

As for the top cell switching from Heading 1 to markdown, I cannot rule out
that the cause was that my mouse accidentally clicking on the drop down
menu since I haven't reproduced it.

Since I fixed the playback problem, I'm just curious.

Thanks,

Damon
