So I asked a question that was spefic but because it was asking how to do something and not about a error in code.

and it has 16 down votes and a few comments saying it's too broad. Like how more specic can I be I even gave visual examples. Man there some stuck up bitches.

What was the question?  Maybe we can guess at what their issue was and/or help you with it?

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

If you post the question here maybe someone could help.

 

I think it's because there's a lot of people just roll up and say 'here's my problem - fix it', before doing enough self-research before hand, during which they could have figured out the solution by themselves. (I'm not necessarily saying that's what you did, but I think that's the cause of their behaviour :))

 

 

 Almost as cool as my temps

I posted it here and no one knew, I can see why it's not something easy but I assumed they could know. It was about getting a video from drive to autoplay another video after one is done playing. Using all the videos that are on my drive.

That in itself is pretty vague, your other post mentioned this was on a website I assume you are creating?

 

To begin with, you haven't said what language are you programming it in :)

 

What drive is it on? Google drive? A local HDD on the server?

I can't use Vlc it has to be through Google drive. I can't stream them to my site live like that. I know how to embed drive videos but not how to make it autoplay them, a site I use does it so I know it's possable, I asked the coder of that site and he won't tell me.

- Where is the site hosted? Can't you just put the videos on the server?

- What are you using to embed the video? If you're using a proprietary player like embedded youtube or something then obviously you won't have much control over it

On my site I can't host them on, I only have 1 gb of storage and the videos are over 10 gb,

 

and thats at the problem I know if I embed the single video it will be just the video. So maybe if could get help on what to embed and how to set up.

If you're paying someone else to host the site, and only have 1GB of storage, I doubt you'd have enough bandwidth included in the package for people to watch videos over 10GB O.o Unless it stream the video direct from Google.

 

If you can get a direct link to the video you could experiment with other players.

e.g. 'www.google.com/myvideo.mp4'

I'm getting my host for free by a user of this fourm. So idk my bandwidth and what not, but that's why I need to videos hosted on drive.

 

this weekend I'm going to look into setting up my own server but that will take time. and I'll look into that,

Who's code? From where?

 

That's a JavaScript file, have you used it before?

Never used it, and the sore that does exactly what I want to do. Not the same videos but the same thing where they have videos from Google drive that play one after another

because they all expect you to be top notch programmers before going to the site.

I had a conversation with a colleague a couple of days ago, about how too many programmers are just like that. On some other forum there was someone who wanted to work on a project too and everyone was just like "dude, you should start smaller" or "you can't just make that" and stuff like that. I instead told him I could help him out a bit. So in the course of a week we exchanged about 10-15 PM's about various things. Some made me think "well, only a noob would not see the mistake here" to some being "that is a pretty good question/idea". 

 

Anyways, after this week I was able to help him quite a bit and he thanked me a lot.

You have to learn some how. And a lot of tutorials online are really not that helpful. They do tell you what to do and stuff but not always easy to understand. They must just forget where they came from and think there all big now.
