action when media ends |
|
|
Hello,
I would like to write javascript that executes when my media clip ends in
the media player object. In more detail, I have a button that changes from
play to pause depending on the playstate of the player. When the clip is
playing the button shows a pause image and when paused it shows a play
image. This all works great. The problem is that when the clip ends, the
pause image stays on the button and it should ofcourse change to the play
image.
Is there some way to catch the ending of the clip with javascript or some
other way to detect it?

Sure, you can watch the player.playState property for it changin to a
value of 8 (MediaEnded : Media has completed playback and is at its
end)
Just fire events onPlayStateChange for the player, and check the event
return value for it being 8 - when it is, use your usual image
flipping script

Sorry, I am new with this, so a few more questions.
Im not sure where to add the onPlayStateChange command. Should i add it as a
parameter for the player object and then give it a value for a javascript
function? Or can i use it straight as a funtion like onPlayStateChange(){
} And do i need to add the parameter SendPlayStateChangeEvents and give it a
true value?

OK try starting with (assuming your embedded player ID is
'mediaplayer' without the quotes)
<script for="mediaplayer" language="javascript1.2"
event="playstatechange(newstate)">
document.getElementById("statuschanges").innerHTML+="Play
state changed to "+newstate+"<br />";
</script>
<div id="statuschanges"></div>
See where that gets you and we can go from there.

Re: action when media ends |

Thanks for the script, its really helpful..
But I have a problem, the playstate values that are returned seem to be all
wrong. When a clip ends, it gives the playstate values.
Playstate changed to 2
Playstate changed to 0
Playstate changed to 3
I dont really understand this.. Why doesnt it give a value 8 when the clip
ends. Why 3, it means its playing, doesnt it?

The playstate moves through various stages, not necessarily in any
order you might expect.
You need to monitor the playstate for a 'stopped' state (which can be
8 or sometimes 1, or 10, but generally is 8). Its important to know
that the play state may not change in any predicatable order. I should
add, it works reliable for me. An example I tried went :
9 - 9 - 3 - 6 - 3 - 8 - 9 - 10
The full list of playstates is in the SDK documentation for the
player, but I've pasted it here so you can compare the values :
0 Undefined Windows Media Player is in an undefined state.
1 Stopped Playback of the current media clip is stopped.
2 Paused Playback of the current media clip is paused. When media is
paused, resuming playback begins from the same location.
3 Playing The current media clip is playing.
4 ScanForward The current media clip is fast forwarding.
5 ScanReverse The current media clip is fast rewinding.
6 Buffering The current media clip is getting additional data from
the server.
7 Waiting Connection is established, however the server is not
sending bits. Waiting for session to begin.
8 MediaEnded Media has completed playback and is at its end.
9 Transitioning Preparing new media.
10 Ready Ready to begin playing.
11 Reconnecting Reconnecting to stream.
However if you're ending on a playstate of 3, it suggests that events
are not being captured completely, or that your media is doing
something else at the end eg displaying a banner ad or other content.
This is where I ask if you can provide a URL of the code you have so
far, which is the only real way to investigat your problem further.
Can you put it online for use to test ?
