Challenge #112 - Issues with Videos

Hi Daniela,

You need to add autoplay (?autoplay=1) at the end of the web object. 

You current have: https://www.youtube.com/embed/iyjQGXE5aeE

And need to change to: https://www.youtube.com/embed/iyjQGXE5aeE?autoplay=1

I think that will resolve issues 1 and 2. Still looking at issue 3. 

The "hide layer when timeline completes" function is not working because the timeline is being run by the web object. My recommendation would be to set a trigger that states: Hide the timeline after a certain period of time and insert the length of the video + 1-2 seconds. Not sure if that is the best solution but is the one I would use. 

On the last issue: It is going to have the same problem with not associated the timeline ending on the layer. You should set a "visited" variable. Once the layer has been visited, the arrow changes to normal. 

I will set this up in the Storyline file and send back to you. I already updated the videos.

I was not able to hide the slide layer. If anyone has input on how to make that work, I would love to hear how it is done. I tried several things but was unsuccessful. I made the changes to with the arrows appearing and the video autoplay. The finished file is on Articulate Tempshare for viewing and I have attached the updated Storyline 2 file. 

The published file link is: http://s3.amazonaws.com/tempshare-stage.storyline.articulate.com/stp1a95tcvjlao51snubr71ior1uoh4/story.html

I hope that helps.

Wow Heather!  Thank you so much for taking the time to help me.  I will take a look at all this shortly.

Heather, just some comments:

1. When I saved the .story file and played it, the arrows did not work.
2. When I played the tempshare link, only the first arrow worked.
3. Also, do you know why the volume is so low?

I checked the build (settings) and both arrows were set to normal after visiting state of first two layers.

I tested the arrows. Let me test again and see if I changed something. 

I didn't do anything to the volume so not sure why it would play so low. Let me take a look and will resend the file.

I did the arrows again. Something must have happened with one of my triggers. The arrows will only work once published. I ran it in preview mode and they did not work but once I published they worked fine. 

Here is the tempshare link: http://s3.amazonaws.com/tempshare-stage.storyline.articulate.com/stp1a9bvien0l7g10nvoat1bjd8gd4/story.html

The volume was fine on mine...maybe a little low on the 2nd video but that should be driven by the YouTube web object. 

Let me know if I can be of further assistance. I love the challenge. :)

Once again, thanks for all your attention and assistance to resolving this Heather.  I will take a look at it shortly.

I played the Tempshare file.  The sound was better.  The second arrow never showed.  I will open the .story file next.

Weird.  When I Played the tempshare file again, the first arrow never showed?

I just tried it and both worked for me. I let the video play for about 5 seconds and then returned to the main screen. I have the first arrow appear after selecting 1 - Sorrento and the second arrow after selecting 2 - Tuscany. 

Both worked for me when I just played the file. Very strange that they did not work for you. 

Not sure how much help I am providing you, Daniela. I may just be providing more mysteries. lol

Heather, please note that I appreciate every post you have made.  It helps to know what works and what doesn't and for who.  It gives me a better idea of what might be happening at my end.  A BIG THANK YOU !

I will send it to support.  I am having other problems, like, Preview is now freezing on me?  

You are welcome! Just sorry I couldn't get it all working for you on your end. Let me know if I can help on anything else.
