If you never reset the interval and have multiple videos to play, your application will probably crash soon!
Hey, thanks for this, saved me!
I didn't notice at first (just thought I would point out to others) but the method applies to the video element itself rather than a container element (e.g. div / section) which you can use videoContainer.webkitRequestFullscreen() for, for browsers other than on iPad e.g. desktop Chrome.
Just ran across this and it's almost perfect for what I'm needing. ;)
Can someone give me a hint on how to duplicate the buttons? I'd like to put multiple buttons on the page, all pointing toward different streams.
It is working very well & helped me to implement the same effect in all the devices 🙂 👍
