HtmlHtml5 VideoHtml Problem Overview
How do you detect when a HTML5 <video> element has finished playing?
Html Solutions
Solution 1 - Html
You can add an event listener with 'ended' as first param
Like this :
<video src="video.ogv" id="myVideo">
video not supported
</video>
<script type='text/javascript'>
document.getElementById('myVideo').addEventListener('ended',myHandler,false);
function myHandler(e) {
// What you want to do after the event
}
</script>
Solution 2 - Html
Have a look at this Everything You Need to Know About HTML5 Video and Audio post at the Opera Dev site under the "I want to roll my own controls" section.
This is the pertinent section:
<video src="video.ogv">
video not supported
</video>
then you can use:
<script>
var video = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0];
video.onended = function(e) {
/*Do things here!*/
};
</script>
onended is a HTML5 standard event on all media elements, see the HTML5 media element (video/audio) events documentation.

Solution 4 - Html
You can simply add onended="myFunction()" to your video tag.
<video onended="myFunction()">
...
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function myFunction(){
console.log("The End.")
}
</script>
Solution 5 - Html
Here is a simple approach which triggers when the video ends.
<html>
<body>
<video id="myVideo" controls="controls">
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
etc ...
</video>
</body>
<script type='text/javascript'>
document.getElementById('myVideo').addEventListener('ended', function(e) {
alert('The End');
})
</script>
</html>
In the 'EventListener' line substitute the word 'ended' with 'pause' or 'play' to capture those events as well.

Here is a full example, I hope it helps =).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<video id="myVideo" controls="controls">
<source src="your_video_file.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="your_video_file.mp4" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
<script type='text/javascript'>
document.getElementById('myVideo').addEventListener('ended',myHandler,false);
function myHandler(e) {
if(!e) { e = window.event; }
alert("Video Finished");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Solution 7 - Html
You can add listener all video events nicluding ended, loadedmetadata, timeupdate where ended function gets called when video ends
$("#myVideo").on("ended", function() {
//TO DO: Your code goes here...
alert("Video Finished");
});
$("#myVideo").on("loadedmetadata", function() {
alert("Video loaded");
this.currentTime = 50;//50 seconds
//TO DO: Your code goes here...
});
$("#myVideo").on("timeupdate", function() {
var cTime=this.currentTime;
if(cTime>0 && cTime % 2 == 0)//Alerts every 2 minutes once
alert("Video played "+cTime+" minutes");
//TO DO: Your code goes here...
var perc=cTime * 100 / this.duration;
if(perc % 10 == 0)//Alerts when every 10% watched
alert("Video played "+ perc +"%");
});
