How do you get the jsmpeg player out of the canvas to use the API?

[mmeyers-solartech]

I am creating a video player like this, and it works great:

var canvas = document.getElementById('video-canvas'); var url = ''; var player = new JSMpeg.Player(url, {canvas: canvas});

Now I'm trying to add a button to perform play/pause actions. How do I get the JSMpeg player out of the canvas so I can use the API?

document.getElementById("video-canvas")...? It should exist somewhere but I'm having difficult getting it out.

Thank you

Issue closed, added event listener on button in same method where player is created for direct access

var pause = document.getElementById('pauseButton') pause.addEventListener('click', function() { console.log('Pause in create video hit'); player.destroy(); document.getElementById('pauseButton').textContent = 'Play'; });
