I've built simple HTML5 video player. I'm having trouble with the "play" event not being fired in IE9. Have a look at the Fiddle.
The player has a big play button visible before playback, hidden while playing, visible when video completes.
Below are the three listeners I'm using.
btn.addEventListener("click", function() {
vid.play();
});
vid.addEventListener("play", function() {
btn.style.display = "none";
alert("'play' event fired");
});
vid.addEventListener("ended", function() {
btn.style.display = "block";
});
In IE9 the "play" event isn't being fired for the second and subsequent times the video is played through.
I'm guessing it's either something I don't understand about the "play" HTML5 video event, or some kind of bug in IE9.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
An assumption:: I think paused event remains false even when your video ends, so may be try explicitly setting pause once your video ends, as:
btn.addEventListener("click", function() {
vid.play();
});
vid.addEventListener("play", function() {
btn.style.display = "none";
alert("'play' event fired");
});
vid.addEventListener("ended", function() {
if( !this.paused ) this.pause();
btn.style.display = "block";
});

I can't wrap my head around this code from w3schools for a javascript play/pause event.
let video = document.getElementById("myVideo");
let btn = document.getElementById("myBtn");
function myFunc() {
if (video.paused) {
video.play();
btn.innerHTML = "Pause";
} else {
video.pause();
btn.innerHTML = "Play";
}
}
if the video paused is true then the video should play and the btn should display Pause. But shouldn't it be the other way round? If the video is paused then video.pause() should be there?
Remember, the action is performed when you click the button, so imagine if the video is playing and the function is executed, then the following snippet runs:
video.pause(); // the played video is now paused
btn.innerHTML = "Play"; // the button now shows 'Play' from what it was before 'Pause'
When the function is executed again (when it is paused) the code checks if it is paused and if it is then it means it needs to play hence the following snippet:
if (video.paused) { // Was the video paused? If yes...
video.play(); // We now play the video as it was paused
btn.innerHTML = "Pause"; // We changed the button text from 'Play' to 'Pause'
}
The comments in the above snippets should clarify further.
Ok so when someone scrolls to the video it starts and when someone scrolls away from the video it stops using load restarting the video and showing the poster.
The problem I have is that I don't want this function to run when someone clicks to pause the video. It would be pretty annoying for the scroll handler to take control.
jQuery(window).load(function(){
jQuery(window).scroll(function(){
playvideo();
});
});
var playvideo = function(){
var scrollTop = jQuery(window).scrollTop()+jQuery(window).height();
var elem='.video';
var video = document.getElementById('video-background');
var elheight = jQuery(elem).height();
if(scrollTop >= jQuery(elem).offset().top+elheight){
//fade out the video play button and start the video
$j('.video-caption-wrapper').fadeOut("Fast",function() {video.play();});
}else{
// fade in the play button and reload the video
$j('.video-caption-wrapper').fadeIn("Fast",function() {video.load()});
}
}
$j('#video-background').click(function(event) {
//when the video is clicked pause it and unbind scrolling
if (this.paused == false) {
this.pause();
$j(window).off("scroll",playvideo);
} else {
this.play();
}
});
This:
jQuery(window).load(function(){
jQuery(window).scroll(function(){
playvideo();
});
});
Should be:
jQuery(window).load(function(){
jQuery(window).scroll(playvideo);
});
That will allow you to refer to the playvideo function when removing the scroll listener. Right now you try to remove playvideo as a listener when you have never added it. You added an anonymous function which calls playvideo.
I've written a small jquery code to override HTML 5 play function. However, I am not able to check if a video is playing or not.
Here is my jquery code
$("video").click(function() {
var video = $("#myvideo").get(0);
video.play();
$(".play").css("display", "none");
return false;
});
$("#myvideo").bind("pause ended", function() {
$(".play").css("display", "block");
});
Just give me simple tips to show a div with class="pause"(I have CSS for it) when the video is paused and pause the video as well.
You'd use the paused property to check if the video is paused.
If it's not paused, it's playing
$("video").click(function() {
var video = $("#myvideo").get(0);
if ( video.paused ) {
video.play();
$(".play").hide();
$(".pause").show();
} else {
video.pause();
$(".play").show();
$(".pause").hide();
}
return false;
});
As Jquery is the framework of Javascript
you can use the following code (involves Video JS Frame work):
var my_video_id = videojs('video_id');
if (my_video_id.player_.paused()) {
my_video_id.player_.play();
} else {
my_video_id.player_.pause();
}
I'm trying to make a function that when you click a play button, the video is showed center in page with lightbox effect. The problem is that i've set it to start playing, when you click the "open in lightbox play button" but the HTML5 video control show the play/pause button as "play" and not "pause". Is it possible to registrer if the video is playing it should add "pause" style from start etc.

