How to use vid.onended to detect when a video is done playing using javascript

I am trying to create an HTML video playlist and currently I am using vid.onended to detect when a video is done playing (based of the current video src) and then play the next video when the video ends. This works perfectly for the first video but for some reason it never plays the second video and jumps straight to the third video.
My code:
//add video playlist functionality to auto play next video based on id
var vid = document.getElementById("urlVideo");
vid.onended = function() {
var video0 = "http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4";
var video1 = "https://media.w3.org/2010/05/sintel/trailer.mp4";
var video2 = "http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/ForBiggerBlazes.mp4"
if (vid.src = video0) {
vid.src = video1;
}
if (vid.src = video1) {
vid.src = video2;
}
};
<video id="urlVideo" width="100%" height="460" controls autoplay>
<source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
What am I doing wrong?
Edit:
Answer by Alen Toma works perfectly.
I Also managed to do it according to the current video source based on a comment by Quentin, For anyone else looking for how to do it explicitly with the current video source as the variable/condition, please see
https://jsfiddle.net/redlaw/qjb5h7e9/9/

I did make a small example below, it should help.
Have a look at this JSFiddle.
//add video playlist functionality to auto play next video based on id
var videoSrc = [
"https://media.w3.org/2010/05/sintel/trailer.mp4",
"http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/ForBiggerBlazes.mp4"
]
var vid = document.getElementById("urlVideo");
var index = 0;
vid.addEventListener("ended", function() {
var currentSrc = videoSrc[index];
index += 1;
if (index >= videoSrc.length)
index = 0; // Make Loop and jump to the first video
vid.src = currentSrc;
vid.play();
console.log(currentSrc)
}, true);
<video id="urlVideo" controls autoplay>
<source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

you must use an event listener for your video player like this code:
var vid = document.getElementById("urlVideo");
vid.addEventListener("ended", function() { /* your code*/ }, true);

Javascript onended is detecting the end of the video

Everything in my code works. It just doesn't switch to the next song/video after finishing the current one. I have tried adding an onended event handler (in the tag and in JavaScript) but failed. I also tried jQuery but it did't work. For some reasons it doesn't change songs at the end of the song. Instead, it will replay the same song over and over again.
<video id="vid" src="main/" playsinline autoplay loop>
<script>
var video = document.currentScript.parentElement;
video.volume = 0.1;
var lastSong = null;
var selection = null;
var playlist = ["main/songn.mp4", "main/songl.mp4", "/main/songt.mp4", "/main/songf.mp4"]; // List of Songs
var video = document.getElementById("vid");
video.autoplay=true;
video.addEventListener("ended", selectRandom);
function selectRandom(){
while(selection == lastSong){
selection = Math.floor(Math.random() * playlist.length);
}
lastSong = selection;
video.src = playlist[selection];
}
selectRandom();
video.play();
</script>
</video>

You just need to remove the loop parameter from the video tag if you want to trigger the end event (doc):
<video id="vid" src="main/" playsinline autoplay>
(Your code will handle the loop by loading a new song when one ended.)
BTW, keep var video = document.getElementById("vid"); to refer to your <video> tag, it's shorter and cleaner than the first declaration.

Is it possible to embed actions in html5 video?

Is there any way to play a video in html5, stop and execute javascript at known points within the video?

Yes, try this. You have to use the currentTime property. Start with that and start your javascript functions from there. Is that what you're looking for?
var vid = document.getElementById("video");
//Add a timeupdate listener
video.addEventListener("timeupdate", function(){
//Check for video properties from within the function
if (this.currentTime == 5)
this.pause();
//cal javascript
}
}

Looking at the accepted answer over here it looks like it is possible.
To pause the video you just do this:
var mediaElement = document.getElementById("video"); // create a reference to your HTML5 video
mediaElement.pause(); // pauses the video
If you want to play the video, do this:
mediaElement.play(); // plays the video
To get the current time in the video, do this:
mediaElement.currentTime; // gets the current time
Here's an example linking them all up:
var mediaElement = document.getElementById("video");
if(mediaElement.currentTime == 35){
mediaElement.pause();
// do whatever else you would like
mediaElement.play();
}
The MDL documentation is here, there are plenty of other properties you might find helpful.
Hope this helps!

Yes, by doing like this you can.
Note that you have to look for a time using bigger than > bigger than (as the chance to match an exact millisecond is almost zero), and have a variable in one way or the other to know which ones is done.
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
var cur = document.querySelector('#cur'),
vid = document.querySelector('#vid')
})
var appDone = {"done7":false,"done4":false}
vid.addEventListener('timeupdate', function(e) {
if (e.target.currentTime > 7 && !appDone.done7) {
appDone.done7 = true;
e.target.pause();
//do something
cur.textContent += ", " + "done7 once";
e.target.play();
}
if (e.target.currentTime > 4 && !appDone.done4) {
appDone.done4 = true;
e.target.pause();
//do something
cur.textContent += ", " + "done4 once";
e.target.play();
}
})
<video id="vid" width="320" height="176" controls>

Request Full Screen HTML5 Video onPlay

I'm using the following code to trigger fullscreen when a user clicks on the play button on a <video> element:
var video = $("#video");
video.on('play', function(e){
if (video.requestFullscreen) {
video.requestFullscreen();
} else if (video.mozRequestFullScreen) {
video.mozRequestFullScreen();
} else if (video.webkitRequestFullscreen) {
video.webkitRequestFullscreen();
}
});
But nothing happens when I click the play button.
Any idea's why?
EDIT: Here's my HTML code:
<video width="458" height="258" controls id='video' >
<source src='<?= bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/inc/pilot.mp4' type="video/mp4">
<source src='<?= bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/inc/pilot.ogv' type="video/ogg">
<source src='<?= bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/inc/pilot.webm' type="video/webm">
</video>

There are a couple things going on here:
First, in your code, video is a jQuery object, not the actual video element. For a jQuery object, you can reference it like this:
var actualVideo = video[0]; // (assuming '#video' actually exists)
Second, for security and good user experience, browsers will only let you trigger full screen inside a user-triggered event, like a 'click'. You can't have every web page going to full screen as soon as you visit it, and you can cause a video to start playing automatically, which would violate that rule.
So an alternative solution would be to request fullscreen in a click event, like this:
var video = $("#video");
video.on('click', function(e){
var vid = video[0];
vid.play();
if (vid.requestFullscreen) {
vid.requestFullscreen();
} else if (vid.mozRequestFullScreen) {
vid.mozRequestFullScreen();
} else if (vid.webkitRequestFullscreen) {
vid.webkitRequestFullscreen();
}
});
Ideally, you'd probably want to build out a more complete player ui, but this should give you the general idea.

A less verbose way to toggle full screen combining answers from this and other questions.
This should handle all browser flavours: chromium- and webkit-based, firefox, opera, and MS-based browsers.
var p = document.querySelector('#videoplayer');
if (!window.isFs) {
window.isFs = true;
var fn_enter = p.requestFullscreen || p.webkitRequestFullscreen || p.mozRequestFullScreen || p.oRequestFullscreen || p.msRequestFullscreen;
fn_enter.call(p);
} else {
window.isFs = false;
var fn_exit = p.exitFullScreen || p.webkitExitFullScreen || p.mozExitFullScreen || p.oExitFullScreen || p.msExitFullScreen;
fn_exit.call(p);
}
p represents the DOM object of the video element, and window.isFs is just a random variable for storing the current fullscreen state.
If your player is a jQuery object then you can get the underlying DOM-element with var p = player.get(0).

Adding audio to click event

I want to add a sound clip to a button on a game I am creating. Currently It doesn't do anything and I don't know why.
At the moment In the script I have...
var audio = $(".mysoundclip")[0];
$(".minibutton").onclick(function() {
audio.play();
});
In the HTML I have...
<audio id="mysoundclip" preload="auto">
<source src="http://www.wav-sounds.com/cartoon/bugsbunny1.wav"></source>
</audio>
Then I have CSS for .minibutton.
Any ideas why it won't work?

Your jQuery had some simple errors in it.
HTML
<audio id="mysoundclip" preload="auto">
<source src="http://www.wav-sounds.com/cartoon/bugsbunny1.wav"></source>
</audio>
<button type="button">play</button>
jQuery
var audio = $("#mysoundclip")[0];
$("button").click(function() {
audio.play();
});​

Maybe I'm a too suspicous.. but
http://www.sound-effect.com/sounds1/animal/Saf/Tiger1.wav "The requested URL was not found on this server"
If that's just a typo, you should also try to figure out which audio types a browser is capable to play:
myApp.htmlAudio = (function _htmlAudioCheck() {
var elem = document.createElement('audio'),
bool = false;
try {
if( !!elem.canPlayType ) {
bool = new Boolean(bool);
bool.ogg = elem.canPlayType('audio/ogg; codecs="vorbis"');
bool.mp3 = elem.canPlayType('audio/mpeg;');
bool.wav = elem.canPlayType('audio/wav; codecs="1"');
bool.m4a = ( elem.canPlayType('audio/x-m4a;') || elem.canPlayType('audio/aac;'));
}
} catch(e) { }
return bool;
}());
Now we can check like
if( myApp.htmlAudio && myApp.htmlAudio.wav ) {
}
if the browser is able to playback .wav files for instance.
However, I never saw a nested source element for audio elements. That should be named track if anything. But you don't really need that here, you can just have a src attribute on the audio element itself. Example: http://jsfiddle.net/5GUPg/1/
