Question

I'm trying to play a video on image click and hide it when video is done, and so far I have a structure like this: 

<a href="#">
    <div style="display:none"></div>
    <div class="overlay_play_big"></div>
    <div class="overlay_label">
        <span class="title">Bones</span><br />
        <span class="desc">Season 8, Episode 19</span>
    </div>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://admin.brightcove.com/js/BrightcoveExperiences.js"></script>

    <object id="myExperience2768811593001" class="BrightcoveExperience">
        <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
        <param name="width" value="470" />
        <param name="height" value="292" />
        <param name="playerID" value="2764056952001" />
        <param name="playerKey" value="AQ~~,AAACg0nERbk~,bDrRQnHHnTJYYUzl4RqDhsPQ_y-ladJF" />
        <param name="isVid" value="true" />
        <param name="dynamicStreaming" value="true" />
        <param name="includeAPI" value="true" /> 
        <param name="templateLoadHandler" value="onTemplateLoaded" /> 
        <param name="templateReadyHandler" value="onTemplateReady" />
        <param name="@videoPlayer" value="2768811593001" />
    </object>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        var player, modVP;

        function onTemplateLoaded(experienceID) {
          player = brightcove.api.getExperience(experienceID);
          modVP = player.getModule(brightcove.api.modules.APIModules.VIDEO_PLAYER);
        }

        function onTemplateReady(evt) {
          modVP.addEventListener(brightcove.api.events.MediaEvent.COMPLETE, onComplete);
        }

        function onComplete(evt) {
          alert("Video ended");
        }
    </script>

I want to trigger video playback on click of the overlay_play_big div. I'm using the Brightcove API but even this simple alert won't work. The video ends and nothing happens. How can I do this, or am I making a mistake ?

Was it helpful?

Solution

This below code will work as expected..

  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

   } else {
      modVP.loadVideoByID(videosToSwap[0]);
   }
}

$('.overlay_play_big').on('click',function(){
      modVP.play();
});
