Hi Phil,

I've been working on a similar concept for a while now. I've successfully manipulated the video independently from the timeline. This is the basic set up to integrate with Storyline:

let video = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0];
video.duration;
video.currentTime;

video.ontimeupdate = function() { getVideoTimes() };

function getVideoTimes() {

    let player = GetPlayer();
    player.SetVar('currentTime', video.currentTime);
    player.SetVar('duration', video.duration);
    
    console.log(video.currentTime);
    console.log(video.duration);    
}

    Hi Nedim

    Thanks for posting. That was almost the same as I have. I used the help you gave me on a previous post on videos and used that to get the duration.

    Thanks again.
