display video progress #67

@JaseMK via email:

One addition that has been on my mind for a while but I’ve not had time to look at is a live timer readout for the currently playing video. Perhaps under the video – next to the player controls or under them, I’m not sure, we could have a clock (or Bootstrap progress bar) that shows the current play time. As we’ve disabled the YouTube player controls, there’s currently no indication of how far through a song we are.

On the video component (video.component.ts) there is a ‘this.currentPlayTime’ variable that just tracks the current play time in seconds. This would need to be formatted into a minutes:seconds type string I guess, for rendering. If you do want to work on this, just create a ‘feature/time-readout’ branch (or similar) and then it can be merged back in with a PR when done.

There is also a function in that component – ‘tick()’ – that gets called every 0.5 seconds and updates the play time. If you had some routine to generate a custom formatted time string, you could call it from in there.

Within that component, you can access the YouTube Player API via the ‘this.youtubePlayer’ object, so for example can get the total duration of a song using ‘this.youtubePlayer.getDuration()’. Full YouTube Player API specs here:
