I've been messing with video.js whilst learning javascript but can't seem to figure out how to make the video pause after a certain time has passed.

myPlayer.play(function(){
    whereYouAt = myPlayer.currentTime();
    if (whereYouAt == 10) {
        myPlayer.pause();
    }
})

That is my pause code.

• javascript
• video.js

• I think you need to wrap that in a setInterval() in order to check the time more often – Jonas Grumann Commented Feb 18, 2015 at 17:45

1 Answer 1

Check the currentTime in the timeupdate event callback:

var pausetime = 2; // stop at 2 seconds

var myPlayer = videojs('example_video_1');

myPlayer.on('timeupdate', function(e) {
    if (myPlayer.currentTime() >= pausetime) {
        myPlayer.pause();
    }
});

myPlayer.play();
