Sometimes the lecture video that loads on a webpage is not the correct one; it is playing the video corresponding to the previous lecture. This is an intermittent problem. See screenshot.
Hello @picnic,
Thanks for sharing this. I found the same. All but a few links open the correct video.
@Mubsi, can you take a look?
Cheers,
Raymond
Hello @Mubsi, I think I have found a pattern. If a (problematic) link/button does not open the correct video, it opens the video of the last clicked link.
It’s easier to reproduce in C1 W2 (yes, it’s not just C2 W3). First, among the video A, B, C below, A is the problematic link.
Click B → show video B
→ Click A → show video B ![]()
Click B → show video B
→ Click C → show video C
→ Click A → show video C ![]()
In the case above, A is the “problematic link”. We need to find out and fix all “problematic links”.
Cheers,
Raymond
Hello @picnic,
Again, thanks for reporting this. I don’t know the cause of this, but I think I have a workaround. If it does not open the correct video, I refresh the webpage, and then it will show the correct video. Also, I checked the course items menu for this Course 2 Week 3 and their ordering is correct, so you can rely on it.
Cheers,
Raymond
Thank you! Refreshing the page works.
Thank you all for reporting such in depth details.
We have never seen this before, so it is likely that this a glitch on the platform. I’ll let Coursera know.
