Autoplay doesn’t work with Ajax

[Solved]

Markus R. 2 years, 11 months ago

Hey there,

I have problems with getting the autoplay to work. I don’t want it on the whole site so in my sitewide settings the autoplay is disabled. But if I turn on the autoplay in the Post, nothing happens.

Additional information: The Post for which I want to enale autoplay is audio-only and it’s loaded with ajax. In my compatibility settings for FV-Player ‚Load Javascript everywhere‘ is also enabled.

Best regards
Markus

Hello Markus,

it’s true that we do not process autoplay for the Ajax requests.

Detecting a finished Ajax call and then running a check for Autoplay wouldn’t be a problem:
```
<script>
jQuery( document ).ajaxComplete(fv_autoplay_exec);
</script>
```
This might work for you, or perhaps you need to use the event which you theme is using for Ajax.

But I wonder what should happen if you then load another post with Ajax. Would that also autoplay?

That’s why I haven’t found a definitive answer for how this could be a core part of our player settings.

Thanks,
Martin

Hey Martin,

It works!!! But only the first time I open the pop-up. Is there a solution for that?

Kind regards

Hello Markus,

here’s an update to that code to do allow that:
```
<script>
jQuery( document ).ajaxComplete( function() {
  fv_player_did_autoplay = false;
  fv_autoplay_exec();
  jQuery('[data-fvautoplay]').removeAttr('data-fvautoplay');
});
</script>
```
Thanks,
Martin
