Sorry about that, I have now added a reference to your original code.

Hi @FedericoTartarini ,
Thanks for the code!
I would like to know if you have managed to add controls to the video ( play/stop buttons ) I have been trying many solutions but have no clue!
Best

No sorry I am not sure how to add those controls

Thanks for your answer
