How to change video (and start playing immediately) in Flowplayer via Javascript?

Question

It should change the video and start playing regardless of whether or not a video is currently loaded and playing.

Thanks.

Answer 1

See example below where api is your flowplayer instance and replaceclip is the one you want to start plating

var api = flashembed("player", {src:'FlowPlayerDark.swf'}, {config: ...}});
var replaceclip = {'url':'myvideo.mp4', 'autoplay':true};

<button onClick="api.playClip(replaceclip)">Play</button>

Answer 2

See my example in Github https://github.com/Teaonly/android-eye/blob/master/assets/droideye.js

var initAudioPlayer = function () {
    // install flowplayer into container
    // http://flash.flowplayer.org/

    $f("player", "flowplayer-3.2.15.swf", {
        plugins: {
            controls: {
                fullscreen: false,
                height: 30,
                autoHide: false,
                play: false,
            }
        },
        clip: {
            autoPlay: false,
            url: "stream/live.mp3",
        }
    });

    audioPlayer = $f();
};

var newClip = {'url':'stream/live.mp3?id='+audioCount,'autoplay':true};
audioCount ++;
audioPlayer.play(newClip);
