Issue setting currentTime in HTML5 video

Question

I have a video in the middle of my html. As you can see at first I haven\'t any source

Answer 1

As above mentioned, you try to set currentTime when the video is not seekable. So, as an alternative use-case (reset time to 0 when a user click on a button, for example), you can do something like:

function resetVideo() {
  myVid.pause();
   
  if (myVid.seekable.length > 0) {
    myVid.currentTime = 0;
  }
}

Alternatively, you can also trying to reset only if the video has been played before.

function resetVideo() {
  myVid.pause();
   
  if (myVid.currentTime !== 0) {
    myVid.currentTime = 0;
  }
}
