I posted this last week and a couple people mentioned the intersection observer API. I have fair knowledge of CSS, HTMl, and JS and figured with ChatGPT I might be able to pull this off.
Basically- I’m using a plugin to display posts (content views plugin). The posts are loaded using AJAX. When the user is scrolling and the featured image is centered on the screen I want a MP4 to load and play. *this is a common feature many video streaming websites have*
I tried using the observer API to change the featured image to an MP4 with a URL for the video that’s taken from a meta field of the post. I made a dozen attempts with different approaches in 6 hours and eventually gave up.
My guesses: *AJAX* Idk how AJAX works but after reading a little documentation it sounds like this might be the issue. I also think it’s *The plugin itself*.
I couldn’t find any plugins that do this for listing blog posts and I would pay money for this feature.
