Does Video.JS provide a JS API that I can use to trigger specific events?
For example, I want to hide the player's controls and have a separate button to go fullscreen or mute/unmute the player.
Yes. Check this doc for the available methods: http://docs.videojs.com/docs/api/player.html
Get the player:
var player = videojs('id_of_player');
Hide controls:
player.controls(false);
Fullscreen:
player.requestFullscreen();
Mute:
player.muted(true);

I am showing a div width Text over the poster image while the video is loading and when the video is paused.
How can I detect the moment the video is fully loaded and autoplay starts? Because then, the div should be hidden.
It you have defined autoplay then detect using the play event:
video.onplay = function() { /* remove overlay here */ };
alternatively use canplay or canplaythrough when you want to manually trigger play.
please i need your help folks!
I'm using Anythingslider to slide between HTML5 video and other content, but when I add autoplay attribute in video tag, Anythingslider plays just audio.
Are you sure the video is not hidden behind another element? Play with the z-index as the video should be visible. I've had a few issues with this in the past, such as the video flickering in and out of visibility on scroll.
I ended up playing the videos in a light box since anything slider would leave the video playing as the carousel continued to scroll. Also, if you use an infinite scroller there were also issues with it playing the video in two places.
Providing you are using something like JW Player you will be able to set up some actions to pause the video on slide or similar but basic youtube embeds will be an issue.
Don't add the autoplay attribute to HTML5 video. What is probably happening is that the cloned copy of the video (first and last slides only) is playing the video, but all you hear is the audio since the panel is not in view. The reason you don't want to autoplay is because it will still autoplay even if AnythingSlider starts with another slide visible, and it won't stop until you cycle through the panels.
If you want the video to autoplay when the panel is visible, you'll have to add some script into the completed callback (video extension is not required with the code below; demo):
var playvid = function(slider) {
var vid = slider.$currentPage.find('video');
if (vid.length) {
// autoplay
vid[0].play();
}
};
$('#slider').anythingSlider({
// Autoplay video in initial panel, if one exists
onInitialized: function(e, slider) {
playvid(slider);
},
// pause video when out of view
onSlideInit: function(e, slider) {
var vid = slider.$lastPage.find('video');
if (vid.length && typeof(vid[0].pause) !== 'undefined') {
vid[0].pause();
}
},
// play video
onSlideComplete: function(slider) {
playvid(slider);
},
// pause slideshow if video is playing
isVideoPlaying: function(slider) {
var vid = slider.$currentPage.find('video');
return (vid.length && typeof(vid[0].pause) !== 'undefined' && !vid[0].paused && !vid[0].ended);
}
});
Would like to know if it's possible (and how) using the YouTube iframe API to have an html button or link, external to the player, to toggle the sound on and off.
Thanks,
Mauro
see jQuery Youtube Plugin for complete specs and download.
It will be possible to declare a player like this:
jQuery("#youtube-player-container").tubeplayer({
width: 600, // the width of the player
height: 450, // the height of the player
allowFullScreen: "true", // true by default, allow user to go full screen
initialVideo: "DkoeNLuMbcI", // the video that is loaded into the player
preferredQuality: "default",// preferred quality: default, small, medium, large, hd720
onPlay: function(id){}, // after the play method is called
onPause: function(){}, // after the pause method is called
onStop: function(){}, // after the player is stopped
onSeek: function(time){}, // after the video has been seeked to a defined point
onMute: function(){}, // after the player is muted
onUnMute: function(){} // after the player is unmuted
});
Then just add a link with the desired function:
<a href="#" onClick='jQuery("#youtube-player-container").tubeplayer("mute")'>
Mute player
I am trying to make a flash banner in CS4 with AS3.
In this banner I have to embed youtube videos.
My problem is.. after the video loaded I cant have/see usual controls (fullscreen, pause, stop, etc) on the video.. and the video has the autoplay by default.
I am using this code:
Security.allowDomain("*");
Security.allowDomain("www.youtube.com");
Security.allowDomain("youtube.com");
Security.allowDomain("s.ytimg.com");
Security.allowDomain("i.ytimg.com");
var my_player1:Object;
var my_loader1:Loader = new Loader();
my_loader1.load(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?version=3"));
my_loader1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onLoaderInit);
function onLoaderInit(e:Event):void{
addChild(my_loader1);
my_player1 = my_loader1.content;
my_player1.addEventListener("onReady", onPlayerReady);
}
function onPlayerReady(e:Event):void{
my_player1.setSize(200,100);
/////////////////////////////////
//this example is with parameter//
//my_player1.loadVideoByUrl("http://www.youtube.com/v/ID-YOUTUBE?autohide=1&autoplay=0&fs=1&rel=0",0);
//////////////////////////////////
// this one is only the video id//
my_player1.loadVideoByUrl("http://www.youtube.com/v/ID-YOUTUBE",0);
}
I was trying to pass the parameter in the url to try but seems to be is not working.
I was checking too the google API for AS3 (http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/flash_api_reference.html) but honestly I dont find the way to implement that I need.
Whats is the way to see this controls in the video??
Thank you :)
I was trying different thing and I found a partial solution that i want to share with:
Security.allowDomain("www.youtube.com");
Security.allowDomain("youtube.com");
Security.allowDomain("s.ytimg.com");
Security.allowDomain("i.ytimg.com");
Security.allowDomain("s.youtube.com");
var my_player1:Object;
var my_loader1:Loader = new Loader();
//before I used that:
//my_loader1.load(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?version=3"));
//Now is use this:
my_loader1.load(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com/v/ID_VIDEO?version=3));
my_loader1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onLoaderInit);
function onLoaderInit(e:Event):void{
addChild(my_loader1);
my_player1 = my_loader1.content;
my_player1.addEventListener("onReady", onPlayerReady);
}
function onPlayerReady(e:Event):void{
my_player1.setSize(200,100);
my_player1.loadVideoByUrl("http://www.youtube.com/v/ID_VIDEO",0);
}
Basically Instead of use the "Loading the chromeless player" I use the "Loading the embedded player"
My problem now is How I can modify for example the size of the controls bar.. because is taking 35px height and I want to reduce it
Thank
I need to close a flash player which is overlayed over another portion. When the video is over, the 'div' i created (overlayed to display video)must vanish showing the orginal content. tried everything.
You can use a javascript function to remove the opened <div> from the DOM tree.
For this use the Externalinterface.call method. You just need to create a javascript function and embed the flash object with the allowscriptaccess option set to always.
The JavaScript function could be like this:
function removeDiv( divID ) {
var div = document.getElementById(divID);
div.parentNode.removeChild(div);
}
And the corresponding ActionScript:
ExternalInterface.call("removeDiv", "theIdOfTheDiv");
