I want to be able to reload the video into the HTML5 video without having to reset the currentTime when it is loaded. The way I am currently doing it is the following:
<button onclick="getCurTime()" type="button">Get current time position</button>
<button onclick="setCurTime()" type="button">Set time position to 5 seconds</button><br>
<div style="width:800px; height:445px;">
<video id="myVideo" width="100%" height="100%" controls="controls">
<source src="http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/BigBuckBunny_320x180.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
<script>
var vid = document.getElementById("myVideo");
function setCurTime() {
vid.currentTime=100;
}
$(document).ready(function ()
{
$('#myVideo').videocontrols(
{
preview:
{
sprites: ['big_bunny_108p_preview.jpg'],
step: 10,
width: 200
},
theme:
{
progressbar: 'blue',
range: 'pink',
volume: 'pink'
}
});
vid.play();
});
setInterval(function(){
if(vid.currentTime > vid.duration-1)
{
myVideo.src = "http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/BigBuckBunny_320x180.mp4";
myVideo.load();
myVideo.play();
vid.currentTime = vid.duration-60*5
}
}, 1);
</script>
</div>
How would I go about doing this? Is there even a way to just update the data in the video player without having to reload the video? I want to be able to do this so if someone makes a modification to the video, it will just update the data in the video player so the user doesn't have to reload the whole video again.
per discussion in comment thread above, I'm still not 100% sure why you're reloading the same video so I may be missing some context, but the following code will let you change the video source but preserve the current time. It does assume jQuery for the event handler (though you can easily use the regular javascript event handler on the same event to do the same thing)
<video id="v" width="320" height="240" controls="controls" mute>
<source src="Video.mp4" />
</video>
<button onclick="reload()">Reload</button>
<script>
function reload() {
vid=document.getElementById("v")
// record the current time for the video that is playing
curTime = vid.currentTime
// set the source for the replacement video...
vid.src = "http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/BigBuckBunny_320x180.mp4";
// ... and load it
vid.load();
// add event handler for "canplay" to set the time, and then start the video
$("#v").on("canplay",function() {
vid.currentTime = curTime
vid.play();
// remove the event to stop it triggering multiple times
$("#v").off("canplay")
})
}
</script>

I m trying to make my video play only the first 30 secs of the video and return to the starting time going as loop irrespective of video length.
Here's my code so far.
HTML
<video width="100%" height="192px" id="player" controls loop >
<source src="images/videos/<?= $v_video; ?>" type="video/mp4">
<source src="images/videos/<?= $v_video; ?>" type="video/ogg">
</video>
JS
<script>
var playTimeout;
$("#player").on("play", function(e) {
playTimeout = setTimeout(function() {
$("player").pause();
$("player").setCurrentTime(0); // Restarts video
}, 30000); // 30 seconds in ms
});
$("#player").on("pause", function(e) {
clearTimeout(playTimeout);
});
</script>
However, it stills keeps on playing after 30sec.
Any help is appreciated.
$("player").pause();
$("player").setCurrentTime(0); // Restarts video
needs to be
$("#player").get(0).pause();
$("#player").get(0).currentTime = 0; // Restarts video
Also, I would use the timeupdate event so that the video doesn't reset while it is still loading (in your example, with a slow connection, if they spend 10 seconds buffering before playback, it would reset after only 20 seconds of playing).
See example (set to 3 seconds instead of 30 for easier demo):
var playTimeout;
$("#player").on("timeupdate", function(e) {
playTimeout = setTimeout(function() {
$("#player").get(0).pause();
$("#player").get(0).currentTime = 0; // Restarts video
}, 3000); // 3 seconds in ms
});
$("#player").on("pause", function(e) {
clearTimeout(playTimeout);
});

I'm trying to make a random video player in html/js.
It is supposed to play a different video on pageload and as soon as one video is over, it should play another one.
HTML
<video width="320" height="240" autoplay>
<source src="abcdefg.com/example1.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="abcdefg.com/example2.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
JS
<script>
var videos = [
[{type:'mp4', 'src':'abcdefg.com/example1.mp4'}],
[{type:'mp4', 'src':'abcdefg.com/example2.mp4'}],
];
$(function() {
var number = Math.floor(Math.random()*videos.length);
$(this).find('source').each(function(index){
videoSrc = videos[number][index].src;
$(this).attr('src', videoSrc);
$('video').load();
$('video').play();
});
});
</script>
However, my current code plays the same video every page reload and as soon as it's over, nothing happens.
How do I need to optimize my code so it automatically plays a different video on every pageload + when the previous video is over?
Try this,I have added an event listener to video end property and called the newvideo() function ,so that every time the video finishes a new random video is loaded from array.I could'nt find more video urls ,you can test and let me know if it works for you.
