Repeat JS Textillate function each time modal is opened

I am using uikit modal on a project. I am also using JS Textillate to animate the text when the modal is opened. However, I want the text to be animated if the modal is closed and opened again continuously. For now, it only animate once when the modal is opened for the first time, when closed and opened again, the animation does not run again.
This is the JavaScript code below:
$(".uk-modal-full").on('show', function(){
var $title = $(".txt").textillate({
// in animation settings.
in: {
effect: "fadeIn", // set the effect name
},
// out animation settings.
out: {
effect: "fadeOut",
delayScale: 0,
delay: 0,
},
type: "char",
autoStart: true,
});
var $title = $(".txt2").textillate({
// in animation settings.
in: {
effect: "fadeIn", // set the effect name
},
// out animation settings.
out: {
effect: "fadeOut",
delayScale: 0,
delay: 0,
},
type: "char",
autoStart: true,
});
});
I am thinking maybe the function can be removed when modal closes so that it can be repeated when it is opened again. I am not sure if that is possible as I am only a Jquery learner.
$(".uk-modal-full").on('hide', function(){
// code here?
});
Full options for Textillate is here https://github.com/jschr/textillate
UPDATE
Thank you! I have created a codepen here to test my full code inside a modal using your example. It seems to be working but with some issues. When I use $element.textillate('in') and $element.textillate('out'), the other options do not work (e.g. initialDelay). It seems to only control the "in" and "out" options. When I used $element.textillate('start') and $element.textillate('stop'), the other options worked but when modal is reopened, the text are briefly loaded first before animating.
Please see codepen here - https://codepen.io/ajaxthemestudios/pen/XWJRBbW

Looking through the readme of Textillate, I think this section is what you need:
$element.textillate('start') - Manually start/restart textillate
$element.textillate('stop') - Manually pause/stop textillate
$element.textillate('in') - Trigger the current text's in animation
$element.textillate('out') - Trigger the current text's out animation
So I would do something like first define the animations (outside the event functions)
var title1 = $(".txt").textillate({
// in animation settings.
in: {
effect: "fadeIn", // set the effect name
},
// out animation settings.
out: {
effect: "fadeOut",
delayScale: 0,
delay: 0,
},
type: "char",
autoStart: false,
});
var title2 = $(".txt").textillate({
// in animation settings.
in: {
effect: "fadeIn", // set the effect name
},
// out animation settings.
out: {
effect: "fadeOut",
delayScale: 0,
delay: 0,
},
type: "char",
autoStart: false,
});
And then in the event function:
$(".uk-modal-full").on('show', function(){
title1.textillate('in');
title2.textillate('in');
}
EDIT
I got it to work in this codepen: https://codepen.io/thomas-short/pen/zYxdzWY
Test it by clicking on click repeatedly.
EDIT 2
The problem of the text being briefly visible seems to be a limitation of the library. I could not find a way to solve it using the tools they provide. The only way I managed to make it work is by control it myself:
$(".uk-modal-full").on('show', function(){
title1.textillate('start');
$(".txt2").hide();
setTimeout(() => {
$(".txt2").show();
title2.textillate('start');
}, 1500);
})
And remove initialDelay from the options

How do I deal with cloned slides to create a seamless html5 video slider in SlickJS?

I'm using slickJS to create a slider with HTML5 video backgrounds for each slide. Here's my SlickJS init code:
$homeSlider.slick({
adaptiveHeight: true,
arrows: false,
autoplay: true,
autoplaySpeed: 4000,
dots: true,
fade: false,
initialSlide: startSlide,
lazyLoad : 'progressive',
onBeforeChange: beforeSlickChange
});
Everything's working fine except that when I reach the end of the list of slides and try to go to the next slide (this loops back to the first slide), Slick shows a cloned slide for a moment and then the real first slide. Because of this, I'm unable to get a seamless transition between the last and first slide going in either direction. When I click forward to the first slide from the last slide or to the last slide from the first slide, the dummy slide appears (with no video playing) and after about 500ms or so, the real slide takes its place with the video playing.
What I'd like to happen is for the video to be playing seamlessly when transitioning two slides. I tried playing the video on the cloned slide and then playing the real slide's video from a slightly later point so that when the cloned slide disappeared, the real slide's video would be at the same point and there would be no noticeable change. However, the amount of time it takes for the cloned slide to disappear seems inconsistent.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Changing the slider to fade instead of slide fixes this problem, but I'd like to keep the sliding behavior. Thank you!

I managed to solve this problem. What I did was to play the video on the cloned slide and the real slide and then set the currentTime property of the real slide to that of the cloned slide on the afterChange event. The code looks like this:
Init code:
$homeSlider.slick({
adaptiveHeight: true,
arrows: false,
autoplay: true,
autoplaySpeed: 4000,
dots: true,
fade: false,
initialSlide: startSlide,
lazyLoad : 'progressive',
onBeforeChange: beforeSlickChange,
onAfterChange: afterSlickChange
});
onBeforeChange handler:
function beforeSlickChange(slick, currentSlide, nextSlide) {
if(hasVideoBG(currentSlide) === true && isMobile(mobileQuery) === false) {
getSlideVideoByIndex(currentSlide).currentTime = 0;
getSlideVideoByIndex(nextSlide).currentTime = 0;
}
if(hasVideoBG(nextSlide) === true && isMobile(mobileQuery)=== false) {
if(nextSlide === 0) {
$homeSlider.find(".slick-cloned:eq(1) video").get(0).currentTime = 0;
$homeSlider.find(".slick-cloned:eq(1) video").get(0).play();
}
if(nextSlide === (getSliderCount() - 1)) {
$homeSlider.find(".slick-cloned:eq(0) video").get(0).currentTime = 0;
$homeSlider.find(".slick-cloned:eq(0) video").get(0).play();
}
getSlideVideoByIndex(nextSlide).play();
}
}
onAfterChange handler:
function afterSlickChange(slick, currentSlide) {
if(currentSlide === 0) {
var $slideVideo = $homeSlider.find(".slick-cloned:eq(1) video").get(0);
getSlideByIndex(currentSlide).find("video").get(0).currentTime = $slideVideo.currentTime
} else if(currentSlide === (getSliderCount - 1)) {
var $slideVideo = $homeSlider.find(".slick-cloned:eq(0) video").get(0);
getSlideByIndex(currentSlide).find("video").get(0).currentTime = $slideVideo.currentTime
}
}
Basically I am resetting the currentTime of both the real and cloned slide videos to 0 and playing them before the slide changes. After the slide changes, I'm setting the currentTime property of the real slide to that of the cloned slide. This makes it so that when the cloned slide disappears, the real slide is playing the same video at the same time and the transition is seamless.

