JW Flv Player Error handling

Question

Hi,

How can I make a trigger that runs if JW Player returns any error.

for example, when jw player says "video not found", i want to run a ajax function.

There are a few steps here, but the process is basically as follows:

• Wait for the player to be ready
• Add an error event listener with a callback function
• Your callback function will be triggered when an error occurs.

The code for that looks something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var player;

    function playerReady(obj) {
    player = document.getElementById(obj['id']);
        player.addModelListener('ERROR', errorHandler);
    };

    function errorHandler(evt){
        //Your Code Here
    }
</script>

You should check out the documentation for more information on events you can listen for and adding event listeners.

Best,
