Finally.


Example Code:

      HTML:

      <video
        id="example-player"
        controls
        muted
        autoplay
        class="cld-video-player cld-video-player-skin-dark"
        data-cld-transformation='{ "width": 500, "crop": "limit" }'>
      </video>

      <button id="play-prev" class="btn btn-default">Prev</button>
      <button id="play-next" class="btn btn-default">Next</button>

      <div id="source-data">
        <span id="public-id-placeholder"></span><br>
        <span id="source-url-placeholder"></span>
      </div>


      JavaScript:

      var cld = cloudinary.Cloudinary.new({ cloud_name: 'miki-cloudinary' });

      // Define playlist sources
      var source1 = { publicId: 'oceans', info: { title: 'Oceans', subtitle: 'A movie about oceans' } };
      var source2 = { publicId: 'book', info: { title: 'Cloud Book Study', subtitle: 'A short video with a nice book animation' } };
      var source3 = { publicId: 'negative', info: { title: 'Negative' } };

      // Initialize player
      var player = cld.videoPlayer('example-player');

      // Auto advance to next video after 0 seconds, repeat the playlist when final video ends, and present upcoming video 5 seconds before the current video ends.
      player.playlist([source1, source2], { autoAdvance: true, repeat: true, presentUpcoming: 8 });

      function updateSource() {
        var divElem = document.querySelector("div#source-data");

        publicIdElem = divElem.querySelector("#public-id-placeholder");
        sourceUrlElem = divElem.querySelector("#source-url-placeholder");

        publicIdElem.innerText = "Public Id: " + player.currentPublicId();
        sourceUrlElem.innerText = "Source URL: " + player.currentSourceUrl();

        console.log(sourceUrlElem.innerText);
        divElem.style.display = 'block';
      };

      player.on('sourcechanged', updateSource);

      document.querySelector("button#play-prev").addEventListener("click", function() {
        player.playPrevious();
      });

      document.querySelector("button#play-next").addEventListener("click", function() {
        player.playNext();
      });