I've tried something like this.
// light box effect with auto play
// show the popup outer
$("#play-index-video").click(function() {
$(".video-popup-outer").show();
$('.toggle-play-pause').addClass('pause');
$("#showreel-video")[0].play();
});
// hide the popup outer
$(".close-video").click(function() {
$(".video-popup-outer").hide();
$("#showreel-video").load();
});
// toggle play / pause
$('#play-pause').click(function() {
$('.toggle-play-pause').toggleClass('play','pause'); //Adds 'a', removes 'b' and vice versa
});
// video functionality
window.onload = function() {
// Video
var video = document.getElementById("showreel-video");
// Buttons
var playButton = document.getElementById("play-pause");
// Event listener for the play/pause button
playButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
if (video.paused == true) {
// Play the video
video.play();
} else {
// Pause the video
video.pause();
}
});
}
I've changed something in your code, since you already use jquery, I converted it all to jquery.
$(document).ready(function () {
// light box effect with auto play
// show the popup outer
$("#play-index-video").click(function () {
$(".video-popup-outer").show();
$('.toggle-play-pause').addClass('pause');
$("#showreel-video")[0].play();
});
// hide the popup outer
$(".close-video").click(function () {
$(".video-popup-outer").hide();
$("#showreel-video").load();
});
// Event listener for the play/pause button
$("#play-pause").click(function () {
$('.toggle-play-pause').toggleClass('play', 'pause'); //Adds 'a', removes 'b' and vice versa
var video = $("#showreel-video")[0];
if (video.paused) {
video.play();
} else {
video.pause();
}
});
});

Seems to work somehow.
I have a content slider, set to play / stop on each click.
The problem: I want it to pause on second click. Right now it won't pause. Any ideas?
See site here: http://dev.alsoknownas.ca/music/ (audio branding section on homepage).
Here's the code:
**Edited to reflect the code suggested by Lloyd below:
<audio id="player"></audio>
Here's the script:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("span.1").attr("data-src","song.mp3");
$("span.2").attr("data-src","song2.mp3");
$("span.3").attr("data-src","song3.mp3");
$("span.4").attr("data-src","song4.mp3");
$("span.5").attr("data-src","song5.mp3");
});
$("span.1,span.2,span.3,span.4,span.5").click(function () {
var player = document.getElementById("player");
player.src = this.getAttribute("data-src");
player.play();
});
for this markup:
<audio id="player"></audio>
<span class="1">one</span>
<span class="2">two</span>
use this script:
$("span.1")
.attr("data-src-mp3","song1.mp3")
.attr("data-src-ogg","song1.ogg");
$("span.2")
.attr("data-src-mp3","song2.mp3")
.attr("data-src-ogg","song2.ogg");
$("span[data-src-mp3]").click(function () {
var player = document.getElementById("player"),
$this = $(this);
if ($this.hasClass("selected")) {
if (player.paused) {
player.play();
} else {
player.pause();
}
}
else {
$("span[data-src-mp3].selected").removeClass("selected");
$this.addClass("selected");
$(player)
.empty()
.append($("<source>").attr("src", $this.attr("data-src-mp3")))
.append($("<source>").attr("src", $this.attr("data-src-ogg")))
player.play();
}
});

Try this,
Instead of doing
$('audio').bind('play','pause', function() {
Do
$('audio').bind('play pause', function(event) {
According to your code, by default audio is paused, when user clicks, it starts playing, and on next click it pauses.
Hope this works for you.
