I'm working with jPlayer 2.0
I've got it playing, pausing, etc...but how do I grab the elapsed/remaining time attributes from the jquery object? I've tried the event handlers and even provided HTML elements with the default selectors, but none of that appears to work.
Thanks in advance!
I did it this way:
self.update_timer = function (event) {
var status = event.jPlayer.status;
$('.jtimer').text($.jPlayer.convertTime(status.duration - status.currentTime));
};
$('.jplayer')
.jPlayer('setMedia', {
mp3: mp3_link
})
.jPlayer('play')
.bind($.jPlayer.event.timeupdate, self.update_timer);
The important is that timeupdate
event sends status object with duration
and currentTime
properties that contain exactly what you need. The event is fired 4 times per second.
$.jPlayer.convertTime
converts plain seconds (4225) into hours:minutes:seconds (01:10:25).
I don't know exactly if this was available in 2.0, but in jPlayer 2.1.0 that I use this is written in the docs.
