Jw Player, give video link to Anchor - javascript

The code to add a download button to the player can be found in the following post:
JWPlayer 5 - How to add download link at the player
However, I want to add an anchor below the player, which will hold the link to the video. I tried several things but I can't figure it out.
For example, i have tried the following:
<a href="window.location.href = player.getPlaylistItem()['file']"
class="button">Download</a>
I have even tried to make it work with a button:
<button onclick="function()">Download</button>
But it still does not work.
I have added all my tested codes here: https://jsfiddle.net/au50sk8c/
I hope someone can help me.
Thank you.

Since you already have the link to the video adapt your script as follows:
let videoUrl = "the link to your video";
document.querySelector('#idOfLink').href = videoUrl;
//also adapt this line
playlist: [{"sources":[{"type": "video/mp4", "label": "HD", "file": videoUrl}]

Youtube video autoplay with jquery

I wanted to make a website with Youtube video iframes, which starts to play on hover.
I've found this post Play youtube video on hover
This code works(video start to play on hover) but not all videos work (links seem to be broken).
The same thing happens when I use other videos so that's not broken links. I've found a post suggesting changing 'iframe' into 'embed' and this fixed broken links but then script stops working.
My script looks like below:
https://codepen.io/EwelinaWoloszyn/pen/dybQGWe
<script>$(document).ready(function(){
var nowPlaying = "none";
$('div').hover(function(){
nowPlaying = $(this).find('embed').attr('src');
$(this).find('embed').attr('src',nowPlaying+'&autoplay=1');
}, function(){
$(this).find('embed').attr('src',nowPlaying);
});
});
What should I change to make it work?
Many thanks in advance,
Neko
God forbid me for using W3Schools, but video elements in HTML5 have play() function in JavaScript
Documentation: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/av_met_play.asp
Your code:
$('div').hover(() => {
$(this).find('embed').play();
});

Mute/unmute Vimeo video when Web page get loads using JQuery

I integrated Vimeo Video in my site and I used 'background= 1' parameter in query string to remove all the default functionalities but it cause a problem that my Video get muted when it loads and I want to unmute the video on page load.
I am beginner so please Give me some good and simple solution keeping in mind that background = 1 should stay there.
Here is what I tried so far:
<script>
var dynamicContent = getParameterByName('background');
$(document).ready(function() {
if (dynamicContent=='1') {
$('#vi-video-1-container').attr('data-audio-volume', 1);
$("#vi-banner-video").vimeo("setVolume", 1);
}
});
</script>

How to dynamically change html5 video source?

I'm using flowplayer to render live videos. On button click, I want to dynamically change the src (video url) to a different url. This needs to work well on most of the mobile devices (ios and Android). I have tried almost all the answers in this thread but nothing seems to work well on all devices - changing source on html5 video tag.
An answer by antonioj1015 works except that I don't see the default Play/Pause buttons on the player.
Here is my flowplayer container div looks like -
<div id="player" class="flowplayer">
<video id="video"><source id="video_src" src="//mydomain.com/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
</div>
Javascript code looks like this -
document.getElementById('player').innerHTML = '<video id="video"><source src="'+newurl+'" type="video/mp4"></video>';
document.getElementById('video').load();
document.getElementById('video').play();
I have tried to replace the entire video tag. Also, tried to dynamically change the src but nothing seems to work. Any push in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You can set flowplayer api to a global variable at the beginning
var myApi;
flowplayer(function (api, root) { myApi = api; });
Then on your button click, do:
$("#yourbutton").on("click", function () {
myApi.load({
sources: [{ type: "video/mp4",
src: newurl }]
});
});
You can use src property.
document.getElementById('video').src = 'https://example.com/othervideo.mp4';
document.getElementById('video').load();
document.getElementById('video').play();
Read more on https://www.w3schools.com/tags/av_prop_src.asp
let source = document.querySelector('video > source')
source.src = '[the-new-url]'
source.parentNode.load()

How to properly insert <video> tag into html with javascript?

