Problem Description:
I’m trying to implement a feature where videos automatically play when they enter the viewport and scroll to the next video when less than 30% of the current video is visible. Currently, I have videos playing and pausing based on their visibility in the viewport, but I’m struggling to implement the scrolling functionality.
What I have tried:
I used the IntersectionObserver
to detect when the videos are in view and play or pause them. However, I also want the page to scroll to the next video when the user has scrolled more than 30% past the current video.
Here’s the code I’m working with:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
const videos = document.querySelectorAll('.video-player');
// Create an intersection observer
const observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries) => {
entries.forEach(entry => {
const video = entry.target;
// If the video is in view
if (entry.isIntersecting) {
video.play(); // Play the video when it enters the viewport
} else {
video.pause(); // Pause the video when it leaves the viewport
}
});
}, {
threshold: 0.7 // Play the video when 70% is visible
});
// Observe each video element
videos.forEach(video => {
observer.observe(video);
});
});
What I need:
- I want to automatically scroll to the next video when less than 30% of the current video is visible.
- The current implementation doesn’t seem to work as expected. The videos don’t always scroll to the next one, and sometimes the videos pause or behave inconsistently.
Any suggestions on how I can improve the code to achieve the desired functionality would be greatly appreciated!
