Guest, before posting your code please take these rules into consideration:
- It is required to use our BBCode feature to display your code. While within the editor click < / > or >_ and place your code within the BB Code prompt. This helps others with finding a solution by making it easier to read and easier to copy.
- You can also use markdown to share your code. When using markdown your code will be automatically converted to BBCode. For help with markdown check out the markdown guide.
- Don't share a wall of code. All we want is the problem area, the code related to your issue.
To learn more about how to use our BBCode feature, review our "How to post your code into threads" here.
Thank you, Code Forum.
Wanting to insert multiple videos in the same html player- is there a way to do this?

Sounds like you could dynamically read from a file where the urls will be contained, read them into an array in Javascript, iterate through the collection, create a new video element and put the urls into the video source attribute

One at a time, I assume. Track when a video has ended and swap out the source for the next video.
The most performance optimized way is to read them all at once, and then you control which video is next

So how would I do this? I'm not that hot on JS.

JS isn't my strong suit either, so I asked ai to help:
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<body>
<video id="player" width="640" height="360" controls></video>
<script>
// URL list
const playlist = [
"video1.mp4",
"video2.mp4",
"video3.mp4"
];
const delayBetweenVideos = 2000; // delay between videos. Can be 0.
const loopPlaylist = true; // true = loop back to start, false = stop
const video = document.getElementById("player");
let currentIndex = 0;
function playVideo(index) {
if (playlist.length === 0) return; // nothing to play
currentIndex = index % playlist.length; // wrap around
video.src = playlist[currentIndex];
video.play().catch(err => {
console.warn("Autoplay prevented:", err);
});
}
video.addEventListener("ended", () => {
currentIndex++;
if (currentIndex < playlist.length) {
setTimeout(() => playVideo(currentIndex), delayBetweenVideos);
} else if (loopPlaylist) {
setTimeout(() => playVideo(0), delayBetweenVideos);
} else {
console.log("Playlist finished.");
}
});
// Start the first video
playVideo(currentIndex);
</script>
</body>
