Using this API, client webpages will be able to perform this limited set of operations on the player:
- Play
- Pause
- Get Toggle auto-replay (loop)
- Set Current Time (in seconds)Set
- Get Current Time (in seconds)
- Toggle auto-replay (loop)
Play, pause, and toggle auto-replay are sent without parameters:
postMessage({'command': 'play'})
postMessage({'command': 'pause'})
postMessage({'command': 'toggle_loop'})
SetCurrentTime is sent with params:
postMessage({'command':'set_offset','offset':123})
GetCurrentTime is sent with no parameters, but requires that a listener be available to hear the server's response, which will look like: data:{'command':'currentTime','currentTime':123}
postMessage({'command': 'get_offset'})
