Hello,
I’ve a pre-sales question.Does this plugin has Autoplay/Autopause in/out viewport implemented?
Option: autopause boolean
Whether a player should autopause when it is outside of the viewport. Default: false true, false Example: autopause: trueGreetings,
Eric

The demo of scroll-autoplay does this with each video once? When you scroll up again there’s no more action?
It isn’t very clear what is going on in fact.
Hello Eric,
Yes, as you can see our player has autoplay implemented. The video starts playing when it’s in your viewport and stops when it’s out of it.
After leaving the video you need to play it manually since it could lead to issues when there are multiple videos embedded on the same page.
Let us know if you have any additional questions,
JurajHello Eric,
the way it works is not because it could cause issues, it’s a deliberate choice. Like you noticed it autoplays on your way down the page, but if you go up again it won’t autoplay again.
However that’s not always ideal, so in the Beta version (any license user can switch to that: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/switching-fv-player-pro-to-beta ) of FV Player Pro we did add another setting:
Also work when scrolling up and do not stop autoplaying other videos on page if user paused some video
That makes the autoplay work also when scrolling up.
For upcoming FV Player 7.5 we also prepared another improvement, where the videos that go outside of viewport do not stop the playback (reset the position) but only pause.
Thanks,
MartinHello Martin,
It would be the natural way to do I think with autoplay on scroll.
Autoplay when in viewport (up or down scrolling), Autopause when out of viewport (up or down scrolling) even if you have manually stopped one of the video’s if there are more on the page.
And it would be fantastic to have the choice mute or unmuted, because sometimes you “need” unmuted on desktops.
What about autoplay on hover with mouse? Is that hard to implement? You see it on several sites.
Greetings,
Eric
Hello Eric,
we sincerely apologize for the severely delayed answer. Your message got sent to an inbox, where it got lost, instead of being posted here.
Regarding unmuted autoplay, some browsers are now using muted autoplay too. However, if you go to Settings -> FV Player -> Sitewide FV Player Defaults -> Autoplay and set it to “Yes”, the videos will autoplay with sound, if possible. If not, the video starts to play again, this time muted. You can also set this for individual videos via the shortcode editor.
Please, keep in mind, that Scroll Autoplay is an FV Player Pro feature.
As for autoplay on mouse hover, it sounds interesting. I will forward this to our development team, to see what they have to say.
Thanks,
Maria
