seekTo

Description

Seek in the current content (i.e. change the current position).

The argument can be an object with a single Number property, either:

• relative: seek relatively to the current position

• position: seek to the given absolute position (equivalent to player.getVideoElement().currentTime = newPosition)

• wallClockTime: seek to the given wallClock position, as returned by getWallClockTime.

The argument can also just be a Number property, which will have the same effect than the position property (absolute position).

Seeking should only be done when a content is loaded (i.e. the player isn't in the STOPPED, LOADING or RELOADING state).

The seek operation will start as soon as possible, in almost every cases directly after this method is called.

You will know when the seek is being performed and has been performed respectively by listening to the seeking and seeked player events (see the player events page). While seeking, the RxPlayer might also switch to the SEEKING state.

Syntax

player.seekTo(position);

• arguments:

  1. position Object|number: The position you want to seek to.

Examples

// seeking to 54 seconds from the start of the content
player.seekTo({ position: 54 });

// equivalent to just:
player.seekTo(54);

// seeking 5 seconds after the current position
player.seekTo({ relative: 5 });

// seeking 5 seconds before the current position
player.seekTo({ relative: -5 });

// seeking to live content
player.seekTo({ wallClockTime: Date.now() / 1000 });
