Controlling the html5 video player outline using JavaScript

Question

I want to enable html5 video loop in browsers that do not support loop tag (ff) using JavaScript. Does anyone know about the possibility of accessing the end of video playback and returning to zero?

Answer 1

You can determine if a property is supported loopand set it to true.

For browsers that don't support it, you can simply bind a media event endedand fire it:

var myVideo = document.getElementById('videoId');
if (typeof myVideo.loop == 'boolean') { // loop supported
  myVideo.loop = true;
} else { // loop property not supported
  myVideo.addEventListener('ended', function () {
    this.currentTime = 0;
    this.play();
  }, false);
}
//...
myVideo.play();

Answer 2

loop="false" .

<iframe style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0;"
src="http://video/name.mp4" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0"  webkitallowfullscreen loop="true" controls="false" mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

loop="true" .

Answer 3

<div>Iteration: <span id="iteration"></span></div>

<video id="video-background" autoplay="" muted="" controls>
        <source src="https://res.sdfdsf.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

var iterations = 1;

    document.getElementById('iteration').innerText = iterations;

        var myVideo = document.getElementById('video-background');
    myVideo.addEventListener('ended', function () {    
                alert('end');
        if (iterations < 2) {
            this.currentTime = 0;
            this.play();
            iterations ++;          
            document.getElementById('iteration').innerText = iterations;
        }   

    }, false);


   // Please note that loop attribute should not be there in video element in order for the 'ended' event to work in ie and firefox
