Flicker when loading first slide video content

[helmer]

Hi,

Having video content on your first slide, on init, the loading process already shows the content, then flickers once and re-loads itself. Checking the traffic, external request is issued twice, which is most likely the reason behind this flickering.

I am guessing this "load twice" is done due to building of hidden previous/next slides.

You can experience this here.

Hi Helmer!

The main issue is that the video extension needs to initialize the video API. In order to do that it needs to change the iframe src or the url of the embedded object. When it does that, on window ready because it needs AnythingSlider already set up, you get a flicker. I would love to get rid of it, but by the time I released the video extension I was sick of looking at it LOL.

I do think the extension should check to see if the API is already initialized - I thought I did =/ - I started with the assumption that most users won't take the time to add the api string to the video code themselves.

I guess this answered your question, so I'm closing the issue.