bxSlider - Play/Pause all sliders on page

I have two sliders on a page. Called with the same set of times and settings. One slider is a image slider, the other a sort of caption for it. Both in drastically different areas of the html.
bxslider is creating a play/pause for each slideshow, but I want some way of having one button that pauses all slideshows on the current page. This is because the slideshows are relative to each other and must keep a:
Slider A - Slide 1 / Slider B - Slide 1
Slider A - Slide 2 / Slider B - Slide 2
Slider A - Slide 3 / Slider B - Slide 3
etc.
Right now, when I pause one slideshow, the other continues and when the play is pressed, they are no longer in sync.
.bxslider & .bxslider-content are both my bxslider classes.
Thanks!
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.bxslider, .bxslider-content').bxSlider({
mode: 'fade',
auto: true,
ease: 'cubic-bezier(0.42,0,0.58,1)',
pager: false,
controls: false,
autoControlsCombine: true,
autoControls: true,
pause: 8000,
speed: 800
});
});
</script>

Try
var slider=$('.bxslider').bxSlider({
//code here
});
var slider1=$('.bxslider-content').bxSlider({
//code here
});
$(document).on('click','.pause',function(){
slider.stopAuto();
slider1.stopAuto();
});
$(document).on('click','.play',function(){
slider.startAuto();
slider1.startAuto();
});

Add current slide body class on slide change

I'm using slidesjs to create a slideshow on my site, this is working fine but I want to add a incremented class to the body tag e.g. slide-1 at load and then when the slide changes slide-2 etc until the slide fully rotates and it goes back to slide-1
My current code is;
<script>
$(function(){
$('#feature-slideshow').slides({
preload: true,
preloadImage: '<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/loading.gif',
generateNextPrev: false,
effect: 'fade',
play: 5000,
hoverPause: true,
animationStart: function() {
$("body").addClass("slide");
}
});
});
</script>
I have two problems;
1) the I want the initial class set before the slideshow has loaded so that the style which is a background is applied when the page is loaded rather than the slideshow
2) How to increment the slide-x class when the slideshow is transitioned/changed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Just add the initial class to body directly (<body class="slide-1">). No need to let JavaScript do this since it will always start at slide 1.
To increment that number you can set the currentClass option so that we can get the index of the current slide with .index().
$(function(){
var slideshow = $("#feature-slideshow");
slideshow.slides({
preload: true,
preloadImage: '<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/loading.gif',
generateNextPrev: false,
effect: 'fade',
play: 5000,
hoverPause: true,
currentClass: "current"
animationStart: function() {
var idx = slideshow.children(".current").index();
document.body.className = "slide-"+(idx+1);
}
});
});

Ok managed to get this to work, thanks to Marcus for his help, I just tweaked your code to pickup the correct list 'pagination' which had the current class applied;
$(function(){
var slideshow = $("#feature-slideshow");
slideshow.slides({
preload: true,
preloadImage: '<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/loading.gif',
generateNextPrev: false,
effect: 'fade',
play: 5000,
hoverPause: false,
currentClass: "current",
animationStart: function() {
var idx = $('ul.pagination').children(".current").index();
document.body.className = "slidebg-"+(idx+1);
}
});
});
I had to apply slidebg-3 to the body tag as for some reason when the slideshow cycles it includes the first list
Works great though apart from removing all other body classes, I suppose I could add it as an ID as I'm not using one of those
Anyway hope this helps someone else!

How can I alter anythingSlider so that it disables the next / previous buttons when only 1 <li> in the <ul>?

I have a page with multiple instances of anythingSlider on it and I'm using PHP to dynamically load pages that swap out the content in them.
Reference: http://ceedcreative.com/CEED_2.0/
I would like to edit the anythingSlider to disable the previous / next buttons if the UL it's displaying only has one LI within it.
In other words, no buttons, just a clean div that's the same heigh and width (no scrolling) if there's only one image.

Try this
$('.anythingSlider:not("#topSlider")').each(function(i, slider) {
// If any slider has less than 2 let members
if ( $("ul li", slider).length < 2 ) {
// don't apply the slider functionality
return;
}
$(slider).anythingSlider({
easing: "easeInOutExpo",
autoPlay: false,
delay: 3000,
startStopped: false,
animationTime: 600,
hashTags: false,
buildNextPrevButtons: true,
buildNavigation: false
});
});
If, for some reason, that doesn't work, this snippet will inspect the list length of every anythingSlider and hide the arrow buttons for any list that is only 1 in length (after excluding the front and back clones).
$(".anythingSlider").each(function(i, slider) {
if ( $("ul li", slider).not(".cloned").length == 1 ) {
$(".arrow", slider).hide();
}
});
