video control that works

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 21.2012

Hi,

Please can someone point me in the direction of a method of starting and stopping my embedded ( not youtube ) video from jquery or javascript.

I tried the <embed> and <video> tags and I’ve tried various methods to control the playback after googling but none of them work.

Thanks. ( I used chrome but I’ll use whatever works for this thing. )

@xelawhoJul 22.2012 — can you show the code that you use to actually play the video? that kind of dictates how it can be stopped, paused, etc

but generally speaking, give your video object an id then apply an onclick to a button or whatever to stop() and play() the video

can't give you much more without more detail, sorry...

$("#videoDiv").append('<video id="videoClip" width="320" height="240" controls="controls"><source src="billy.mp4" type="video/mp4" /><source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg" />Your browser does not support the video tag.</video>');

// click event for makeSRTDivBut button

$('#makeSRTDivBut').click(function() {

// try some video control stuff
$('#videoClip').stop();

});

});

Success!
