Sequential Videos

[Ultramog]

I'm trying to optimize the presentation of multiple sequential videos.

My first attempt listens for the conclusion of the first video, then writes a new .src attribute to the player. The second .src attribute is applied and printed to an alert, but the video player continues to render the first .src. Also, I have not been able to assign a <source> with multiple codec attributes dynamically. Example:

My second attempt creates discrete <video> elements. They are hidden, revealed and paused in sequence.

This version works in OS X Safari and Firefox, but not on iPhone. iPhone switches back from Quicktime to Safari upon completion of the first video and displays a broken play button.

Is there a more robust implementation for sequential videos?

Try to set src and then call load() on the element.

With <source> elements, try to change the src on the <source>s and then call load() on the video element.

The first tip works well. So I have a single player playlist running on iPhone here:

There is a pre-roll without controls followed by content with controls.

Have not been able to successfully apply the second tip for codec failover. Onward...
