Enable Custom Slide Durations & Video-Sensitive Timing for Homepage Sliders

We recently added a short video to the final slide of our homepage slider. However, the video does not have time to finish before the slider auto-advances.

Currently, all slides share a global timing setting, which isn’t suitable for video content. Additionally, videos continue playing in the background even after their slide is no longer visible, which creates a disjointed user experience.

We’d like to suggest the following improvements:

  1. Custom slide duration – Ability to define different timing per slide (e.g. 15s for a video, 6s for static).

  2. Video-aware logic – Option to detect and delay auto-advance until an embedded video has finished playing.

  3. Standardised video integration – A future-proofed way to add and control video content within sliders.

This would help improve visual storytelling and create a better user experience for content-heavy or media-based slides.

    In the short term you maybe able to do this (or something similar) with Common Ninja widgets. We have integrated quite a few on our site www.flowstar.co.uk
