<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>Okay, if not many users want it, no problem :).  Many of us (me and my colleagues) have found the need for auto-pause, especially when we change windows using Alt+Tab, or open a browser, or situations like that. When I open my browser to quickly check my mail, the video keeps running in the background, so I then go back and manually pause it. And we already have the pause-when-minimized option, so I decided to extend it by adding this feature of pausing when the user not actually watching the video playback .  And playback is resumed when the user is again watching the video. So, I figured may be many others might use it, hence the patch.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway, for those who want this feature or just want to see how it works, use this patch, the one I posted earlier gives white space errors. A clean patch:</div><div><br></div><div>Author: Sanjeev M K <<a href="mailto:sanjeevmk4890@gmail.com">sanjeevmk4890@gmail.com</a>>   IRC Nick : s-mk</div>
