Link to a specific video in WordPress Video Gallery

Product:

WonderPlugin Gallery

Question:

Great plugin first off! Love it. We are using the media skin and everything works great. We have about 20 videos in the gallery. The question is, we have links to videos from other pages but it doesn’t load that specific video and so the users have to find the video. Is it possible to properly form the link so it loads the video or is this not possible?

Answer:

You can use a URL parameter html5galleryid to specify a slide on page loading.

The parameter starts from 0. For example, the following URL will load the third slide on page loading:

https://www.wonderplugin.com/wordpress-gallery/?html5galleryid=2

Callback from WonderPlugin Gallery when a video is changed

Last updated on

Question:

* This question is for WonderPlugin Gallery Plugin.

I’d like to know if there is a way to get a call back from WonderPlugin when a video is changed in the gallery, this is to show related content to that specific video within the playlist.

Answer:

There are two events you can use:

onchange: The event will be be fired on changing the slide.
onvideoend: The event will be be fired when the video playing ends.

To use the events, firstly, you need to define a JavaScript function in your webpage, for example:

<script language="JavaScript">
    function onSlideChange(data) {
        try {
           console.log(data);
        } catch (error)   {}
    }
    function onVideoEnd(data) {
        try {
           console.log(data);
        } catch (error)   {}
    }
</script>

In the above code, data is the data array of current slide object, the definition is [index, Thumbnail address, File address, File address for video ogg file, Fire address for video webm file, Link address, Link target, Title, Description, Media type, Width, Height, Address for video poster image, Address for HD video, Address for HD Ogg file, Address for HD webm file].

Then in the plugin, Step 3, Options tab, Advanced Options, enter:

data-onchange="onSlideChange"
data-onvideoend="onVideoEnd"

Show the carousel above the gallery

Question:

I've just found out about your Photo & Video Gallery recently and I absolutely love it. I'm considering buying the commercial licence but before I do, I want to check with you about a feature that I can't figure out.

I am using the skin Gallery. In Gallery Options, there's a 'Show Thumbnail Carousel" checkbox, which only shows the carousel below the main display. I would love to have the carousel above it, but I don't see an option for that. Is this possible at all, perhaps through CSS? Thanks for your help and looking forward to hearing from you.

One MP4 format to play in all web browsers and devices

Product:

Wonder Gallery

Question:

Can I only use one mp4 video format to play in all web browsers?

Answer:

Yes, with our WordPress gallery plugin Wonder Gallery, you only need to provide one mp4 format to play in all web browsers and devices.

In iPhone, iPad, Android, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, IE 10 and above, the gallery plugin will use HTML5 to play the mp4 video.

In legacy web browsers, for example, Internet Explorer 8 and 9, the gallery plugin will use Flash to play the mp4 video.

If your mp4 video does not play in the web browsers and devices, it's probably because the video is not HTML5 compatible. You can view this tutorial to convert the video file to HTML5 compatible: How to convert video to HTML5 compatible.

I am using the WordPress Gallery plugin. What I saw the gallery, in the slider the video automatically starts, but on the iPad Air it doesn’t. The slider waits until you manually start the video.

Is there a way to start the video automatically on an iPad Air, or is this not possible?

Answer:

It's not possible. Video auto play is disabled on iPhone, iPad and Android. It's a limit by the devices.

Responsive video gallery and auto play

Last updated on

Question:

About the WordPress Photo & Video Gallery, is the gallery responsive? Can the videos be played in 'auto play' or in sequence?

Answer:

1. Yes, the gallery is responsive. In the Options tab -> Gallery Option, there is an option Responsive - Support responsive web design.

2. In the same tab, there is an option "Auto slide". If this option is on, the gallery will  auto play the image slideshow. But it still won't auto play video.

3. In the same tab, there is an option "Automatically play video". When this option is on, it will automatically play video and if the option "Auto slide" is on, it will play in sequence.  But "auto play video" is not supported on mobile and tablets, it's a limitation of the devices.
