How can I play a video from splash screen in main page?












1














I have two html files, one is Splash screen and another is main.



The splash have a Go! button so clicking will redirect user to main.



How can I play a video in main, once I click on Go! button?
For some reason I cant use autoplay in the main.



Here is the Splash Screen code :






function myFunction() {
window.open("themes/default/main.html");
}

body {
text-align: center;
}

<div class="popup" onclick="myFunction()" >
<button>Go!</button>
</div>





And a simple code for main.html:



<video muted loop id="myVideo">
<source src="xmb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

          Try adding the words 'controls autoplay' in the video tag as given below.



          <video muted loop id="myVideo" controls autoplay>
          <source src="xmb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
          </video>

            You could use this code in main.html before body tag



            <script>
            document.getElementById('myVideo').play();
            </script>


            or



            <script>
            document.getElementById('myVideo').setAttribute("autoplay", "true");
            </script>


            Another method



            Play video only if you are opening from splash. Pass a parameter in url and check of that in main.html.



            function myFunction() {
            window.open("themes/default/main.html?play=1");
            }


            In main.html



            <script>
            function getUrlParameter(name) {
            name = name.replace(/[/, '\[').replace(/[]]/, '\]');
            var regex = new RegExp('[\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)');
            var results = regex.exec(location.search);
            return results === null ? '' : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/+/g, ' '));
            };

            if (getUrlParameter('play' == '1') {
            document.getElementById('myVideo').play();
            })
            </script>

              Change in your splash screen code function to



              function myFunction() {
              window.open("themes/default/main.html?s=autoplay");
              }


              and add your main.html to



              <script>
              var status = window.location.search.substring(3);
              if (status == 'autoplay')
              {
              var vid = document.getElementById('myVideo');
              vid.play();
              }
              </script>

                            For some reason I cant use autoplay in the main.




                            You could use this code in main.html before body tag



                            <script>
                            document.getElementById('myVideo').play();
                            </script>


                            or



                            <script>
                            document.getElementById('myVideo').setAttribute("autoplay", "true");
                            </script>


                            Another method



                            Play video only if you are opening from splash. Pass a parameter in url and check of that in main.html.



                            function myFunction() {
                            window.open("themes/default/main.html?play=1");
                            }


                            In main.html



                            <script>
                            function getUrlParameter(name) {
                            name = name.replace(/[/, '\[').replace(/[]]/, '\]');
                            var regex = new RegExp('[\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)');
                            var results = regex.exec(location.search);
                            return results === null ? '' : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/+/g, ' '));
                            };

                            if (getUrlParameter('play' == '1') {
                            document.getElementById('myVideo').play();
                            })
                            </script>

                                Change in your splash screen code function to



                                function myFunction() {
                                window.open("themes/default/main.html?s=autoplay");
                                }


                                and add your main.html to



                                <script>
                                var status = window.location.search.substring(3);
                                if (status == 'autoplay')
                                {
                                var vid = document.getElementById('myVideo');
                                vid.play();
                                }
                                </script>
