I'm looking to change the video source of my VideoJS player dynamically. I tried one method of changing the source directly via the DOM and it did change it, but the player needs to reload. So looking at the official API here: http://docs.videojs.com/docs/api/player.html#Methodssrc

There's a method to change the source but when running the following code, it throws an error.

    var source = dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value;



	var myVideo = videojs.getPlayers();

	console.log(myVideo);

	if (source == Source2){

		myVideo.src([

			{type: application/x-mpegURL, src: http://mycdn/playlist.m3u8},

			{type: rtmp/mp4, src: rtmp://mycdn}

		]);

	}

Although the console does verify that myVideo is an object, calling the .src(source) function throws TypeError: myVideo.src is not a function. (In 'myVideo.src', 'myVideo.src' is undefined)

I've also found tutorials like this where the apparent more official way is to dispose of the player completely and reinitialize with new sources, but I can't seem to understand what he's doing. https://ineed.coffee/3201/how-to-dynamically-change-video-js-videos-and-captions-with-javascript/

Any help would be appreciated.

Solution:
For testing purposes I just have a nice little drop down and added a click event to that, so it changes the channel to whatever the user wants.

var dropdown = document.getElementById('sel1');

var source = dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value;



dropdown.addEventListener(click, function(){

source = dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value;

console.log(source)



var myVideo = videojs('my-video');

console.log(myVideo);   

if (source == Public Access){

    myVideo.src([

        {type: application/x-mpegURL, src: http://mycdns/playlist.m3u8},

        {type: rtmp/mp4, src: rtmp://mycdn}

    ]);

}

else if (source == Government){

    myVideo.src([

        {type: application/x-mpegURL, src: http://mycdn/playlist.m3u8},

        {type: rtmp/mp4, src: rtmp://mycdn}

    ]);

}

else if (source == Regional){

    myVideo.src([

        {type: application/x-mpegURL, src: http://mycdn/playlist.m3u8},

        {type: rtmp/mp4, src: rtmp://mysource}

    ]);

}

});
