Pause Carousel Slideshow when Video Content is playing in Carousel

It does that already.

Have a look at the demo page here:
https://edgewebpages.com/
and look at the second slider demo on the page – Video Popups Demo.

If this is not happening on your site, I would guess that a JavaScript error is being generated by something (plugin/theme) that is breaking jQuery on your site. To check this press CTRL+SHIFT_J to open the JavaScript console on the front-end.

Hi @simonpedge,

Thanks for the reply. Noticed in the provided link with the demo, all the videos that are in the carousel are from youtube, which will force wordpress to be in fullscreen mode before playing a video, understand this causes a pause affect on the carousel and users will need to hit the next button in order to play the next video. However, my carousel comprises of a mixture of videos and photos, thus the videos I am playing are all uploaded to my wordpress site directly and played locally. Can we preset the said pause conditions for videos which are sourced from the local wordpress host itself ? I tested this with Youtube videos and it works exactly like the one in the demo page which you had shared with me.

However the objective is not to put the user in full screen mode and to play the videos it is on the carousel, when the video playback is completed only then it will rotate to the following carousel, either a picture or video in the configured carousel.

Thanks again for your help ??

Regards,
Wen Jun.

The popup feature for videos for Slide Anything PRO only support only YouTube & Vimeo embedded videos. The YouTube videos are not actually played full screen – see secreenshot:

When I created SA PRO, I added JavaScript code to pause the slider when the Video Popup opens. Generally its not a good idea these days to play videos stored locally with your site’s media library for the following reasons:
1) Performance – platforms like YouTube do a good job of upscaling/downscaling video playback depending on the visitors internet speed, so when you upload a video to YT, it will automatically create a 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p & 1080p versions and serve the version that visitor is capable of viewing
2) Device compatibility – different devices require different video formats, so some devices will view MPEF, others may require AVI or FLV, M4V etc – YouTube does a good job of sorting this all out for you as well
3) Space – the final frontier & my final point. Videos take up a ton of space within your site’s hosting.

Generally when my clients have tried self-hosted videos in the past, its been a bad idea, and video playback generally very slow with buffering etc.
