    I came across this code that uses javascript/css/html which is suppose to dynamically change source for embedded videos but it doesn’t work. I have tried it both in a wp-page and html page.

    <html>
	<head>
		<title></title>
		<style media="screen" type="text/css">
.wrap            { margin:30px auto 10px; text-align:center }
.container       { width:440px; height:300px; border:5px solid #ccc }
p                { font: 10px/1.0em 'Helvetica',sans-serif; margin:20px }
		</style>
<script>
$("input[type=button]").click(function() {
    var $target         = "testvid_"+$(this).attr("rel");
    var $content_path   = "https://www.mywebsite.net/videos/";
    var $vid_obj        = _V_("div_video");

    // hide the current loaded poster
    $("img.vjs-poster").hide();

    $vid_obj.ready(function() {
      // hide the video UI
      $("#div_video_html5_api").hide();
      // and stop it from playing
      $vid_obj.pause();
      // assign the targeted videos to the source nodes
      $("video:nth-child(1)").attr("src",$content_path+$target+".mp4");
      $("video:nth-child(1)").attr("src",$content_path+$target+".ogv");
      $("video:nth-child(1)").attr("src",$content_path+$target+".webm");
      // replace the poster source
      $("img.vjs-poster").attr("src",$content_path+$target+".png").show();
      // reset the UI states
      $(".vjs-big-play-button").show();
      $("#div_video").removeClass("vjs-playing").addClass("vjs-paused");
      // load the new sources
      $vid_obj.load();
      $("#div_video_html5_api").show();
    });
});

$("input[rel='01']").click();
</script>	</head>

<body>
		<section class="container wrap">
  <video id="div_video" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls preload="auto" width="440" height="300" poster="https://www.mywebsite.net/videos/testvid_01.png" data-

setup="{}">
    <source src=""  type="video/mp4">
    <source src=""  type="video/ogg">
    <source src=""  type="video/webm">
  </video>
</section>

<div class="wrap">
  <input rel="01" type="button" value="load video 1">
  <input rel="02" type="button" value="load video 2">
  <input rel="03" type="button" value="load video 3">
</div>

	</body>
</html>

    I used file names:
    testvid_01.mp4, testvid_01.ogv, testvid_01.webm
    testvid_02.mp4, testvid_02.ogv, testvid_02.webm
    testvid_03.mp4, testvid_03.ogv, testvid_03.webm
    testvid_01.png, testvid_02.png, testvid_03.png

    it loads the player and the 01.png image, but clicking on the link does nothing.

    The correct answer is…
    When In Add Media, using either the single file uploader or the multi-file uploader, whichever you click on when the window popup opens to browse, just put the image URL in the file name space.

    That might work if I wanted the source to serve the image. Which I DO NOT! I want the image to be part of my media library, cached on my server.

    Honestly this is such a basic task, there has to be a plugin to add this feature?
