Issues with Audio Playlist and Video Component on Thunkable Live

Questions about Thunkable

Dear Thunkable Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I’m currently building an educational app using Thunkable, and I’ve encountered two issues that I would like to report. I would appreciate your support or any guidance you can provide.

  1. Audio Playlist Issue:
    I created an audio playlist with 20 tracks (from 1 to 20). When tapping the “Next” button to go forward through the playlist (e.g., from 1 → 2 → … → 20), each audio file plays correctly.

However, after reaching item 20, when I continue tapping “Next” (which loops the list back to 1), the audio does not play anymore, even though the correct image and number are displayed. Interestingly, I didn’t change anything in my blocks, but after some time, the issue resolved itself without any clear reason.

  1. Video Playback on Thunkable Live (Mobile):
    I am using the built-in Video component. On the web (desktop) preview, everything works fine: Play, Pause, and even replaying the video after it ends.

However, when testing on the Thunkable Live app (especially on Android), after the video finishes or is paused, pressing the Play button again has no effect — it doesn’t restart the video. It appears to be unresponsive.

I’ve reviewed the documentation but couldn’t find a Seek To block for the Video component to manually reset the playback position. I also tried resetting the video’s source, which helps in some cases, but the behavior is inconsistent on mobile.

Please let me know if these are known issues, and if there are any recommended workarounds or upcoming fixes. I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you so much for your time and support!

:white_check_mark: 1. Audio Playlist Issue (updated and clearer):
I created an audio playlist with 20 tracks (from 1 to 20). When tapping the “Next” button to go forward through the playlist (e.g., from 1 → 2 → … → 20), each audio file plays correctly using the Audio component.

After reaching item 20, I programmed the logic so that tapping “Next” again would loop the playlist back to the beginning (item 1). Visually, everything updates correctly — the track number and corresponding image display as expected — but the audio does not play after looping back.

At one point, this issue disappeared on its own, and the audio started playing again when looping. However, it has now returned, and I’m facing the same playback failure when trying to go from item 20 back to item 1 (or earlier items).

Hello @info.couponvietonlin, Welcome to Thunkable! :tada:

Are you stopping the previous sound before you play the next one?
A screenshot of your blocks will help.
