Automatically open URL after my media player avi file finishes

Question

I want to automatically open URL on the same page after my media player avi file finish and here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
  <title>WELCOME TO LOTUS TENDA WEBSITE</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<br><br>
<table border="0" align=center>
   <tr>
     <td> 
     <object id="MediaPlayer1" CLASSID="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"

standby="Loading Microsoft Windows® Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" width="890" height="500">
<param name="fileName" value="intro.avi">
<param name="animationatStart" value="true">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="true">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="showControls" value="false">
<param name="Volume" value="-450">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" 
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="intro.avi" 
name="MediaPlayer1" width=890 height=500 autostart=1 showcontrols=0 volume=-450>
</object>
     </td>
       </tr>
 </table>
</body>
</html>

setInterval(function () {
                if ($("MediaPlayer1")[0].playState == 1) {
                    $("MediaPlayer1")[0].URL = "nextVideo.wmv";
                }
            }, 100);

This can be done with JavaScript by sampling the PlayState property of the object. From quick test that I conducted, it will be 2 before the video started playing, 3 while it's playing and 0 when the video finished playing.

Add this inside your <head> section:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
    var oVid = document.getElementById("MediaPlayer1");
    window.setTimeout(function CheckVidState() {
        if (oVid.PlayState == 0) {
            document.location = "OtherPage.html";
            return true;
        }
        window.setTimeout(CheckVidState, 10);
        return false;
    }, 10);
};
</script>

This will redirect the user to OtherPage.html when the video finished playing.

Why don't you use `window.setInterval(function(){}, 10)`? – ComFreek Oct 23 '11 at 12:05
@ComFreek because it's harder to cancel that timer - instead I just "call myself" again if needed. – Shadow The GPT Wizard Oct 23 '11 at 12:10
im new in coding could u plz send me fuul code and i'll edit it – Hossam M. Amin Oct 23 '11 at 12:47
This is the full code, if you need someone to do everything for you I fear your only option is to hire a programmer. Good luck to you. – Shadow The GPT Wizard Oct 23 '11 at 12:52
thank you shadow wizard the code worked for me but what if i want to stand still for 2 seconds after video finish then redirect – Hossam M. Amin Oct 23 '11 at 12:57

In such case change the line `document.location = "OtherPage.html";` to be this instead: `window.setTimeout(function() { document.location = "OtherPage.html"; }, 2000);` and it will wait for two seconds before redirecting. – Shadow The GPT Wizard Oct 23 '11 at 13:04
Cheers, glad you were able to use the code properly.. you can mark the answer as the correct by clicking the empty V icon to the left. – Shadow The GPT Wizard Oct 23 '11 at 13:17
