I am trying to use video.js to prevent fast-forward, but to allow fast-forward, for mp4 video on the Moodle site. It works correctly in Chrome and Opera, but when I try in Safari, I get the following error message:
VIDEOJS: (4)
"ERROR:"
"(CODE:4 MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED)"
"The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported."
I saw a proposal to change the Content-Type header to mp4, but for some reason mine iframedoes not generate a tag head(only in Safari, in all other browsers it iframecontains a tag htmlwith headand body). Also, it turns out I'm blocked from adding the tag headto iframe html. I tried to throw it into the tag meta, but this did not affect the error message
The following is the script used to prevent fast forward:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://vjs.zencdn.net/5.0/video-js.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://vjs.zencdn.net/5.0/video.min.js"></script>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
if ($('iframe').length > 0) {
$('iframe').ready(function() {
if ($('iframe').contents().find('head').length === 0) {
console.log("*********************");
console.log("In the if!");
$('iframe').contents().find('html').prepend("<head><meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width' content-type='video/mp4'></head>");
$('iframe').contents().find('html').attr("content-type", "video/mp4");
console.log($('iframe').contents().find('head'));
console.log($('iframe').contents().find('html'));
}
var videoPlayer = $('iframe').contents().find('video')[0];
var cssLink = document.createElement("link")
cssLink.href = "https://vjs.zencdn.net/5.0/video-js.min.css";
cssLink.rel = "stylesheet";
cssLink.type = "text/css";
$('iframe').contents().find('head').append(cssLink);
videojs(videoPlayer, {}, function() {
var vjsPlayer = this;
$('iframe').contents().find('video').prop('controls', 'true');
$('iframe').contents().find('div .vjs-big-play-button').html('');
$('iframe').contents().find('div .vjs-control-bar').html('');
$('iframe').contents().find('div .vjs-caption-settings').html('');
var currentTime = 0;
vjsPlayer.on("seeking", function(event) {
if (currentTime < vjsPlayer.currentTime()) {
vjsPlayer.currentTime(currentTime);
}
});
vjsPlayer.on("seeked", function(event) {
if (currentTime < vjsPlayer.currentTime()) {
vjsPlayer.currentTime(currentTime);
}
});
setInterval(function() {
if (!vjsPlayer.paused()) {
currentTime = vjsPlayer.currentTime();
}
}, 1000);
});
});
}
}
</script>
My web server is Apache2.
Any advice on how to enable video / mp 4 Content-Type (or another way to resolve this error) is welcome.
I'm also having issues with play / pause features for videos in Firefox and Microsoft Edge . Please check out these questions if you have any ideas.
