Player Javascript API

Hi, there!
VideoPress provides an API to interact with the player quite powerful. However, we haven’t published the document about it yet. Something that we do want to do in the short term.

I can’t see anything with a quick search.

Sorry about that. Let me ask how and when we can publish the doc.

Hi @retrofox that is great news. I have just paid for the premium plan and looking to play as i’d rather use this service than Vimeo or Youtube. As I said pretty simple what I want to use it for.

Also can the 1TB limit be extended or is that another question for sales?

I can see I can listen to postMessages from the iFrame which is great. Ideally I would love to know what time a video was paused at. If this is available in the API then that would be great.

Hi @clarkstudios,

Also can the 1TB limit be extended or is that another question for sales?

We have plans to add functionality that allows you to get more storage as needed but we’re currently only doing that on demand.

If you find that you need more than 1TB, feel free to reach out to us directly via this contact form and mention this thread, and we’ll discuss options.

Regarding the API documentation and the other related questions, @retrofox will be in touch with a reply soon.

Thanks.

Ideally I would love to know what time a video was paused at. If this is available in the API then that would be great.

I’m not sure if it’s doable in the same event. It seems that pause doesn’t provide the timestamp. In this case, you can get the time when the video is playing listening the timeupdate event.

Hi there,

It has been more than one week since we have heard from you, so I’m marking this topic as resolved.

But if you have any further questions or need some more help, you’re welcome to reply here or open another thread.
