html5 video player playlist loop

Question

This question might be asked before. I have an array of videos. What I want to loop this playlist when it's end.

My code works fine and it loop through all the video one by one and play but the problem is when it plays last video after this it stop. I want to start over again from first video. I will appreciate any help.

Here is the code

var videoList = [..]

var curVideo = 0;
var videoPlayer = document.getElementById('videoPlayer');
videoPlayer.onended = function(){
        curVideo++;
    if(curVideo < videoList.length){            
        videoPlayer.src = videoList[curVideo];        
    } else if (curVideo == videoList.length){
        console.log("list is finished");        
    }
}

Answer 1

Change your if statement to while and then when curVideo reaches the end, set curVideo back to 0. That should create an infinite loop.

You would of course need to change your else if to an if to check to see if it's at the end.

Answer 2

It works for me. I figured it out. This is the code maybe someone can benefit from it.

var videoList = [..]
var curVideo = 0;
var videoPlayer = document.getElementById('videoPlayer');
videoPlayer.onended = function(){
    curVideo++;  

    if(curVideo < videoList.length){            
        videoPlayer.src = videoList[curVideo];  
      //  return;      
    }  
    if (curVideo == videoList.length){
        curVideo=0;
       videoPlayer.src = videoList[curVideo];       
    }
}
