Auto-Redirecting after BigVideo.js video ends - video.js

I'm having trouble auto-redirecting after my video has ended using BigVideo.js. Not sure what's wrong here. Not only does this not redirect it completely breaks the player and the video does not play.
<script type="text/javascript">
var BV;
$(function() {
// initialize BigVideo
BV = new $.BigVideo();
BV.init();
BV.show('vids/video.mp4');
BV.getPlayer().on("ended", function() {
window.location = "http://www.google.com";
})
});
</script>

I tested your code locally and the redirection worked without any problems.
I guess it depends on the browser type/version or other environment factor.
Try to properly unload the video element by:
BV.getPlayer().on("ended", function () {
this.pause();
delete(this);
window.location = "http://www.google.com";
});

hope that will do the trick :)

URL.createObjectURL(mediaSource) - play back video from URL - MOOV atom - Elastic Transcoder

I am trying to play back a video (currently hosted on S3 with public access) by creating a blob URL.
I have used Elastic Transcoder to encode the video since it is supposed to set the MOOV atom to the top (beginning).
I am unable to get the code to work but also found a working example: link here
Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
</head>
<body>
<video controls></video>
<script>
var video = document.querySelector('video');
var assetURL = 'https://ovation-blob-url-test.s3.amazonaws.com/AdobeStock_116640093_Video_WM_NEW.mp4';
// Need to be specific for Blink regarding codecs
// ./mp4info frag_bunny.mp4 | grep Codec
var mimeCodec = 'video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"';
if ('MediaSource' in window && MediaSource.isTypeSupported(mimeCodec)) {
var mediaSource = new MediaSource;
//console.log(mediaSource.readyState); // closed
video.src = URL.createObjectURL(mediaSource);
mediaSource.addEventListener('sourceopen', sourceOpen);
} else {
console.error('Unsupported MIME type or codec: ', mimeCodec);
}
function sourceOpen (_) {
//console.log(this.readyState); // open
var mediaSource = this;
var sourceBuffer = mediaSource.addSourceBuffer(mimeCodec);
fetchAB(assetURL, function (buf) {
sourceBuffer.addEventListener('updateend', function (_) {
mediaSource.endOfStream();
video.play();
//console.log(mediaSource.readyState); // ended
});
sourceBuffer.appendBuffer(buf);
});
};
function fetchAB (url, cb) {
console.log(url);
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest;
xhr.open('get', url);
xhr.responseType = 'arraybuffer';
xhr.onload = function () {
cb(xhr.response);
};
xhr.send();
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
What am I doing wrong? I looked at tools ie.e MP4Box or QT-FastStart but they seem to be kind of old school. I would also be willing to change from MP4 to M3U8 playlist but then I don't know what MIME types to use.
At the ned of the day I am trying to play back a video/stream and hide the URL (origin) potentially using blob.
Thank you guys!
So, first, even though this code seems to be taken from mozilla documentation site, there are a few issues - you are not checking the readyState before calling endOfStream thus the error you get is valid, secondly, the play() call is blocked by the autoplay policy changes. If you add an error handler, you will actually see that the appendBuffer fails. Here is the updated snippet:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
</head>
<body>
<video controls></video>
<script>
var video = document.querySelector('video');
var assetURL = 'https://ovation-blob-url-test.s3.amazonaws.com/AdobeStock_116640093_Video_WM_NEW.mp4';
// Need to be specific for Blink regarding codecs
// ./mp4info frag_bunny.mp4 | grep Codec
var mimeCodec = 'video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"';
if ('MediaSource' in window && MediaSource.isTypeSupported(mimeCodec)) {
var mediaSource = new MediaSource;
//console.log(mediaSource.readyState); // closed
video.src = URL.createObjectURL(mediaSource);
mediaSource.addEventListener('sourceopen', sourceOpen);
} else {
console.error('Unsupported MIME type or codec: ', mimeCodec);
}
function sourceOpen (_) {
//console.log(this.readyState); // open
var mediaSource = this;
var sourceBuffer = mediaSource.addSourceBuffer(mimeCodec);
fetchAB(assetURL, function (buf) {
sourceBuffer.addEventListener('updateend', function (_) {
// console.log(mediaSource.readyState); // ended
if (mediaSource.readyState === "open") {
mediaSource.endOfStream();
video.play();
}
});
sourceBuffer.addEventListener('error', function (event) {
console.log('an error encountered while trying to append buffer');
});
sourceBuffer.appendBuffer(buf);
});
};
function fetchAB (url, cb) {
console.log(url);
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest;
xhr.open('get', url);
xhr.responseType = 'arraybuffer';
xhr.onload = function () {
cb(xhr.response);
};
xhr.send();
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
So lets advance to next issue - the actual error. So, using chrome://media-internals/ we can see that the video actually fails to load do to incompatibility with the ISOBMFF format:
I am not familiar with Elastic Transcoder, but it seems that is it not producing an mp4 file suitable for live streaming. Also, if using mse, putting moov at the beginning is not enough, the video actually has to meet all of the ISOBMFF requirements - see chapters 3. and 4.
The working sample you mentioned is not a valid comparison since it uses the blob for the src, where the ISOBMFF rules do not apply. If it is fine for you to go that way, don't use MSE and put the blob directly in the src. If you need MSE, you have to mux it correctly.
Ok, so I got the original code example to work by encoding my MP4 videos with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=1920:1080,setsar=1:1 -c:v libx264 -preset medium -c:a aac -movflags empty_moov+default_base_moof+frag_keyframe output.mp4 -hide_banner
Important is: -movflags empty_moov+default_base_moof+frag_keyframe
This setup also scales the video to 1920x1080 (disregarding any aspect ratio of the input video)
However, based on the comments of the original post, I do believe there might be a more efficient way to generate the blob url and ingest into a video tag. This example was copied straight from https://developer.mozilla.org.
If anyone comes up with a better script (not over-engineered), please post it here.
Thank you #Rudolfs Bundulis for all your help!

