Infinite autoplay stops after some time

See original GitHub issue

I’m using infinite autoplay of about 7 slides, one slide per view, 5 seconds delay. Each slide is just a jpg image. When page is loaded autoplay starts automatically. I leave the page open in my browser tab. But then after few minutes (or hours) I get back to the page to discover that autoplay has stopped. Would there be any hints on how to debug this problem, where could it be coming from?

Tried in different browsers (Firefox, Chrome). I’m using slick 1.3.15 with next settings:

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/slick.css"/>
[...]
</head>
<body>
<div class="show-class">
<div><img ...></div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/slick.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
            var delay = 5000;
            $('.show-class').slick({
                    infinite: true,
                    slidesToShow: 1,
                    slidesToScroll: 1,
                    autoplay: true,
                    autoplaySpeed: delay,
                    speed: 1000
            });
    });
</script>
</body>
[...]

I think the problem was the pauseOnHover setting which by default is enabled. I have disabled it and so far so good. Will see if that completely solves the problem.

Yep, seems it was because pauseOnHover was enabled. We disabled it and it works perfectly now. Thing is we are running browser in full-screen mode without mouse in production, so we definitely do not need no pause.

Closing the issue, thanks!
