Jquery tubular load multiple instances

Question

I'd like to launch a second tubular instance an x ammount of seconds after the first one is playing.

I'm using 2 div's to attach the player to

<div id="player1"></div>
<div id="player2"></div>

I have 2 scripts that launch tubular.

var options = { 
            videoId: ytid, 
            start: diffInSeconds, 
            mute: false, 
            width: $(window).width(), 
            height:$(window).height(),
            playercount: 1
            };

$('#player' + options.playercount).tubular(options);

It succesfully launches the first tubular instance. When the second instance playercount: 2 should launch it only appends the tubular containers and shield, not the iframe.

I've added console logs to monitor whether the instances are getting loaded.

Here's a link to the jquery.rhtv.init.js (this calls the tubular function).

And here's a link to the modified tubular JS:

How can I manage to get the youtube iframe loaded in the second instance (and further on), The end result should be a non-stop playing stream of youtube video's. Where for every video that has been started a 'now playing' div should appear (like in the jquery.rhtv.init.js)

Thank you in Advance!

Answer 1

The problem you are experiencing is due to how you are initializing tubular. If you wish for both players to use the same options, you'll want to add a class to the players and initialize tubular using that class name. For this example, let's add the class name tubular-player to our containers and initialize tubular for each class that is present.

HTML

<div id="player1" class="tubular-player"></div>
<div id="player2" class="tubular-player"></div>

JavaScript

$('.tubular-player').tubular(options);

Answer 2

Tubular library does not support the reloading of a different video by default. I have made some tweaks so that it can be done.

Following is the working jsfiddle link:

*Edits

Following library now supports videoFinshed callback and multiple calls to tubular

http://jsfiddle.net/j1t9zwx6/3/

There are movie trailers playing back to back.

Sample usage to load videos back to back

$(function () {
    var videoArr = ["InqU8CLwbPg", "owgrkAQ-Log", "UgBWSPD6MUU"];
    var vidI = 0;

    try {
        $('#wrapper').tubular({
            videoId: videoArr[vidI], 
            mute: false,
            videoFinished: function (state, player) {
                vidI++;
                vidI %= videoArr.length;
                var nextVideo = videoArr[vidI];/* it can directly be loaded from server */
                player.loadVideoById(nextVideo);
            }
        });
    } catch(e) {
    }
});