AccountKit SDK was not initialized?

I have a problem with the AccountKit JavaScript SDK ,
When i integrate it with my website it works fine with Firefox but in Chrome it works fine first, but when i try to use it again it gives me this error:
'AccountKit SDK was not initialized. Call AccountKit.init first.'
Any idea?
The idea is to add the initialization immediately after the sdk loads. Seems like when there is much data/code to load before the initialization, it sometimes hangs.
ie
<script src="https://sdk.accountkit.com/en_US/sdk.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
AccountKit_OnInteractive = function(){
AccountKit.init(
{
appId:youID,
state:"{{csrf}}",
version:"v1.1"
}
);
console.log("{{csrf}}")
};
</script>
NOT
<script src="https://sdk.accountkit.com/en_US/sdk.js"></script>
// some code
<script type="text/javascript">
AccountKit_OnInteractive = function(){
AccountKit.init(
{
appId:youID,
state:"{{csrf}}",
version:"v1.1"
}
);
console.log("{{csrf}}")
};
</script>
I have same issue and I solve it. Just call your AccountKit.init your main file(index.html) where your app hold all scripts. From me it looks like this:
index.html
<script src="https://sdk.accountkit.com/en_US/sdk.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
AccountKit_OnInteractive = function(){
AccountKit.init(
{
appId:youID,
state:"{{csrf}}",
version:"v1.1"
}
);
console.log("{{csrf}}")
};
</script>
Can you add in the code that you're using?
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/accountkit/web
You do need to call AccountKit.init as part of the setup.

VideoJS doesn´t play after pause RTMP live stream

I´m using VideoJS for a live stream from Wowza server but when I pause the player and them I play again the player does not recover the stream. I need to reload the webpage to start the stream again.
<video id="videoID" class="video-js vjs-default-skin vjs-big-play-centered" poster="/images/image.png" controls="controls" width="320" height="240" data-setup='{"techOrder": ["flash"]}'>
<source src="rtmp://www.myhost.com:1935/live/live.stream" type="rtmp/mp4" />
</video>
There are any method to do stop or VideoJS reload when the paused event appear?
EDIT: I've encountered the solution using this script:
<script type="text/javascript">
var myPlayer = videojs('videoID');
videojs("videoID").ready(function(){
var myPlayer = this;
myPlayer.on("pause", function () {
myPlayer.on("play", function () { myPlayer.load (); myPlayer.off("play"); });
});
});
</script>
Ok so i found a solution. Instead of stripping all of the play events form the player you actually just need to edit the flash play event inside of video.dev.js on line 7337 (in version 4.11.4 i think). this is the line that says:
vjs.Flash.prototype.play = function(){
this.el_.vjs_play();
};
it should be changed to say:
vjs.Flash.prototype.play = function(){
this.el_.vjs_load();
this.el_.vjs_play();
};
so that the load event is called before the play event.
I found the solution here
$(document).ready(function(){
var player = videojs('really-cool-video', { /* Options */}, function () {
// ...
var player = this;
player.on("pause", function () {
player.one("play", function () {
player.load();
player.play();
});
});
});
});