I'm just getting started here with javascript and have made this.
I have made a codepen that shows the two issues I am having
1) there are two duplicate videos being loaded in, when I delete one of the video tags it prevents the randomize button from working or any video from loading up. I am only trying to have one video load in.
2) In the codepen I have a button that clicks to randomize but instead I am trying to have the video wrapped with an tag so that the video can be clicked to initiate the randomize. Whenever I try and do this I get an undefined error or the videos will not load in =/
Play video
<div class="video-label"></div> <!-- loads in top video (only want one video) -->
<video loop autoplay> <!-- loads in bottom video (only want one video) -->
Your browser does not support the <code>video</code> element.
</video>
If you click on the codepen you will hopefully be able to see where the two videos are being loaded in and where the click tag is. Any help is greatly appreciated!! I've been trying to figure it out all night :/
Here is the codepen

Thanks in advance!
You can create a html5 video tag using javascript by following this logic:
var videoelement = document.createElement("video");
videoelement.setAttribute("id", "video1");
var sourceMP4 = document.createElement("source");
sourceMP4.type = "video/mp4";
sourceMP4.src = "http://zippy.gfycat.com/SpottedDefensiveAbalone.mp4";
videoelement.appendChild(sourceMP4);
var sourceWEBM = document.createElement("source");
sourceWEBM.type = "video/webm";
sourceWEBM.src = "http://zippy.gfycat.com/MinorGregariousGrub.webm";
videoelement.appendChild(sourceWEBM);
$('.video-label').html(videoelement);
var video = document.getElementById("video1");
video.play();
This code is creating a video tag and including it into your div (.video-label), then the video starts automatically. This is working without the random stuff (the same url is used everytime), so you can update it at your convenience. Try to remove the video in you html file, it works now:
<video loop autoplay>
Your browser does not support the <code>video</code> element.
</video>
Here is a link where you can download your code updated with working solution (without randomization):
http://tests.krown.ch/Codepen.zip
Also when you click on your video div (.video-label), the video tag will be deleted and created back (but with same url, you just need to update video url with your randomize stuff)
In this line you find any video tags on the page and try to copy it's content into div:
var $video = $('video');
...
$('.video-label').html($video.get(0).outerHTML);
But if you delete video from the page there will be nothing to copy. You need to move video tag inside div in first place. Or create it dynamically, not by copying, when user clicks link.

click a button to load a different video player into div

i'm working on adding a video to the home page of a site i'm working on. ideally, i'd like to show the youtube version by default, and add a button underneath that says something like "don't have access to youtube? click here to watch an alternate version".
once clicked, a different player will load into the same video div and replace the youtube version.
we have the video uploaded to youtube, and also have an html5 version on the site that is played via the video.js plugin for wordpress.
how can i load the alternate html5 video player into the div via a button click (without refreshing the page if possible)? i'm assuming this can be done via javascript / jquery / ajax somehow, but I'm not sure how to do this (my js level is novice).
thanks!!
You can clear the div out with:
$("#yourDivID").empty()
Then populate the div with new content
var newHtml = "Whatever you want!"
$("#yourDivID").append(newHtml);
Or
$("#yourDivID").html(newHtml);
Here's a very primitive example of replacing content in a Div: http://jsfiddle.net/FJuwd/
Html
<div id="myvideodiv"> </div>
In script
mybutton.click(function(){
playerMethod("myvideodiv").setup({ //here player intializations based on sepecific type
file: "/uploads/example.mp4",
height: 360,
image: "/uploads/example.jpg",
width: 640
});
})
see example here.
jQuery solution: Just create div and populate with video on button click. Many ways to do this. The check for length is only there to eliminate putting another video up.
<div id="player"><div>
<button id="clickme">Click to play video</button>
$("#clickme").on("click", function(e) {
if($('#myfileplayer').length == 0) {
var mydiv = $("#player");
var myvideo = $("<video id='myfileplayer' src='http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.ogv' width='320' height='240' controls></video>");
mydiv.append(myvideo);
}
});
See example
thanks so much everyone for all of the help. love this place.
i was actually able to work this out more easily by just toggling divs that contain the two different videos. not sure why i didn't think of this initially. doesn't actually remove the content, just hides it, but i think it will work for me.
html
<div id="youtube">my youtube vid</div>
<div id="html5" style="display:none;">my alternate vid</div>
<input type="button" value="switch video" id="click"/>
jquery
$(function(){
$('#click').click(function(){
$('#youtube').toggle();
$('#html5').toggle();
});
});
i also tried this with the js, so the youtube video would be removed & stop playing when the divs are toggled
$(function(){
$('#click').click(function(){
$('#youtube').toggle();
$('#html5').toggle();
$('#youtube').empty();
});
});
this works, but i wasn't sure how to add the youtube video back when toggling back. not really a big deal - just something i was curious about. i'm assuming it can be done with .append.
problem with this is that both of the vids exist in the wordpress page as shortcodes, so it complicates things a bit. i just wrapped the shortdoces in divs with these ids in the wordpress page to get the toggle working, and added the js to my page template. thx again!
