Answer 1

You can modify this code with an iteration

/**
 * Stop an iframe or HTML5 <video> from playing
 * @param  {Element} element The element that contains the video
 */
var stopVideo = function ( element ) {
    var iframe = element.querySelector( 'iframe');
    var video = element.querySelector( 'video' );
    if ( iframe ) {
        var iframeSrc = iframe.src;
        iframe.src = iframeSrc;
    }
    if ( video ) {
        video.pause();
    }
};

Answer 2

Reloading all iframes just to stop them is a terrible idea. You should get advantage what comes with HTML5.

Without using YouTube's iframe_API library; you can simply use:

var stopAllYouTubeVideos = () => { 
  var iframes = document.querySelectorAll('iframe');
  Array.prototype.forEach.call(iframes, iframe => { 
    iframe.contentWindow.postMessage(JSON.stringify({ event: 'command', 
  func: 'stopVideo' }), '*');
 });
}
stopAllYouTubeVideos();

which will stop all youtubes iframe videos.

You can use these message keywords to start/stop/pause youtube embdded videos:

stopVideo
playVideo
pauseVideo

Try this way,

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
    $('.close').click(function(){      
        $('iframe').attr('src', $('iframe').attr('src'));
    });
});
</script>

Stopping means pausing and setting the video to time 0:

        $('iframe').contents().find('video').each(function () 
        {
            this.currentTime = 0;
            this.pause();
        });

This jquery code will do exactly that.

No need to replace the src attribute and reload the video again.

Little function that I am using in my project:

    function pauseAllVideos() 
    { 
        $('iframe').contents().find('video').each(function () 
        {
            this.pause();
        });
        $('video').each(function () 
        {
            this.pause();
        });
    }

Answer 5

I edited the above code a little and the following worked for me.......

<script>
function stop(){<br/>
       var iframe = document.getElementById('myvid');<br/>
     var iframe1 = document.getElementById('myvid1');<br/>
      var iframe2 = document.getElementById('myvid2');<br/>
    iframe.src = iframe.src;<br/>
    iframe1.src=iframe1.src;<br/>
    iframe2.src=iframe2.src;<br/>
}<br/>

</script>

Reload all iframes again to stop videos

<a href="#" class="close" onclick="stop();">Stop all videos</a>

function stop(){
    var iframe = document.getElementById('youriframe');
    iframe.src = iframe.src;
}
