getMaximumPosition
Description
Returns the maximum seekable player position in seconds on the current loaded media.
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.
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.
Note that this is potentially different from the live position returned by
getLivePosition, which is the method to call to know
which media position is intented to correspond to live content.
Syntax
const maximumPosition = player.getMaximumPosition();
- return value
number|null: Maximum seekable position.nullif no content is currently loaded.
Example
// seeking 5 seconds before the last available position
player.seekTo({
position: player.getMaximumPosition() - 5,
});
