getMaximumPosition

Description

Returns the maximum seekable player position. Returns null if no content is currently loaded.

This is useful for live contents, where this position might be updated continously as new content is generated. This method allows thus to seek directly at the live edge of the content.

Please bear in mind that seeking exactly at the maximum position is rarely a good idea:

• for VoD contents, the playback will end
• for live contents, the player will then need to wait until it can build enough buffer.

As such, we advise to remove a few seconds from that position when seeking.

Syntax

const maximumPosition = player.getMaximumPosition();

• return value number|null: Maximum seekable position. null if no content is currently loaded.

Example

// seeking 5 seconds before the end (or the live edge for live contents)
player.seekTo({
  position: player.getMaximumPosition() - 5,
});