XMLHttpRequest in a ContentScript from the Firefox SDK (Cross-Domain)

I am porting a chrome extension to firefox and want to keep as much code as possible. I am working with the sdk and I am new with JavaScript, so please bear with me if it is just a nooby mistake ;)
I need to get some stuff via a couple of XMLHttpRequests in content-scripts.
The "firefox-way" of doing things would be to use the sdk-request-api and work via messages between the main- and the content-script like so. Besides the fact that it would mean a lot of work for me to implement this throughout the whole addon, I also need to get binary data, which seems not to be possible.
The workaround for this is documented here. I would prefer to avoid this, since I think I read somewhere that it is a beta-feature right now and it seems to be pretty "work-aroundy".
Ideally I would like to implement it this way. In the upcoming Firefox 24 it should be possible to allow content scripts to access certain domains. Therefore I am using Firefox Aurora right now. I added the following code to my package.json:
"permissions": {
"cross-domain-content": ["http://mozilla.org"]
}
My main.js creates a panel when a button is clicked and loads the scripts into it:
var testPanel = require("sdk/panel").Panel({
contentURL: data.url("pages/background.html"),
contentScriptFile: [data.url("util/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"), data.url("pages/xhrTest.js")]
})
testPanel.show();
And this is my xhrTest.js:
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET","http://mozilla.org",true);
xhr.onerror = function () {
console.log("Error");
};
xhr.onload = function () {
console.log("loaded");
}
xhr.send();
While debugging, it jumps from status 2 to 4 with an empty response and calls the "onerror". The status is 0, statustext is empty and I don't see any other indicators of what went wrong.
Now I don't know if this is still the same-origin-policy blocking me, or if I did something else wrong?
I'd really appreciate any help I can get :)
Thanks in advance,
Fabi
Hrm, I can't really see a glaring error. Here is an example add-on based on the docs that does work, at least it does for me in Firefox 24 Beta:
Main.js:
// main.js
var data = require("sdk/self").data;
var panel = require("sdk/panel").Panel({
height: 250,
contentURL: data.url("panel.html"),
contentScriptFile: data.url("panel-script.js")
});
panel.on("show", function(){
panel.port.emit("show");
});
require("sdk/widget").Widget({
id: "test-widget",
label: "Test-Widget",
contentURL: "http://www.mozilla.org/favicon.ico",
panel: panel
});
Panel.html:
<!doctype HTML>
<html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<head></head>
<body>
<pre id="forecast_summary"></pre>
</body>
</html>
Content script:
// panel-script.js
var url = "https://hn-test.firebaseio.com/articles/e5b10c82600b51732af584583a7f57c4a7c01bff.json";
self.port.on("show", function () {
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("GET", url, true);
request.onload = function () {
var element = document.getElementById("forecast_summary");
// formatting
var pretty = JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(request.responseText), null, ' ');
element.textContent = pretty;
};
request.send();
});

How to refresh page on resize?

Is there a script to make the browser refresh when a page is re-sized? More specifically, one that emulates the browser refresh button or F5? I've found two, but they don't quite do what I'm looking for;
<script type="text/javascript">
var currheight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
window.onresize = function(){
if(currheight != document.documentElement.clientHeight) {
location.replace(location.href);
}
}
</script>
and
<body onResize="window.location=window.location;">
The problem with these two is they appear to completely reset the page where as using the browsers refresh function leaves some user made changes intact (like being at a specific hash for instance) which is what I need.
So is there a way to refresh the window on re-size with a script similar to if the browser refresh was clicked? I don't understand why there is even a difference but there is.
Thanks.
Yes, you probably want to take a look at some JavaScript events. There is an OnResize event.
Here's a link to get you started with events:
http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/JavaScript/OnReset-OnResize-and-Other-JavaScript-Events/
As far as reloading the page, you can do that too:
http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/javascript/page/reload.html
As far as keeping the user values, you could persist them in a session.
Here is the perfect solution :
I have included timeout of 1 sec i.e. browser will refresh after 1 sec of window resize
$(window).resize(function() {
setTimeout( function(){
window.location.href = window.location.href;
},1000);
});
Without timeout
$(window).resize(function() {
window.location.href = window.location.href;
});
NOTE : You may also use window.location.reload() instead of window.location.href = window.location.href
window.location.reload() reloads the current page with POST data, whilewindow.location.href=window.location.href does not include the POST data
-- hope it helps
Try this:
<![if !IE]> <body onresize="document.location=window.location;"> <![endif]>
<!--[if IE]> <body onresize="window.location.reload();"> <![endif]-->
