I have different number of slides visible at various breakpoints (3 on desktop, 2 on mobile landscape, 1 on mobile portrait).
This means that users need a different view time at each of these breakpoints
AutoPlay works and I can set an Interval in ms at the main breakpoint.
However, when I set the AutoPlay Interval in ms at a lower breakpoint (mobile landscape / portrait), it overwrites the setting used at the main breakpoint, not just at the lower breakpoints.
So, let’s say I set an interval on desktop to 30000. Then I set an interval on mobile landscape to 20000. This changes the interval to 20000 to both desktop and mobile. It seems to be a global setting, so breakpoint settings are not respected.
This needs to either be an “interval per visible slide” or we need to be able to set an interval per breakpoint.
Splide’s autoplay feature isn’t something that can be changed at different breakpoints.
If you look at the official options page, the options that can be changed at breakpoint have a tick on the right. None of the Autoplay options support it.
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate your time and insight.
I didn’t realize the sliders were built upon a 3rd party solution with this limitation.
I’ve been doing some research on web design best practices and it seems that sliders have a some serious drawbacks on clickthrough and SEO anyway. That’s backed by multiple studies and appears especially bad when auto-play is used.
I’m going to ditch auto-play and also explore what would happen if I broke the content out of the slider altogether.
