$media API

$media has a very simple and intuitive API, based in jQuery API, so you will know use it in few minutes.

To inicialize a new $media element, you can use the construct $media or the jQuery function $.media:

//Using jQuery:
var video = $.media('#my-video');

//Using the construct function
var video = $media(document.getElementById('my-video'));

Properties of $media

Once the $media instance is created you can access to following properties:

element

The html video/audio element

$element

The jQuery video/audio element

type

The type of element: "video" or "audio"

seek_points

The stored seek points

fragments

The fragment info

var video = $.media('#my-video');

var video_element = video.element;

Prototypes

$media prototypes the objects "String" and "Number" with two new functions: "toSeconds" and "secondsTo". The internal time unit is the second, so sometimes you need convert some time values to seconds or convert seconds to other format.

The available formats are:

ms

The time in miliseconds

mm:ss

The time in minutes:seconds

hh:mm:ss

The time in hours:minutes:seconds

hh:mm:ss.ms

The time in hours:minutes:seconds.miliseconds

var time1 = 4.569.secondsTo('hh:mm:ss'); //Returns 00:00:04
var time2 = "4.569".secondsTo('hh:mm:ss.ms'); //Returns 00:00:04.569
var time3 = '00:01:10'.toSeconds(); //Returns 70
