jQuery Video Target Question

• ArmandoEstrada

  jQuery novice here. So in flash, I was able to set up a video player with thumbnails. When you click a thumb, it loads the video into the layer. I would like similar setup, where I have one player window and loads video (form vimeo) without refreshing the page.

  Links to tutorials or $ plugins would be appreciated.

  try the .get function, which is ajax..
  Have a script or page somewhere that is just the embed code for the vimeo video, then pass that to the $.get function, more at:
  http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get…
  Should be able to work it out from there :)

  Thanks. Would I have 1 page per video or 1 page with all the embed codes in it?

  could point it at a script and pass a variable...
  like:
  $.get("myvideos.php", { videoTitle: "MyLittlePony" } );

  Then just do a switch in your php on $videoTitle, ect :)

  Quick jquery / YouTube frame API question. If I have:

  Need a video to pause if the tab/div it's in is hidden. I have the following to close the tabs and open the one the user selects:

  $(function() {
  $('#showdiv1').click(function() {
  $('div[id^=video]').hide();
  $('#video1').show();
  });

  How/where would I chain in when the tab is hidden:

  player.pauseVideo();

  Anything I've tried fails.

  • I didn't think it needed it's own thread, so bumped this old one.ETM
  • BTW #showdiv1 is just the anchor id, #video1 is the div the video resides in.ETM
