i have this code that plays a video from a link provided. now i want to create a button that on click it will change the link of the video player; and play the other link provided in the button actions.
this is how i play the video:

IEnumerator playVideo()
            {
                videoPlayer = gameObject.AddComponent<VideoPlayer>();
                audioSource = gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>();
                videoPlayer.playOnAwake = false;
                audioSource.playOnAwake = false;
                audioSource.Pause();
                videoPlayer.source = VideoSource.Url;
                videoPlayer.url = "http://www.funnymasti.com/data/21955.html";
                videoPlayer.audioOutputMode = VideoAudioOutputMode.AudioSource;
                videoPlayer.EnableAudioTrack(0, true);
                videoPlayer.SetTargetAudioSource(0, audioSource);
                videoPlayer.Prepare();
                while (!videoPlayer.isPrepared)
                {
                    yield return null;
                }
                Debug.Log("Done Preparing Video");
                try
                {
                    image.texture = videoPlayer.texture;
                }
                catch (System.Exception e)
                {
                    Debug.Log(e.Message);
                }
                videoPlayer.Play();
                audioSource.Play();
            }

and the button event on click: (i need help here)

public void Button_Click()
        {
    stop current video playing
           change video url ( videoPlayer.url = another link)
    refresh video player to show new video
    play new video
    }

thanks for the help

One cannot just change the video like that, but you will have to call a coroutine again. Read about coroutines. You have all the code there, just need to bake it:
I can tell you the process:

  1. On the button click you will have to trigger a coroutine which is a smiliar function as the Ienumerator you have written
  2. Same code goes in the Ienumerator except the URL

Maybe you can be a little smart by passing the URL in the ienumerator.

Cheers!

thanks for the help @iamvideep_1 . i tried what you told me. the video plays well when i hit the button but the image stays the previous video going on. so i have the second video’s sound and the first video image

 public void Button_Click()
    {
        StartCoroutine(playVideo2());
    }
    void Start()
    {
        Application.runInBackground = true;
        StartCoroutine(playVideo());
    }

    IEnumerator playVideo()
    {
        videoPlayer = gameObject.AddComponent<VideoPlayer>();
        audioSource = gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>();
        videoPlayer.playOnAwake = false;
        audioSource.playOnAwake = false;
        audioSource.Pause();
        videoPlayer.source = VideoSource.Url;
        videoPlayer.url = "http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4";
        videoPlayer.audioOutputMode = VideoAudioOutputMode.AudioSource;
        videoPlayer.EnableAudioTrack(0, true);
        videoPlayer.SetTargetAudioSource(0, audioSource);
        videoPlayer.Prepare();
        while (!videoPlayer.isPrepared)
        {
            yield return null;
        }
        Debug.Log("Done Preparing Video");
        try
        {
            image.texture = videoPlayer.texture;
        }
        catch (System.Exception e)
        {
            Debug.Log(e.Message);
        }
        videoPlayer.Play();
        audioSource.Play();
    }
    IEnumerator playVideo2()
    {
        videoPlayer = gameObject.AddComponent<VideoPlayer>();
        audioSource = gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>();
        videoPlayer.playOnAwake = false;
        audioSource.playOnAwake = false;
        audioSource.Pause();
        videoPlayer.source = VideoSource.Url;
        videoPlayer.url = "http://www.funnymasti.com/data/21955.html";
        videoPlayer.audioOutputMode = VideoAudioOutputMode.AudioSource;
        videoPlayer.EnableAudioTrack(0, true);
        videoPlayer.SetTargetAudioSource(0, audioSource);
        videoPlayer.Prepare();
        while (!videoPlayer.isPrepared)
        {
            yield return null;
        }
        Debug.Log("Done Preparing Video");
        try
        {
            image.texture = videoPlayer.texture;
        }
        catch (System.Exception e)
        {
            Debug.Log(e.Message);
        }
        videoPlayer.Play();
        audioSource.Play();
    }

Just a guess, but you probably need to stop the first coroutine before kicking off the second.

The StartCoroutine() call returns a Coroutine object, and then you can use it to StopCoroutine() before starting the other one.

Oop, belay that… I see that the actual Play call is the final thing in the coroutine, so my suggestion is probably not helpful.
