Html5 Full screen video

Question

Is there any way to do this? I wan to play video in full screen. Without browser. setting width:100%; height:100%; keep browser visible yet

Answer 1

No, there is no way to do this yet. I wish they add a future like this in browsers.

EDIT:

Now there is a Full Screen API for the web You can requestFullscreen on an Video or Canvas element to ask user to give you permisions and make it full screen.

Let's consider this element:

<video controls id="myvideo">
  <source src="somevideo.webm"></source>
  <source src="somevideo.mp4"></source>
</video>

We can put that video into fullscreen mode with script like this:

var elem = document.getElementById("myvideo");
if (elem.requestFullscreen) {
  elem.requestFullscreen();
} else if (elem.mozRequestFullScreen) {
  elem.mozRequestFullScreen();
} else if (elem.webkitRequestFullscreen) {
  elem.webkitRequestFullscreen();
} else if (elem.msRequestFullscreen) { 
  elem.msRequestFullscreen();
}

From CSS

video {
    position: fixed; right: 0; bottom: 0;
    min-width: 100%; min-height: 100%;
    width: auto; height: auto; z-index: -100;
    background: url(polina.jpg) no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
}

Answer 3

All hail HTML5 _/\_

var videoElement = document.getElementById('videoId');    
videoElement.webkitRequestFullScreen();

Answer 4

Here is a very simple way (3 lines of code) using the Fullscreen API and RequestFullscreen method that I used, which is compatible across all popular browsers:

var elem = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0];
var fullscreen = elem.webkitRequestFullscreen || elem.mozRequestFullScreen || elem.msRequestFullscreen;
fullscreen.call(elem); // bind the 'this' from the video object and instantiate the correct fullscreen method.

For browser compatibility: MDN & Can I use

Answer 5

You can do it with jQuery.

I have my video and controls in their own <div> like this:

<div id="videoPlayer" style="width:520px; -webkit-border-radius:10px; height:420px; background-color:white; position:relative; float:left; left:25px; top:55px;" align="center">

    <video controls width="500" height="400" style="background-color:black; margin-top:10px; -webkit-border-radius:10px;">
         <source src="videos/gin.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
    </video>

    <script>  
        video.removeAttribute('controls');  
    </script> 

    <div id="vidControls" style="position:relative; width:100%; height:50px; background-color:white; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius:10px; -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius:10px; padding-top:10px; padding-bottom:10px;">

         <table width="100%" height="100%" border="0">

             <tr>
                 <td width="100%" align="center" valign="middle" colspan="4"><input class="vidPos" type="range" value="0" step="0.1" style="width:500px;" /></td>
             </tr>

             <tr>
                 <td width="100%" align="center" valign="middle"><a href="javascript:;" class="playVid">Play</a></td>
                 <td width="100%" align="center" valign="middle"><a href="javascript:;" class="vol">Vol</a></td>
                 <td width="100%" align="left" valign="middle"><p class="timer"><strong>0:00</strong> / 0:00</p></td>
                 <td width="100%" align="center" valign="middle"><a href="javascript:;" class="fullScreen">Full</a></td>
              </tr>

            </table>

         </div>

      </div>

And then my jQuery for the .fullscreen class is:

var fullscreen = 0;

$(".fullscreen").click(function(){
  if(fullscreen == 0){
    fullscreen = 1;
    $("video").appendTo('body');
    $("#vidControls").appendTo('body');
    $("video").css('position', 'absolute').css('width', '100%').css('height', '90%').css('margin', 0).css('margin-top', '5%').css('top', '0').css('left', '0').css('float', 'left').css('z-index', 600);
    $("#vidControls").css('position', 'absolute').css('bottom', '5%').css('width', '90%').css('backgroundColor', 'rgba(150, 150, 150, 0.5)').css('float', 'none').css('left', '5%').css('z-index', 700).css('-webkit-border-radius', '10px');

}
else
    {

        fullscreen = 0;

        $("video").appendTo('#videoPlayer');
        $("#vidControls").appendTo('#videoPlayer');

        //change <video> css back to normal

        //change "#vidControls" css back to normal

    }

});

It needs a little cleaning up as I'm still working on it but that should work for most browsers as far as I can see.

Hope it helps!

    if (vi_video[0].exitFullScreen) vi_video[0].exitFullScreen();
    else if (vi_video[0].webkitExitFullScreen) vi_video[0].webkitExitFullScreen();
    else if (vi_video[0].mozExitFullScreen) vi_video[0].mozExitFullScreen();
    else if (vi_video[0].oExitFullScreen) vi_video[0].oExitFullScreen();
    else if (vi_video[0].msExitFullScreen) vi_video[0].msExitFullScreen();

Answer 8

You can use html5 video player which has full screen playback option. This is a very good html5 player to have a look.
