[FIXED] How do I stop Audio/Video playback in a Modal with jQuery?

Issue

I've been trying to figure out how to stop the audio from playing after closing a modal, and nothing seems to work.

My attempt

<script>
var docReadyCodeForModal = setInterval(function() {
    if(jQuery) {
        clearInterval(docReadyCodeForModal);
       $("#myModal").modal('show');
       $("#stopClose").click(function(){
           $("#myModal").modal('pause');
    });
    }
}, 100);
</script>

<div aria-hidden="true" class="fade modal" id="myModal" style="display:none">
<div class="modal-lg modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title" style="text-align:center">WELCOME TO THE THUNDERDOME!!!</h5>
<button id="stopClose" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" type="button">&times;</button></div>

<div class="modal-body">
<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9"><iframe class="embed-responsive-item video-not-resize" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yGwjyodRst4?autoplay=1" title="YouTube video player"></iframe></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Note: video link removed for privacy reasons.

I appreciate any insight into this issue

Solution

Script to stop the video from playing when closing modal

Add an id to your iframe and replace #iframe-id with that id.

$(document).ready(function(){

        var url = $("#iframe-id").attr('src');
            
        $("#myModal").on('hide.bs.modal', function(){
            $("#iframe-id").attr('src', '');
        });
            
        $("#myModal").on('show.bs.modal', function(){
            $("#iframe-id").attr('src', url);
        });

});

You are using Bootstrap. This script listens to the Bootstrap events when hiding and showing the modal.

It removes the url from the iframe src attribute when closing modal and adds the url when the modal its opened.
