Comment: updated link to standard media events

Currently, all known HTML5 media events are supported. For a list of these events, see the following link: Media-Events (www.w3.org).

In addition, the following events are supported:


chapterclicked

The "chapterclicked" event triggers as soon as the user clicks one of the video's chapters. The event object will include the start time and title of the chapter that was clicked. You can use this event to evaluate, for example, the popularity of chapters through an external analytics tool.

Code Block
languagetext
Player.registerEventListener('chapterclicked', function(event) {console.log(event);});


Sample of Returned Event Object

Code Block
languagetext
Event {
	isTrusted: false, 
	detail: {
		startTime: 5.682, 
		title: "New chapter"
	},
	timeStamp: 36964.565,
	type: "chapterclicked"
}
ParameterDescription
isTrustedreturns true when the event is generated by a user action
startTimetime in seconds when the chapter starts
titletitle of the chapter
timeStamp

the time elapsed from the beginning of the current document's lifetime to when the event was created (in milliseconds)

typereturns the name of the event: "chapterclicked"
Info

Note that the "isTrusted" value is false in this event. This is because the event is technically created by a script rather than a user action.

lightadstarted

The "lightadstarted" event triggers at the moment a light ad begins playing. Light ads are set up using VideoManager Pro's Ad Overlays feature.

Code Block
languagetext
Player.registerEventListener('lightadstarted', function(event) {console.log(event);});
