I'm using the youtube iframe api and can't seem to find anything in the documentation or on google that references how to get the returned values on current media pletion.
I'm needing to build a script where I can past in time variables, in which when the variable matches up with the current time played an event can be triggered.
I know in the embed API there is one, player.getCurrentTime():Number but doesn't seem to be one for the iframe API. I'm sure someone would of noticed this before.

- I'm using the youtube frame api and player.getCurrentTime() is working fine for me... even if I get a console error "player.getCurrentTime is not a function". – httpete Commented Mar 13, 2012 at 16:52
- I couldn't do it at the time due to needing to wait 2 days – Bankzilla Commented Mar 14, 2012 at 0:14

Reset to default 4getCurrentTime is also available in youtube iframe source.
To get current time code, I used a math.floor.
time = Math.floor(Video.YTPlayer.getCurrentTime());
This will always return whole numbers and will constantly round down numbers to its whole.
