html5 video currenttime,javascript - Issue setting currentTime in HTML5 video - Stack Overflow

I have a video in the middle of my html. As you can see at first I haven't any source

When I click a button I trigger a function that makes:

myVid = document.getElementById('videoPrincipal');

myVid.src = 'video.mp4';

myVid.play();

myVid.currentTime ='5';

The video starts playing correctly but I cant set the current time (and I made the same as we can see in http://www.w3schools.com/tags/av_prop_currenttime.asp)

It gives me the same error if I set the currentTime before calling the play function.

The error that shows me in the console is the following: "Uncaught InvalidStateError: An attempt was made to use an object that is not, or is no longer, usable." (in the currentTime line) but when i search this problem I cant associate with video, only with canvas.

Thanks in advance
