This is a possible simple solution to get the pause on click working when using only embedded media video content in you slides.

In stead of using click() we need to use mousedown for this to work in internet explorer.

It's also not working for me in firefox. Is that a different issue?

For YouTube Video with emfield we've implemented a solution. However it is reacting to the custom YouTube actions and implementing its specific API based on embedded player and with swfobject2 (swftools module).

It seems to me there's no generic solution to cover all video providers and with broad compatibility.

Hmm, In firefox the pause works with Vimeo embedded, but then, if I click a different thumbnail in the slideshow, the new video doesn't appear.

Also, when I went to add the patch by hand in Dreamweaver, it said that there was a syntax error. Could that be the issue with the whole slideshow breaking?

Ok I'm going to mark this as won't fix. Pausing for a video really sucks. I think the only real solution is to have the player make a javascript call when the user presses play. In 3.x there is a method you can call that will help pause everything that needs pausing. In 2.x you just need to call the $('').cycle('pause');

Hi,
redndahead could you please post how to implement (and where) the call to $('').cycle('pause');
I would appreciated it!
Thanks in advance!
