How do I stop an HTML5 video from reloading when a new page is opened?

trevorellis

I have embed an HTML5 video in the header in a module titled 'Video'. This is set to automatically play and loop when you are using the website. However, every time you click on a link to open a new page, this module reloads. It takes a second to reappear and it restarts from the beginning. Is there a way to make it so the HTML5 video does not reload when a new page is opened and instead just carries on playing?

Here is the code that I have used:
<video style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" src="images/sample_sped_002.mp4" autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" muted="true"></video>

Hi,

I think that it's impossible within Joomla module, you will need special script / code to achieve that.

saguaros Okay thanks. If it is impossible to specifically stop the video from reloading, is there anyway to stop the module in its entirety from reloading?

Basically, when page reloads, all of its elements will reload then. I recommend you to seek for an extension in JED which supports this kind of feature for video.
