Getting currentTime from ui.video

How to get currentTime of the video playing in ui.video

[bin-san]

Hi @rodja I would like to implement some functionalities to ui.video:

1. get_current_time() will return the current time in seconds
2. on_pause(handler)
3. on_play(handler)
4. on_seeked(handler)

What do you think

Sounds good. Maybe instead of get_current_time you can provide a property current_time?

[bin-san]

Yes. In that case we have to use a getter for the property so that currentTime could be accessed from the browser only when requested. This will prevent continuous current_time update whenever the video plays.

Also, a setter for current_time will look a more browserish version of seek.

What do you think?

Also, for on_play and other two methods, how about if the handler accept the current_time parameter? In that case, browser onplay will send the currentTime single handedly.

I don't know how nicegui works under the hood... I downloaded the codebase and started playing around... Can you say where to start reading it so I can understand easily how nicegui works

Maybe flet's methods can inspire you a little.

Making current_time awaitable to only request it when needed is good. Also a setter property will come in handy. Passing current_time as parameter to the on_* methods is also good. And of course helpful methods/properties like duration, is_playing etc. are welcome too.
