Example Code:

      
        <video
          id="player"
          controls
          muted
          autoplay
          class="cld-video-player"
          width="500"
        ></video>
        <div class="error-container"></div>
      
      

        player = cloudinary.videoPlayer('player', {
          cloud_name: 'demo_err',
          publicId: 'snow_horses',
        });

        // Add a custom error handler on 'error' event
        player.on('error', (e) => {
          const error = e.Player.videojs.error(); // Get current error

          // Custom error code should be > 99, smaller values might already be used by the player.
          const customErrorCode = 999;

          // Replace current error message with your custom error message
          if (error && error.code !== customErrorCode) {
            errorContainerText = `Error: ${error.statusCode}, ${error.message}`;

            // Set text under the video player
            let errorContainer = document.querySelector('.error-container');
            errorContainer.innerHTML = errorContainerText;
            errorContainer.style.color = 'red';

            // Set video player custom error message
            player.videojs.error(null); // Stop default error handling
            player.videojs.error({code: customErrorCode, message: "My custom error message"}); // Set error
          }
        });
