HTML5 video loop src change on end play function not working

Question

I have a number of videos playing one by one in the same HTML5 video player

HTML

Answer 1

The html5 video element has an own eventtype onended, you dont need your own eventlistener.

Html:

<video id="homevideo" width="100%" autoplay onended="run()">
    <source src="app/video1.mp4" type='video/mp4'/>
</video>

and

Script:

video_count =1;
videoPlayer = document.getElementById("homevideo");

function run(){
        video_count++;
        if (video_count == 4) video_count = 1;
        var nextVideo = "app/video"+video_count+".mp4";
        videoPlayer.src = nextVideo;
        videoPlayer.play();
   };

PS: Keep in mind that providing only one format for your video is not enough since no single format is supported by all major browsers yet.

At Media Events
Events triggered by medias like videos, images and audio (applies to all HTML elements, but is most common in media elements, like <audio>, <embed>, <img>, <object>, and <video>):

onended: Script to be run when the media has reach the end (a useful event for messages like "thanks for listening")
