Stopping video from playing when another video is selected
Greetings Heroes!
I have 4 small videos embedded into 4 separate layers in a 360 course. I want to keep the controls at the bottom, but I noticed if you click on the base layer and select another video (layer) the last one keeps playing.
I can't figure out how to keep the start, stop and pause controls intact (not covering them with hotspots) as well as ending the video when another layer is selected.
Does anyone have any elegant solutions?
Thank you!

and the first what you have to do after import a video
remove "Show Until End" and set never "Show Always" for videos
-> now the original length is preserved (as far as my tests show)

Should be the default setting indeed. Or even better give the user the option to choose a default :)
Dear Math,
You are a genius! Thank you so much! I did not realise that idiosyncrasy with the videos.
Thank you so much for your help!!!
Wow, nice work Math and Jurgen.
This did not use to happen, must have been introduced in a recent update.
Great work!
my first suspect was the new 'modern' videoplayer in 3.65
New: Enable all learners to interact with videos via accessible controls that match the modern player style, exceed color contrast guidelines, and communicate perfectly with screen readers. Learners can even change the playback speed, switch to full-screen mode, and use picture-in-picture mode to move videos to a floating window.
but that was not the problem, because already 3.60* (January 2022) had the problem already

* i recently asked support if i could still get older installers for testing - unfortunately they said NO (meanwhile i collect all old installers)It's interesting that when I contacted Storyline support, they didn't seem to know anything about the video issue. The person who replied said he would investigate and get back to me. And he never did.
