How to close Video overlay when video is finished?

according to the documentation you can programmatically close the overlay with the scripting api close()

but how to close when video ends?

[brandonrunyon]

is the video an HTML5 video tag or a flash object? If you are using the HTML5 standard video tag, then you can get at the duration of the video via the duration property in javascript, otherwise you may be able to get at the duration of a flash video using the swfobject.js library. You can write your own event to observe the duration of the video and then when it's the same as the final duration you would just trigger the overlay to close with close()

this person seemed to have accurately gathered the duration of a flash video using the youtube javascript api v3 and swfobject.js http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2086260/youtube-player-api-how-to-get-duration-of-a-loaded-cued-video-without-playing-i

If this is a video you host yourself, then you'd probably have to feed that information to your code.
