How to deal with embedded videos playing? #63

Open UNIQUENESSINC opened 4 years ago

UNIQUENESSINC commented 4 years ago

I have a page with embedded videos (not iframes). Short of writing a function to monitor the video embed pause/start times, can TimeMe be adjusted to factor in these elements?

Thanks

Even I was also working on the same concept, but the counter stops, when we perform any iFrame click, Please let me know if you found any feasible solution!

Still no fix, if idle then the timer stop, but when we click or move mouse inside an iframe or YouTube video embed, the timer won't continue until we click or move mouse inside the parent element

in case someone needs it, i have a code in my interval function (that sends the tracked time to the server)

      if(document.activeElement.tagName === 'VIDEO' && !document.activeElement.paused) {
        TimeMe.resetIdleCountdown();
      }

      if(document.activeElement.tagName === 'IFRAME') {
        TimeMe.resetIdleCountdown();
        window.focus();
      }
