    text
    copied!<p>I'm writing a jQuery plugin for the video tag on the ipad. One of the things my plugin does is resumes playing a movie where you last quit watching it. I'm having issues setting current time. I've found I can only set it after the "<code>stalled</code>" event has fired. The stalled seems to fire on an ipad after a movie starts playing (this is an HTTP live stream video). I don't see this event in other environments i.e. google chrome on a PC. So this code works but I feel uncomfortable using the <code>stalled</code> event. I've tried <code>canplaythrough</code>, <code>playing</code> and others and in those cases my update to <code>currentTime</code> is ignored. Does anyone else have experience with this?</p> <pre><code>var theClass = this; $(this.videoElement).bind("pause play stalled error abort progress waiting playing webkitfullscreenchange canplaythrough", null, function (e) { ///&lt;summary&gt;bind to the various events we are interested in during playback. event state changes will be saved to ///local storage. If we detect the media has finished playing we will exit fullscreen and trigger our mediaDone event&lt;/summary&gt; if (e.type == "stalled" &amp;&amp; theClass.resumeTriggered) { theClass.resumeTriggered = false; theClass.resumeTime = theClass.resumeTime + 0.1; $("#smpPlayerDebug").append("&lt;p&gt; seeking to time " + theClass.resumeTime + "&lt;/p&gt;"); e.srcElement.currentTime = theClass.resumeTime; } </code></pre>
