Video.js changing source, but does not show new source

Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this topic

I have a script that changes the source of the video player. And it does just that. The only problem is that the Video.js player plays the first source assigned to it.

document.getElementById("vid-player_html5_api").innerHTML = "";

document.getElementById("vid-player_html5_api").innerHTML = "<source src='" + link + "' type='video/mp4'>";
document.getElementById("vid-player_html5_api").muted = false;

So if there were two buttons, and you clicked Button 1 it would change the source of the player and show the correct video. Then lets say you clicked Button 2 it would change the source of the player, but it would still show the same video it showed for Button 1

It is proven that it changes the source, I checked the Chrome Dev tools and surely enough it changed the source

How do I fix this?

Answer

You can try as below,

function playVideo(videoSource, type) {
  var videoElm = document.getElementById('testVideo');
  var videoSourceElm = document.getElementById('testVideoSource'); 
   if (!videoElm.paused) {
        videoElm.pause();
     }
    
   videoSourceElm.src = videoSource;
   videoSourceElm.type = type;
  
    videoElm.load();
    videoElm.play();
  }

<video id="testVideo" width="400" controls>
  <source id="testVideoSource">
</video>

<input type="button" value="Play Video 1" onclick="playVideo('http://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4', 'video/mp4')" />
<input type="button" value="Play Video 2" onclick="playVideo('http://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.ogg', 'video/ogg')" />