$(document).ready(function(){
var videos = [
[{type:'mp4', 'src':'http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4'}],
[{type:'mp4', 'src':'http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4'}],
[{type:'mp4', 'src':'http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4'}]
];
// selecting random item from array,you can make your own
var randomitem = videos[Math.floor(Math.random()*videos.length)];
// This function adds a new video source (dynamic) in the video html tag
function videoadd(element, src, type) {
var source = document.createElement('source');
source.src = src;
source.type = type;
element.appendChild(source);
}
// this function fires the video for particular video tag
function newvideo(src)
{
var vid = document.getElementById("myVideo");
videoadd(vid,src ,'video/ogg');
vid.autoplay = true;
vid.load();
//vid.play();
}
// function call
newvideo(randomitem[0].src)
// Added an event listener so that everytime the video finishes ,a new video is loaded from array
document.getElementById('myVideo').addEventListener('ended',handler,false);
function handler(e)
{
newvideo(randomitem[0].src)
}
})
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<video width="320" height="240" autoplay id="myVideo">
</video>
I have a problem to get out the duration of an mp4 video file when the html document is ready. My code:
(function ($, root, undefined) {
$(function () {
'use strict';
$(document).ready(function() {
var duration = $("section:first-child() video").get(0).duration;
alert(duration);
});
});
});
The script works in firefox but in chrome it returns an NaN. Im not a javascript professional and i use wordpress HTML5 Blank theme.
Thanks for your help and best regards.
You need to preload the video metadata for you to be able to access them. Then, within the loadedmetadata event, you may access the duration as below.
$(function() {
var $video = $('#video_container').find('video');
$video.on("loadedmetadata", function() {
$('#duration').text($video[0].duration);
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="video_container">
<video poster="http://media.w3.org/2010/05/sintel/poster.png" preload="metadata" controls="" width="400">
<source type="video/mp4" src="http://media.w3.org/2010/05/sintel/trailer.mp4" id="mp4"></source>
<source type="video/webm" src="http://media.w3.org/2010/05/sintel/trailer.webm" id="webm"></source>
<source type="video/ogg" src="http://media.w3.org/2010/05/sintel/trailer.ogv" id="ogv"></source>
<p>Your user agent does not support the HTML5 Video element.</p>
</video>
</div>
<div>Total duration : <span id="duration"></span></div>
you need a listener to get the duration of a video
var videoTime = 0;
var currentvideo = document.getElementById('video');
currentvideo.addEventListener('play', function() {
videoTime= currentvideo.duration;
console.info(videoTime) // get the duration
});
I would like for an HTML5 video of mine to loop back to the first frame and pause after playback.
I found this page here and am using the code near the bottom of the page by "Offbeatmammal" which is:
<div id="vOverlay" style="position:relative; width:600px; height:300px; z-index:2;"></div>
<video style="position:relative; top:-300px; z-index:1;width:600px;height:340px;" width="600" height="409" id=videoPlayer controls="controls">
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
<script>
var v = document.getElementById('videoPlayer');
var vv = document.getElementById('vOverlay');
<!-- Play, Pause -->
vv.addEventListener('click',function(e){
if (!v.paused) {
console.log("pause playback");
v.pause();
v.firstChild.nodeValue = 'Pause';
} else {
console.log("start playback")
v.play();
v.firstChild.nodeValue = 'Play';
}
});
</script>
I have found a few threads that seem to indicate i need to use this.currentTime = 0; but I have no clue where to add this to the code above. I tried several different places and it just isn't working. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!
When the video is finished. WHEN is key here. You need to search for the "playback finish" event.
seach google for "html5 video events" and you'll find this:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_av_dom.asp
then the code you need to write is:
v.addEventListener("ended", function(){
this.currentTime = 0;
});
I saw some examples of defaultPlaybackRate and they say it work on Chrome. So I use their example codes and run on Chrome, it doesn't change the speed to 3.0x when I click the button. Anyone can tell me why?
Here my javascript code,
$(document).ready(function(){
var video = document.getElementById('video');
$("#speed").click(function() { // button function for 3x fast speed
video.defaultPlaybackRate=3.0;
});
});
The HTML codes,
<button id="speed" type="button">3.0x</button>
and
<video id="video" width="930" height="500" controls>
<source src="caption.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="caption.ogg" type="video/ogg" >
<source src="caption.webm" type="video/webm" >
</video>
Because once you change the defaultPlaybackRate you have to load the video again using video.load(); (or set it before the video has loaded). If you want to change the rate while the video plays, use playbackRate instead.
var video = document.getElementById('video');
$("#speed").click(function () { // button function for 3x fast speed
video.defaultPlaybackRate = 3.0;
video.load();
});
or
var video = document.getElementById('video');
$("#speed").click(function () { // button function for 3x fast speed
video.playbackRate = 3.0;
});
