Javascript to stop HTML5 video playback on modal window close
I'm using the following trick to stop HTML5 video. pause() the video on modal close and set currentTime = 0;
<script> var video = document.getElementById("myVideoPlayer"); function stopVideo(){ video.pause(); video.currentTime = 0; }</script>Now you can use stopVideo() method to stop HTML5 video. Like,
$("#stop").on('click', function(){ stopVideo();});
I searched all over the internet for an answer for this question. none worked for me except this code. Guaranteed. It work perfectly.
$('body').on('hidden.bs.modal', '.modal', function () {$('video').trigger('pause');});
I'm not sure whether ZohoGorganzola's solution is correct; however, you may want to try getting at the element directly rather than trying to invoke a method on the jQuery collection, so instead of
$("#videoContainer").pause();try
$("#videoContainer")[0].pause();
