When SoundCloud HTML5 Player Widget is loaded with autoplay option, play event not firing when track starts.
However there is a timeout between loading the widget (or loading other URL into the widget) and when the track starts, so it's nice widget to call the event.
Is this by design or is it issue to be solved?
The HTML5 Player widget should fire a SC.Widget.Events.PLAY event when the auto_play option is used. Here's a code snippet I used to verify:
HTML:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Widget Demo</title>
<style type="text/css">
iframe {
display:block;
border:0;
margin-bottom: 20px;
height: 365px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<iframe id="widget" width="100%"></iframe>
</body>
<script src="http://w.soundcloud.com/player/api.js"></script>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</html>
JavaScript (the contents of script.js):
(function() {
var iframe = document.querySelector('#widget');
iframe.src = 'http://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/43315398&auto_play=true';
var widget = SC.Widget(iframe);
widget.bind(SC.Widget.Events.PLAY, function(eventData) {
alert('Playing...');
});
}());
You can check out a working example here on jsfiddle.

I am trying to insert a Facebook embed video on my HTML code. Following is the sample code provided in the Facebook player documentation.
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Website Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Load Facebook SDK for JavaScript -->
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId: "{your-app-id}",
xfbml: true,
version: "v3.2"
});
// Get Embedded Video Player API Instance
var my_video_player;
FB.Event.subscribe("xfbml.ready", function(msg) {
if (msg.type === "video") {
my_video_player = msg.instance;
}
});
};
</script>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script async defer src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"></script>
<!-- Your embedded video player code -->
<div class="fb-video" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/facebook/videos/10153231379946729/" data-width="500" data-allowfullscreen="true"></div>
</body>
</html>
But on iOS devices, it is playing only in fullscreen mode. Is there a way I can play video without going to fullscreen?
Thanks!
I can play a song right after 5 seconds in my chrome browser but it doesn't work in safari. when I click on button text directly, it plays fine in safari too.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
function playAudio(){
var a=new Audio("on.mp3");
a.load();
a.play();
}
$(document).ready(function(){
setTimeout(function() {
playAudio();
}, 5000);
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
Audio will start playing after 5 second
<p id="playButton" onclick="playAudio()">button</p>
</body>
</html>
That's normal because of Safari auto-play policy that require a user gesture to play media : https://webkit.org/blog/7734/auto-play-policy-changes-for-macos

</a-scene>

</html>
This is my code. What is the issue with my code? And why it does not work on android browser? Any way to solve this?
As per the A-Frame docs (https://aframe.io/docs/0.8.0/primitives/a-videosphere.html#caveats), you should have the following lines in your code to ensure they function properly in as many devices as possible:
<head>
...
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
...
</head>
In the <video> element, itself, you will want to use this code to ensure that the video will play inline and will start playing immediately, if supported by the browser:
<video id="video" src="https://ucarecdn.com/fadab25d-0b3a-45f7-8ef5-85318e92a261/" autoplay loop playsinline webkit-playsinline crossorigin="anonymous"></video>
Note that crossorigin="anonymous" should be set when using assets hosted on other domains. It's also worth noting that some domains won't let you do this even if you use this code.
User interaction within the browser (outside of A-Frame) may be required to trigger the video for browsers that do not allow autoplaying by default. I modified your modal slightly to make it more visible:
<div id="splash" style="display: flex; height: 100%; width: 100%; z-index: 999999; position: absolute; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);">
<div id="start-button">Start</div>
</div>
The javascript can be simplified just by placing the following code immediately before the ending </body> tag:
<script>
// User interaction modal to trigger video in some browsers/devices.
var modal = document.querySelector('#splash');
var video = document.querySelector('#video');
modal.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
video.play();
this.parentNode.removeChild(this);
});
</script>
Now, when a user clicks the modal splash screen, the event listener will capture the event, play the video, and remove the splash screen entirely from the DOM.
Here is a working demo: https://ultra-bass.glitch.me/
You just may need to add logic for detecting mobile devices, or more specifically, the devices that require this workaround.
I'm wanting to create a "Latest Video" block on my website, but I only need the YouTube thumbnail image and MAYBE the title of the video. I found a method for doing an embed for the latest video itself, but I'm uncertain if I can modify it for just the thumbnail.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>YouTube Recent Upload Thing</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="static_video"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showVideo(response) {
if(response.data && response.data.items) {
var items = response.data.items;
if(items.length>0) {
var item = items[0];
var videoid = "http://www.youtube.com/embed/"+item.id;
console.log("Latest ID: '"+videoid+"'");
var video = "<iframe width='420' height='315' src='"+videoid+"' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe>";
$('#static_video').html(video);
}
}
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/urusernamehere/uploads?max-results=1&orderby=published&v=2&alt=jsonc&callback=showVideo"></script>
</body>
</html>
Can this be repurposed for my idea? And how can I do it if it can't? I have basic HTML and CSS knowledge, with a very limited understanding of javascript and php. If I can just get something that will swap the thumbnail and ideally display the title, I can handle styling and implementation. Also interested in the same for specific playlists' most recent addition, but that doesn't have to happen.
Not sure if this is what you mean but you can try something like:
<div onclick="this.style.display='none'; this.nextSibling.style.display='block';"><img src="image.png" style="cursor:pointer" /></div><div style="display:none">

</div>
How do I prevent scrolling without preventing default, because I still want the touchmove event to be processed:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="1600px" height="1600px" style="border:1px dashed gray;background-color:white;">
</canvas>
<script>
function brushStart() {
$('#myCanvas').css('background-color','blue');
}
function brushEnd() {
$('#myCanvas').css('background-color','red');
}
function brushMove() {
$('#myCanvas').css('background-color','yellow');
}
$('#myCanvas').bind('mousedown', brushStart);
$('#myCanvas').bind('mouseup', brushEnd);
$('#myCanvas').bind('mousemove', brushMove);
$('#myCanvas')[0].addEventListener('touchstart',brushStart,false);
$('#myCanvas')[0].addEventListener('touchend',brushEnd,false);
$('#myCanvas')[0].addEventListener('touchmove',brushMove,false);
</script>
</body>
</html>
When you say you want it to be processed - it still can be. Just write it like this:
$('#myCanvas')[0].addEventListener('touchmove', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
brushMove();
},false);
I don't guarantee that preventDefault alone will stop the scrolling, but that's how you'd write it if you wanted it to prevent the default and do your own method too. You could also put the call in brushMove itself.
Let me just say that you probably need to be doing preventDefault in touchStart and not touchMove. touchMove might actually be too late, because if it is scrolling there might be no touchMove events to be had!
