Hi Jonathan and everyone!
I'll try to shed some light on all the issues I've seen relevant in this thread:
- video freeze when you select product variants
-Why doesn't it show up on mobile?
-add and improve blocks to the video-with-text section
I have been trying to avoid this bug. I have read a lot on the internet, and watched a lot of videos... Still I can't find a reason why the videos are stopped when you choose a variant of the product.
Of the thousand ideas I had, the last one was the one that worked for me. Include a pause and play button. In this way, when it stops you can start it again whenever you want. It's not the perfect solution, but it works.

I have also made some improvements. Now you have more options to edit the section. Added: desktop and mobile content alignment (left, right and center), a title caption... (by the way, if you want to change the color of the description text do it here: line 134 of the new code component-video-with-tex.css
If you want to edit the style of the button, add the following code at the beginning of the document: video-with-text.liquid ( starting on line 2, after {{ 'component-video-with-text.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }} )
<style>
/* Custom styles for the video control button */
.video-control-button {
background-color: transparent; /* Button background color */
border-radius: 8px; /* Button border radius */
font-size: 12px; /* Button font size */
padding: 6px 16px; /* Button internal padding */
color: #FFFFFF; /* Button text color */
}
.video-with-text__media {
position: relative;
}
/* Custom styles for the video controls container */
.video-controls {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
right: 10px;
}
</style>
For those wondering how to watch the video on mobile, KetanKumar has already answered that, but I see many still asking. I'll rewrite his answer:
1. Go to Online Store->Theme-> Edit code
2. Asset->/base.css ->paste below code at the bottom of the file.
@media screen and (max-width: 749px) {
.video-with-text video {
position: relative !important;
}
}
And I think that would be it! If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. Like if I helped you! 👍
