Resume video after exiting course
Thank you Ashley, great info. I have another question about video behavior for while inside a course. Steve's solution works well for me if you start a video, use a button or hotspot to go to a different slide after pausing the video, and then when you come back it resumes where you left off in the video.
What I'd like to do is allow the user to advance or rewind using the video controls, pause the video with Steve's method, and then when they come back to the slide they would resume to wherever they advanced or rewound to.
Using Steve's example Resume_video_test.story, you can test this behavior if you add video controls to his video, and then when playing it use the controls to fast forward to anywhere, like the 30 second mark. Then use his button to take you to the exit loop slide, click the button on that slide to resume the video, but you won't be taken to the 30 second mark, you'll be taken to wherever the video was before you fast forwarded.

Great question, Travis. When videos are set to play automatically, they are synced to the slide's timeline. Using the video controls, the video becomes unsynced from the slide's timeline.
Could you instead use the player seekbar to scrub the video (and the timeline of the slide)?
