I use

{\usebackgroundtemplate{\includemedia[
      activate=pageopen,
      deactivate=pageclose,
      width=128mm, height=96mm,
      addresource=mymovie.mp4,
      flashvars={
         src=mymovie.mp4
&loop=false
&autoPlay=true
      }
      ]{}{StrobeMediaPlayback.swf}}
\begin{frame}[plain]


\end{frame}
}
