I an trying to stop all currently playing videos on a page where the person can play multi videos at the same time (im trying to prevent that). So i want to either stop everything on the page with one command or just the running ones, whatever is easier. I also would love to do this without listing stop functions for all 25 videos on the page. Let me know if you think you have a solution!
If you visit my web site, www.mirana.net and then in the experiemental section select the 3D rotating cube.
There each face of the cube(6) will play a video which you can stop using the API of the JWPlayer.
For example:
each face is instantiated with a different ID hence using the code below when the stop text is clicked it will stop the JWPlayer with an ID of div1.
bc.. onclick="$jw('div1').stop()"
*NOTE:
It is possible to have all of the cube's sides play video BUT not recommended to do so by virtue that it will create excessive CPU overhead. I suggest activating three videos then you can stop each of them by clicking on the "STOP" text.*
Hope is is helpful for you
Here is some code showing how to do this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://player.longtailvideo.com/jwplayer.js"></script> <title>Multiple</title> </head> <body> <div id="container"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> jwplayer("container").setup({ file: "http://www.longtailvideo.com/jw/upload/bunny.mp4", image: "http://www.longtailvideo.com/jw/upload/bunny.jpg", height: 300, width: 400, controlbar: "bottom" }); </script> <div id="container2"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> jwplayer("container2").setup({ file: "http://www.longtailvideo.com/jw/upload/bunny.flv", image: "http://www.longtailvideo.com/jw/upload/bunny.jpg", height: 300, width: 400, controlbar: "bottom" }); </script> <div id="container3"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> jwplayer("container3").setup({ file: "http://www.longtailvideo.com/jw/upload/bunny.mov", image: "http://www.longtailvideo.com/jw/upload/bunny.jpg", height: 300, width: 400, controlbar: "bottom" }); </script><a href="#" onclick="jwplayer('container').play();jwplayer('container2').play();jwplayer('container3').play();"> Play All Players </a><br /><a href="#" onclick="jwplayer('container').stop();jwplayer('container2').stop();jwplayer('container3').stop();"> Stop All Players </a></html>
thats my issue I want to stop all 25 videos with one command, im guessing thats not possible
You would just have to manually do it like I did for my example:
<a href="#" onclick="jwplayer('container').stop();jwplayer('container2').stop();jwplayer('container3').stop();">
Stop All Players
</a>
You would have to add the other ids here.
