Autoplay plugin has three options:
//default settings:
autoplay:false
autoplayTimeout:5000
autoplayHoverPause:false
In this example i've added two buttons with custom events for play and stop:
var owl = $('.owl-carousel');
owl.owlCarousel({
items:4,
loop:true,
margin:10,
autoplay:true,
autoplayTimeout:1000,
autoplayHoverPause:true
});
$('.play').on('click',function(){
owl.trigger('play.owl.autoplay',[1000])
})
$('.stop').on('click',function(){
owl.trigger('stop.owl.autoplay')
})
