Cannot set currentTime in onReady handler with html5 provider

btamas commented 3 years ago

Expected behaviour

Video should be seeked to the provided time, when I call player.currentTime in onReady handler.

Actual behaviour

No effect. BTW, the ready function is called 2 times. I tried to call currentTime in the second ready, but still doesn't have effect.

Steps to reproduce

Create a player with mp4 video with html5 provider. (It works with youtube provider)
Call currentTime setter on ready
(It works if I call currentTime setter in a setTimeout after 2-300 ms)

Environment

Browser: Chrome 85.0.4183.121, Safari 14.0 (It works in Firefox)
Operating System: MacOS
Version: 10.15.7

Console errors (if any)

For vimeo: this does not work, even with a timeout: the player apparently needs to be playing for currentTime to be set. Calling .play() first, then setting currentTime in a timeout (~500ms) works most of the time, but seems to depend on the timing of the embedded player response/connection speed.

Triggering play first is undesired from a UX perspective (similar to autoplay) and fails anyway on page load/refresh because in that case the user didn't interact with the document first.
