Replaying Videos

Good Morning,

Try clicking on the gear icon next to the video layer and change the revisiting option to: Reset to initial state

Sorry, I see you already tried that. Could you share your story file?

Hi Ady,

I think it's because you are  not revisiting the slide but rather restarting the slide you are on. I don't think the latter is possible. Perhaps at the end of the video layer, you send the user automatically to a slide with a timeline of 1/4 of a second and then automatically send the user back to the video slide which is reset to initial state.

Cheers,

Julie 

Thanks Russell. Here's the SL file. You can see the video layer loads up when you click the replay button, but the video doesn't replay.

Hi Julie,

That's worked that has. That's really helpful thank you so much.

Really surprised you can't replay a video without taking someone away from a slide and then back in again. Have you come across this before?

Thanks again,

Ady

You're welcome Ady. Someone on this forum taught me this trick of adding a very short timeline to make some features work the way you expect. It has come in handy.

Cheers,

To replay videos, i create another layer called "envideo" with an image,  that covers all the video to prevent clicking on the play control. That image has the trigger to play the video and hide this layer...  and, in the video, i use a trigger to make visible the layer "endvideo" when the video completes.

Julie. Quick question for you. When you use this technique, when you get the redirect to transfer the user back to the 'previous slide' does this put them back to the last slide they visited, or the previous slide in the sequential order?

Thanks Juanjo. Great tip thank you. Will definitely try that.

Hi Ady,

I'm not sure I understand your question. I don't think you should use the prev function in your trigger. You should use the actual slide number. If you are referring to the PREV button in the player, I think you could still use the prev function since the prev slide is so short.

Cheers,

Julie
