My objective is redirect viewer to a web page upon the completion of a stream.

I have read several posts regarding redirect upon completion of a playlist.

Is this possible? Can you point me to some sample code?

Thanks,

Are you looking for code to detect the end of a live stream or a VOD streamed using RTMP or HTTP?

Thanks for the reply hobbs.

It is actually a simulated live stream. In other words, a prerecorded video that is being streamed as a live stream at a specific time.

Anyway, I found that the following code worked perfectly for anyone else who is searching for a similar solution.



<script type="text/javascript">
var player = null;
function playerReady(obj)
{
player = gid(obj.id);
addListeners();
};


function addListeners()
{
player.addModelListener('STATE', 'stateMonitor');
};


function stateMonitor(obj)
{
if(obj.newstate == 'COMPLETED')
{
// drop out of fullscreen
// this.window.focus();

// load a new page
window.location = 'http://www.google.com';
}
};


function gid(name)
{
return document.getElementById(name);
};
</script>
