multiple videos... about video-stream-sample HOT 1 CLOSED

I guess you might have figured it out in the meantime but I will leave this as a guideline for anyone else that might have similar questions.

If you have two videos, let's say sample_1 and sample_2 you can on the server.js replace the path with something like:

const path = `assets/${req.query.name}.mp4`

And on the index.html add the name of the video you want to load:

<video id="videoPlayer" controls muted="muted" autoplay>
  <source src="/video?name=sample_1" type="video/mp4">
</video>

As for switching videos, if you done the above, let's say you have a button to load the second video and you add a click event:

<video id="videoPlayer" controls muted="muted" autoplay>
  <source src="/video?name=sample_1" type="video/mp4">
</video>

<button class="video2">Second video</button>

<script src="index.js"></script>

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', init, false)

function init() {
  const video2 = document
    .querySelector('.video2')
  
  video2
    .addEventListener('click', () => {
      const videoPlayer = document
        .getElementById('videoPlayer')
      const videoPlayerSource = document
        .querySelector('#videoPlayer source')

      videoPlayerSource
        .setAttribute('src', '/video?name=sample_2')

      videoPlayer.load()
    })
}

For the size of the video you can either add the width and height with css (preferred) or add it on the index.html

<video id="videoPlayer" width="800" height="450" controls muted="muted" autoplay>
  <source src="/video?name=sample_1" type="video/mp4">
</video>
