==================
Hi, I am trying to create a survey where participants view a video and make comments as they go along, ideally they would watch the video and then at relevant points to them they can stop the video and this will trigger a set series of questions. Is this possible?

Use JavaScript pause event for an HTML video element to trigger showing question(s)

- www.w3schools.com/tags/av_event_pause.asp

So, for example, some HTML like this in the source of a text-display question:

Code:
<div class="video-wrapper">
   <video id="myVideo" width="320" height="240" controls>
      <source src="path/to/your/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
      Your browser does not support the video tag.
  </video>
</div>

And, this script (using jQuery) also in that question source:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" data-author="Tony Partner">
 
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
    // Identify this question
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
     
    // Hide all other questions
    $('.question-container').not(thisQuestion).hide();
 
    // Listener on the video
    $('#myVideo').on('pause', function(e) {
      $('.question-container').not(thisQuestion).fadeIn(500);
    });
  });
</script>

It is all provided by Tpartner, he even attached an example survey (LSS) that you can import and see for your self.

I think my total beginner status is tripping me up - when I tried to use the example survey nothing played at all.
I have spent hours on the forum etc but can’t get it to work, I have tried to work around with if statement etc but still stuck.

Where is your LS hosted? If it is a university or big organisation, there is a good chance that the XSS filter is on and the Javascript required for Tpartner's solution is most probably filtered out.

Therefore, it is very important to that when you ask about things like that, to mention the LS Version you are using, the Theme/Template as well as where it is hosted.
