How to autoplay iPlayer video?
===

I've spent ages trying to work this out. I've found [this handy tool][1] to generate embed code for iPlayer videos. 

It works great, but I'm trying to get the video to play on load, as I'm going to be displaying them on a remote screen, with a browser in full screen (chrome).

I made lots of attempts at this, the closest I got being this:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
      <title>iPlayer Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    
    <!-- embed code -->
    <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/9player.swf?revision=10344_10570" style="" id="bbc_emp_embed_bip-play-emp" name="bbc_emp_embed_bip-play-emp" bgcolor="#000000" quality="high" wmode="default" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="embedReferer=&embedPageUrl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01l4gb4/Top_Gear_Series_13_Episode_1_(new_series)/?t=00m01s&domId=bip-play-emp&config=http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/iplayer/config.xml&playlist=http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlist/b01l4gb4&holdingImage=http://node2.bbcimg.co.uk/iplayer/images/episode/b01l4gb4_640_360.jpg&config_settings_bitrateFloor=0&config_settings_bitrateCeiling=2500&config_settings_transportHeight=35&config_settings_cueItem=b00ldy1k:875&config_settings_showPopoutCta=false&config_messages_diagnosticsMessageBody=Insufficient bandwidth to stream this programme. Try downloading instead, or see our diagnostics page.&config_settings_language=en&guidance=unset" width="640" height="395"> 
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
      setTimeout(function() {
        var ip = document.getElementById("bbc_emp_embed_bip-play-emp");
        ip.Play();
      },2000);
    </script>
    
    </body>
    </html> 

This throws the following error in my JS console:

 > Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject. 

Is there *any* possible way that I could embed an iPlayer video and get it to play with JavaScript? I don't care how hacky the solution is, or if it is required to embed it in a different way.
