Ok everyone, I understand now. I’m very grateful that you took the time to reply. I hope, David, that this feature of “creating custom buttons in the editing toolbar” will remain.
But now, if you allow me, I’d like to change the subject a bit. I’m not sure whether you can answer two different questions in the same post, so if necessary, there is a post I had already made earlier about this topic.(Video and audio should only play together, at the same time)
Since there is an Anki developer here, who probably knows why this happens, I’d like to talk to you, David, about a bug in AnkiDroid. It’s about how audio and video are played.
Why is it that when a video file (mp4) is playing and you tap to play an audio file (mp3), the video that was playing before does not stop, and both play at the same time?
To explain it better: when a video file (mp4) is playing and you press “play” on an audio file (mp3), the video that was already playing does not stop. Both play at the same time, which is a problem because my notes contain both audio and video.
The same thing happens if a video (mp4) is playing and you press play on another video (mp4). The first one does not stop, and both videos play at the same time. Please fix this.
However, this does not happen with audio and audio (mp3 and mp3). That is, if one audio file is playing and you press “play” on another audio file, the first one stops; they do not play at the same time.
Why does this work correctly for audio + audio, but not for video + video or audio + video? It should work the same way for both videos and audios.
Are you going to fix this in a way that will be permanent? I mean, if it gets fixed, will it stay fixed and not change again after an update?
Notes:
I use AnkiDroid and I’m on the latest version. I add normal audio and video files to Anki (I download them and put them into Anki). I don’t use any code or special settings that could be causing this.
I asked this question on Reddit, and someone said that this does not happen in Anki for desktop. That is, if a video is playing and you play an audio file, the video stops. They don’t play at the same time. This suggests that it might be a bug in AnkiDroid. It seems like this part was overlooked.
I also tested it on AnkiWeb, and it behaves like AnkiDroid — actually, it’s worse. Even audio doesn’t work correctly there. That is, if one audio is playing and you press play on another audio, the first one does not stop. Both play at the same time.
Note:
If you’re interested, here is a screenshot of the Reddit conversation. I tried to reply, but I don’t know why my comment is not appearing publicly.
