How do you detect when a HTML5 element has finished playing?
You can simply add onended="myFunction()"
to your video tag.
<video onended="myFunction()">
...
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function myFunction(){
console.log("The End.")
}
</script>
You can add listener all video events nicluding ended, loadedmetadata, timeupdate
where ended
function gets called when video ends
$("#myVideo").on("ended", function() {
//TO DO: Your code goes here...
alert("Video Finished");
});
$("#myVideo").on("loadedmetadata", function() {
alert("Video loaded");
this.currentTime = 50;//50 seconds
//TO DO: Your code goes here...
});
$("#myVideo").on("timeupdate", function() {
var cTime=this.currentTime;
if(cTime>0 && cTime % 2 == 0)//Alerts every 2 minutes once
alert("Video played "+cTime+" minutes");
//TO DO: Your code goes here...
var perc=cTime * 100 / this.duration;
if(perc % 10 == 0)//Alerts when every 10% watched
alert("Video played "+ perc +"%");
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<video id="myVideo" controls="controls">
<source src="your_video_file.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="your_video_file.mp4" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
</body>
</html>
Here is a full example, I hope it helps =).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<video id="myVideo" controls="controls">
<source src="your_video_file.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="your_video_file.mp4" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
<script type='text/javascript'>
document.getElementById('myVideo').addEventListener('ended',myHandler,false);
function myHandler(e) {
if(!e) { e = window.event; }
alert("Video Finished");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
You can add an event listener with 'ended' as first param
Like this :
<video src="video.ogv" id="myVideo">
video not supported
</video>
<script type='text/javascript'>
document.getElementById('myVideo').addEventListener('ended',myHandler,false);
function myHandler(e) {
// What you want to do after the event
}
</script>
JQUERY
$("#video1").bind("ended", function() {
//TO DO: Your code goes here...
});
HTML
<video id="video1" width="420">
<source src="path/filename.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
Event types HTML Audio and Video DOM Reference
Here is a simple approach which triggers when the video ends.
<html>
<body>
<video id="myVideo" controls="controls">
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
etc ...
</video>
</body>
<script type='text/javascript'>
document.getElementById('myVideo').addEventListener('ended', function(e) {
alert('The End');
})
</script>
</html>
In the 'EventListener' line substitute the word 'ended' with 'pause' or 'play' to capture those events as well.
