Non youtube video duration display

[deirdre...@gmail.com]

Hi, just wondering if anyone has any pointers on having a timer displaying duration or elapsed time for a video, I'm currently using a countdown timer component as a stopgap but would prefer if I could have something that is reading the video duration rather than me typing it in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

You can try using the getDuration() and getCurrentTime() methods on the youtube player object.

On an event, use this custom action:

var ytp = document.getElementById('gwd-youtube_1');

console.log(ytp.a.getDuration());

console.log(ytp.a.getCurrentTime());

where ytp.a is the minified YouTube player object and the youtube component id is gwd-youtube_1

Hope it helps.
