Autplay disabled in Chrome

Google Chrome disabled all autoplay now, the user has to manually start the playback.
When autoplay is attempted by JavaScript, it also fails with an exception.
The Flowplayer plugin/flowplayer lib doesn’t seem to catch the exception,
the autoplay fails and manual starting playback also fails now because flowplayer seems to have crashed.
The solution is to add proper exception handling to flowplayer plugin so in case of failed autoplay start, the user can still manually start the playback.
