HTMLMediaElement: currentSrc property

{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}

The HTMLMediaElement.currentSrc property contains the absolute URL of the chosen media resource. This could happen, for example, if the web server selects a media file based on the resolution of the user's display. The value is an empty string if the networkState property is EMPTY.

Value

A string containing the absolute URL of the chosen media source; this may be an empty string if networkState is EMPTY; otherwise, it will be one of the resources listed by the {{domxref("HTMLSourceElement")}} contained within the media element, or the value of {{domxref("HTMLMediaElement.src", "src")}} if no {{HTMLElement("source")}} element is provided.

Examples

const obj = document.createElement("video");
console.log(obj.currentSrc); // ""
